walking home from school; Teachers spent 188.79 minutes. a day. in managing
, instruction. 146.9 minutes on administrative duties. and a whopping 956.39 minutes
on activities encoded social as against 251.64 minutes for instruction. The study also
revealed that while some teachers assumed the elevated responsibility of providing
instructional leadership for both staff and students. there were others who merely gave
instruetions without applying any skillneeessary for professional practice. Ifschool
