SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Summary of Finding
The study also discovered that records that are always used by secondary school teacher are attendance register, record of work, instruction book, report file, time table, syllabus, cumulative record, worksheet, broadsheet, note of lesson and scheme of work. This findings could be so because all those records are concerned with student’s academic activities in the classroom and school as a whole. They are therefore expected to be used always by teachers or an accredited person can administer corporal punishment on a student.
The study investigated the management of school records in senior secondary schools in Ilorin South L.G.A of Kwara State. The need for the study stems from the fact that some of the school principals do not actually appreciate the value of accurate record keeping in school management. They rather fail to adhere such accurate and reliable school record keeping. In this case, some principals falsify records and choose to keep unreliable and inaccurate records only to achieve their evil self interest.
The analysis indicates that principals and teachers who responded to the items agree that the school records currently kept in senior secondary schools are; admission and withdrawal register, log book, attendance register, school time table, diary of work, visitors book, exam record, time movement book, a copy of national policy on education and lesson note. The analysis equally indicates that the administrative practices that characterized the keeping of school records include; principals delegate the keeping of day-to-day school records to teachers, record events as they occur, keep accurate custody of record, monitor teachers adherence to instruction regard record keeping and check every item of information in the records before appending signatures by school heads. In the analysis also, it was also indicated that, the problems associated with the keeping of school records are; untimely supply of records to schools, lack of thorough supervision by principals, lackof funds, inadequate knowledge of record keeping, destruction of vital records by termites or flood, alteration of data by staff, lack of zeal and interest on the area of record keeping and too many administrative functions of school principals. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the strategies for improving on school records management include; supply of necessary school records to schools should be given the priority it deserves, funds ear-marked for school record management should retired accordingly, managers of school records should be given opportunity for professional course through in-service training, school heads should ensure that records are supplied on time, record management should not be influenced by political consideration and that, every school head should have a “Data Board†containing summary of data on staff, students including school activities.
5.2 Conclusion
From the findings of the study, it could be concluded that the level of records in the senior secondary schools are at the average level. While some are available in the school, some of the records are not. Some records are also being specifically used by the teachers, while some are administrative records. Some of the administrative records are limited to the use of the principal only. The observation of the researcher, the following conclusions can be drawn;
4. Accurate records keeping in the school is very important and as such have great influence on the management and administrative performance of the principals and teachers
ii. The principals who adhere to acceptable and ideal administrative practices in keeping of school records stand chances of improved standard of school records management in the school system.
v. Effective school records management is very vital in general school management. In other words, principals and teachers, must of necessity, ensure accurate school records in the pursuit and accomplishment of school goals and objectives
vi. Where principals fail to employ thorough supervision, achievement of good school records management will always be at crossroads. Also lack of zeal and interest on the part of teachers to keep records in school system dwindle and prevent smooth running of school event
vii. Many of the misunderstanding between schools and school boards/ministries or school heads and teachers are not unconnected with the non-adherence of genuine and accurate school records keeping management.
