Research questions and hypotheses were set according to the stated objectives. A descriptive survey research design was adopted to collect data from the respondents. The instrument used for the study was questionnaire. The instrument was submitted to the Supervisors of this research work for validation and it was successfully vetted, screened and verified. The sample size for this study was 303 comprising 254 teachers, 42 Head teachers and 7 Principal inspectors. Simple random sampling technique was employed for this study. The data were analyzed and interpreted through the use of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Out of the six hypotheses tested, only one was retained while five were rejected. The result showed that some aspects of primary schools management in the state such as inspection/supervision, maintenance of facilities, staff development and provision of facilities were given little attention over the years due to low level of commitment on the part of stakeholders in the state. As a matter of emergency, there is need for more efforts by the relevant stakeholders especially in the funding system of education to cover the areas of training of primary school teachers, provision of adequate and relevant teaching/learning materials and provision of qualified teachers and inspection/supervision personnel. Moreover, the in-service needs of the teachers in the state should be improved. The educational authorities should try to ensure active participation of Parent teachers’ Association in all the affairs of primary and post primary institutions in the state. Irregularities in the maintenance of facilities in primary schools in the state should be addressed. The State Universal Basic Education Board and other relevant stakeholders should intensify more efforts at regular intervals in the provision of the needed facilities in primary schools in the state. Based on the recommendations made so far, it is suggested that there is need for further studies on the topic of this research but in another state. Similar research should also be conducted on the Assessment of Stakeholders’ Role Performance on the Administration of Post-Primary Schools in Zamfara State. similar study should equally be conducted on specific areas of study, such could be on the Assessment of Teachers/Head teachers/Local Government Education Authorities/Parent Teachers’ Association/Universal Basic Education’s Role Performance on the Management of Primary Schools in Zamfara State.
