About this eBook

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Afrikawissenschaften - Sonstiges, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (EDUCATION), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This paper examined the principals’ strategies in managing conflict in secondary schools in Nigeria. Conflict as a concept has become so pervading, that it is part of life and existence itself. The paper looked at meaning, levels, types, causes and effects and concept of conflict management strategies. It was recommended among others that the guidance and counselling committees in the schools should be strengthened so that they can educate the students on better ways of handling conflict. School authorities should complement reward students’ good behaviors and to encourage them to behave well in school. Peer mediation teams should be established with selected students who are well behaved and equipped with conflict resolution skills to help the schools handle interpersonal conflict. This group could be trained periodically by the district education office, civil society, or any community-based or non-governmental organization which is interested in conflict management so that basic schools in the district would have relatively reduced conflict environment. It is also necessary for students to be educated on all the conflict resolution mechanisms in the schools and sanctions for certain offences.
