Abstract
ABSTRACT: Decision making is one of the most important activities, in which school administrators engage in daily. The success or otherwise of a school is critically linked to types of decisions make at various point in the school. The complexity of todays’ secondary school system, and tremendous changed in school environment, suggests a change in management style too from the traditional approaches, which are autocratic and bureaucratic in nature. It is on this that, the study examined one of the modern management styles – participatory leadership style – on school effectiveness in Kwara State, Nigeria. Concepts of decision making and participatory decision making in education were reviewed by using qualitative approach and descriptive analysis. Principals’ administrative role in decision making; the need for teachers’ participation and parental involvement in school decision making process; and school effectiveness in Kwara State were also examined. The paper, further, suggested among others that to achieve the educational goals and objectives, the school principal should develop managerial skills that will enhance effective participation of other school stakeholders. Involving all the stakeholders of the school in decision making will enable the principal to see other stakeholders as resources from which he/she can tap their knowledge and experience to bring about school effectiveness.
