Abstract
This study was carried out in order to assess the management of human resource towards
the achievement of public and private secondary schools comparatively in Niger State. It has
been observed by the researcher that, recruitment of teachers for public secondary schools in
Niger State happens to be the most suffered area of human resource, which may not be the
same case with private secondary schools. Also public secondary schools teachers suffered
late implementation of their promotions. Many parents today prefer to have their children
schooling in private secondary schools than public ones. In addition to the meager salaries
given to private secondary school teachers; yet private school managers do not release their
staff for in-service training. The study was guided by six objectives which include: to compare
recruitment process, find out staff training methods, assess motivation strategies, and
determine staff discipline applied in public and private secondary schools in Niger State. A
descriptive research survey design was adopted for the study. The 26,946 population
constituted of zonal education officials, principals and teachers of public and private
secondary schools out of which 378 was taken as sample size. A set of questionnaire was used
as instrument for data collection. The six formulated hypotheses were tested by ANOVA. The
finding revealed that the nature of recruitment for public teacher was influenced by god
fatherism when compared with private schools. Private secondary schools authorities found
difficulty in releasing their staff for study leave with pay. Public teachers suffered delay for
the late implementation of their promotions, while private teachers received meager amount
of salaries. Regular internal supervision is what fetches credit to private secondary schools in
Niger State. It was therefore, recommended that, recruitment of teachers in public secondary
schools should be based on merit without the influence of god fathers. The private secondary
schools authorities should be given soft loan to their teachers who wish to go for in service
training, distinguished senators and honourable members of Niger State should be
encouraged to use 50% of their allowance to pay the outstanding promotions of public
secondary schools teachers, people of authority in public sector should be mandated to have their children schooling in public secondary schools.
