Highlights
The school system is a social organization primarily concerned with the interest and welfare of the learners
This agrees with the opinion of Onasanya (2013) who posits that school supervision helps teachers in school management, assist them in development of needed teaching competences, development of sound education philosophy, creating confidence in incompetent teachers, identifies urgent needs in classroom and schools and examines continuously school instructional goals and assesses teacher’s performance in meeting such goals
The result is in line with the opinion of Cheryl (2005) who submits the extent to which students are provided with conducive learning environment with all the necessary facilities depends greatly on the level of effective school supervision
Summary
The school system is a social organization primarily concerned with the interest and welfare of the learners. The central task of the school system is to ensure effective teaching-learning process; so that the right knowledge and skills, attitudes and values are imparted on the learners. It is further aimed at promoting the mental, spiritual, moral, cultural and physical development of the learners with a view to preparing them for better opportunities, responsibilities and experiences that would make them useful to themselves, and the society at large (Ogunu, 2000).
