ABSTRACT
The study sought to find out how female heads perform their duties as administrators of Senior High schools to improve teaching and learning in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. Descriptive research design was used to conduct the study. The population for the study consisted of heads of Senior High School as well as teaching and non-teaching staffs. Questionnaire was designed and used to collect data for the study. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a total sample size of 205 which included female heads and teaching and non-teaching staffs. Statistical Product for Service Solution was used to analyse the data. Percentages, means and standard deviations were used to summarise the data. The study revealed that female heads in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis made use of effective leadership styles to manage their schools. They related very well with their subordinates and managed funds properly in their schools. They assigned tasks and duties to their subordinates and effectively supervised the tasks to ensure that they were properly carried out. The conditions in the institutions were found to be very conducive and allowed for effective management of the schools resulting in enhanced teaching and learning. It was recommended that Regional, District Directors of education and schools’ Board of Governors should use platforms provided by Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) to educate the staff and parents that the female heads are not bossy and autocratic as they may think.
