Managing Schools In Post-COVID Era Implications For Institutional Managers In Nigerian Schools

Abstract

This paper focused on the role expected of institutional managers in driving the new normal, forced on institutions by the occurrence of COVID-19 that disrupted educational activities and institutional programmes. This resulted in the dual mode of teaching, toward achieving the set goals of education. The paper observed some challenges of the new approach to teaching, to include teachers' poor preparation, inadequate planning, lack of facilities, and financial constraints among others. It suggested exposure of teachers to training, institutional collaboration with online learning technology and service providers, as well as constituting technical committee of experts to ensure flexibility of lessons, in driving the new normal towards the achievement of educational objectives.
