Abstract:
Effective and goal-oriented administration as the hallmark for academic excellence is the focus of this paper. It is not enough to keep the administrative routine in secondary schools as a doctrine but to be goal-oriented in this era of global competitiveness. Administration of schools must seek to produce quality graduates with employability skills and sustainable alacrity through effective and efficient instructional delivery and students' discipline. The paper examined the need for proper secondary school administration, the challenges of secondary school administration, and recommended the way forward to achieving a better standard of academic excellence.
Keywords:Administration, secondary school, and academic excellence.
