Abstract It is axiomatic that the role of the principal is vital in the attainment of the primary goals and objectives of the school hence this study examined the _ personal characteristics of principals and their effective management of secondary schools in Edo State. Sixty principals formed the sample of the study which represented ten percent (10%) of the 596 secondary school principals in Edo State. The study was based on survey research design.

Abstract This study investigated the prevalence of sexual harassment and peace building among female students in Colleges of Education in Delta State. To guide the study, two research questions were raised while two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study covered all the three Federal and State Colleges of Education in Delta State. The descriptive sun>ey design was adopted. Two thousand (2000) students were used as the population of the study. Three hundred (15%) respondents were sampled out of the population. Questionnaire was the instrument used to obtain responses from the respondents. The instrument was validated by experts and the reliability coefficient through P(r) was 0.85. The data collected were analyzed, using mean, standard deviation and t-test. The findings of the study revealed that the prevalence of sexual harassment of female students was high. This is a risk to the existence of peace and a hindrance to peace building efforts of college administrators. It was therefore recommended, among others, that school authorities should give appropriate orientation to the students on sexual harassment upon their admission into schools; and school authorities, in conjunction with government, should take up the mantle to the mass media for public education with emphasis on peace building in tertian' institutions.

Abstract The paper examines the effects of class size on effective classroom management in junior secondary schools in Nigeria. Concepts of class size, classroom management, challenges teachers and students face in large classes, and suggestions as to how class size problems could be solved to ensure effective classroom management are discussed, among others. Large class sizes can strongly affect classroom management in Nigeria's junior secondary schools. Therefore, the government made recommendations to provide the needed teachers in the general subjects to minimise the use of large classes. A conscious staff development plan is recommended to ensure that people desirous of pursuing higher education are given the necessary assistance. The school must prioritise the right to ensure resources are channelled to more important areas such as the provision of the classroom, seating places, teaching and learning equipment, and other facilities to ensure effective classroom management. Government must expand and fund the existing schools to ensure the quality delivery of their mandate. Teachers should be encouraged and given a refresher subject on managing large classes from time to time for effective classroom management.
