| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the effect of evaluation on the administration of private secondary schools.
Three main objectives were set to guide the study and these include: examining the effects of
evaluation and administration of private secondary schools, establishing the relationship between
evaluation and administration of private secondary schools and examining the effect of the
leadership Styles of head-teachers in evaluation on the administration of private secondary
schools. A Cross sectional research design was used during this study. Self-administered
questionnaire and interview guide were used on a stratified sample of 336 respondents in
Kampala district. Data was analyzed and summarized using percentages and mean. Relationships
were established using correlation and regression analysis techniques.
The Study findings reveal a positive significant relationship between the effect of evaluation and
administration of private secondary schools (r=0.648**; p<0.05). The study noted that evaluation
was being carried out in schools in form of both external and internal evaluation by the
Directorate of Education Standards and school heads. This study therefore revealed that the
efficiency of school head-teachers in form of close supervision leads to improved administration
goals. It was revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between evaluation and
administration of private secondary schools (r=0.776**; p<0.05) with factors such as evaluation
of adjustment of school programs, evaluating what motivates teachers especially in relation to
class room teaching, evaluating development of ready skills and encouraging long-term
behaviors for both students and teachers, evaluating community awareness and resources
availability as the most dimensions that indicate good administration. There was positive
significant relationship between leadership styles of head-teachers and their administration of
private secondary schools (beta=0.330, p<0.05). The determinants of this relationship are
changes in democratic, charismatic and autocratic leadership styles.

inspection by government are not put to waste. Also, head-teachers’ motivation should be raised
such that their work can be done in good spirit. It should be the role of school Boards of
Governors to ensure that school heads who are the interface between them and teachers are
properly motivated so as to guarantee proper school administration. | en_US |
