Abstract

The study aimed at assessing the Local Government Authority Interventions in Managing Public Schools Performance in Itigi District Council. It intended to achieve the following objectives namely to assess the role and meaning of local government authorities intervention in school in various capacities. The study applied both qualitative and quantitative approaches in its analysis. The researcher made a pilot study so as to prove its validity in which he then revealed the weaknesses, changes were made before going to the field for actual data collection which is its reliability. In this study, Data were recorded and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Whereby, qualitatively, data were recorded by taking notes and analyzed by using narrative and content analysis techniques. And quantitatively, data were calculated and computed into forms of frequencies and percentages, then presented in forms of tables and charts. Findings of this study show that, in the study area many respondents are aware of intervention, with few who claimed not to be aware, with the fact that most of them experienced these interventions from different levels of authority. Moreover, the findings show that there are some guidelines that govern the local government authority interventions, though the existing guidelines do not function as to achieve the set educational goals in these schools as they do not incorporate the school s’ administration, not used as directed as well as they seem to be not open to both sides (local government authorities and schools). Lastly, with the actions taken by local government authorities in public schools during intervention, it shows on how the local government authorities are experienced in public schools in the study area, as well as their affects on education progress.
