RE-ENGINEERING EFFECTIVE SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR LEADERSHIP, VALUES RE-ORIENTATION AND SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This paper focused on re-engineering effective secondary education for leadership, values reorientation and sustainable national development. Effective secondary education is an approach to secondary (high school-level) education that focuses on practical, applicable knowledge and skills that prepare students for real-world challenges, employment, or further education. To achieve sustainable national development, education must be practical, value-driven, and skill-oriented. This paper aims to explore the concept of effective education and highlights the importance of incorporating both effective learning and values re-orientation into Nigeria's secondary education system. The concepts of values re-orientation and sustainable national development were emphasized. The author emphasized that for effective education to promote leadership, values re-orientation, and sustainable national development, it must be properly managed. The aspects of education that require management, the reasons for managing education, and the importance of these practices within the context of effective secondary education were discussed. Efforts were also made to explore how effective secondary education should be managed to achieve sustainable national development, as well as to assess the public's expectations of its graduates.
