Abstract
This study was designed to investigate data management practices of
secondary school administrators in Nsukka Education Zone of Enugu
State. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The
population comprised 58 principals and 2004 teachers. The entire
population of the principals were used and 2004 teachers were
sampled for the study using multistage sampling technique. Three
research questions were used to guide the study. The instrument used
for data collection was questionnaire. The instruments consisted of
twenty two (22) items questionnaires titled Data Management
Questionnaire. The instrument was analyzed using mean and
standard deviation for the research questions.
Constraints to data management include requisite knowledge of
managing data, lack of data storage, epileptic power supply and
inadequate fund etc. Moreso, strategies that could be employed to
enhance the utilization of data include refresher courses,
administrators should be computer literate, equipment for storage and
retrieval should made available etc. Based on the above findings a
number of recommendations were made that: Administrators should
be trained on the aspect of managing data like filling. All the
departments and units in our schools and board should avoid inflation
of data. There should be a laid down rule on how data should be
collected, stored and managed to ensure its management.
