Abstract:

School administration requires instructional leadership, personnel, and financial management. These require school leaders to have the knowledge and skills to run school organisations. This descriptive survey assessed the administrative skills of the public elementary and secondary school heads of Antique, Philippines. This study collected data using a researcher-made questionnaire on school heads’ administrative competence. The surveys were personally given to private school leaders and teachers for experimental testing. The frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used for descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U-Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Bonferroni’s Pairwise Multiple Comparison, and Pearson’s r for inferential statistics. The two-tailed alpha 0.05 significance threshold was used for all inferential data. SPSS 22.0 was used for all statistical computations. As a group and when categorised by sex, personality type, job, school level, and number of faculty-supervised, responders had very strong instructional leadership, personnel, and financial management skills. Grouping responders by school level revealed significant disparities in instructional leadership. Personnel management showed considerable disparities in administrative skills by position, school level, and faculty-supervised. School-level and faculty-supervised numbers significantly affected respondents’ administrative skills in financial management.
