This study aims to determine the extent school-based management committee (SBMC) participates in enhancing quality assurance in secondary school management in Enugu state, Nigeria.,A total of 1,305 people participated in the study, which included a sample of 843 comprising 281 principals in all the public secondary schools, 281 community representatives and 281 Parent Teachers Association (PTA) representatives were randomly selected form Enugu State, Nigeria. There were 17 local government areas in Enugu State where those public schools were located; a 29-item questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. In addition, the questionnaire was developed using simple English words to facilitate their understanding. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while analysis of variance was used to test the hypotheses.,The findings showed that SBMC enhanced quality assurance in public secondary schools in Enugu State to a low extent. The government should therefore educate the principals on the role of the SBMC to ensure quality in public secondary schools in Enugu State, Nigeria.,It was challenging for the researchers to help the principals understand the rationale and significance of the study. Thus, the researchers spent a great deal of time, explaining the parameters and goals of the study. Another limitation was that additional data from interview and focus group could have added more useful information. Therefore, future researchers should try as much as possible to add focus group discussion and interview in studies similar to this one.,The finding that there are major problems militating against the operation of the SBMC in public secondary schools in Enugu State Nigeria implies that if proper policy is not made to ease the implementation of SBMC, it would be difficult to maintain quality assurance in the secondary schools. In addition, the findings show indication that educational counseling is lacking in the secondary schools in Enugu state, especially on the part of principals, and PTA. Therefore, there is need for the government to make quality assurance counseling available for principal and PTA to ensure quality assurance.,The researchers originated that SBMC enhances quality assurance in public secondary schools.

社区参与中学管理质量保证

本研究旨在确定尼日利亚埃努古州的校本管理委员会（SBMC）参与增强中学管理质量保证的程度。共有1,305人参加了该研究，其中包括843名样本，其中包括281名校长在所有公立中学中，从尼日利亚的Enugu州随机选出281个社区代表和281个家长教师协会（PTA）代表。这些公立学校位于埃努古州的17个地方政府地区；一项29项问卷被用作数据收集工具。此外，使用简单的英语单词来开发问卷以促进他们的理解。均值和标准差用于回答研究问题，研究结果表明，SBMC在较低程度上增强了Enugu州公立中学的质量保证。因此，政府应就SBMC的作用对校长进行教育，以确保尼日利亚Enugu州公立中学的质量。研究人员要帮助校长了解研究的原理和意义是一项挑战。因此，研究人员花费了大量时间，解释了研究的参数和目标。另一个限制是，来自访谈和焦点小组的其他数据本可以添加更多有用的信息。因此，未来的研究人员应在与此类似的研究中尽可能多地增加焦点小组讨论和访谈。在尼日利亚埃努古州公立中学存在严重阻碍SBMC运作的重大问题的发现表明，如果未制定适当的政策来简化SBMC的实施，将很难维持中学的质量保证。此外，调查结果表明，埃努古州的中学缺乏教育咨询，尤其是校长和PTA。因此，政府需要为校长和PTA提供质量保证咨询，以确保质量保证。研究人员认为，SBMC加强了公立中学的质量保证。很难维持中学的质量保证。此外，调查结果表明，埃努古州的中学缺乏教育咨询，尤其是校长和PTA。因此，政府需要为校长和PTA提供质量保证咨询，以确保质量保证。研究人员认为，SBMC加强了公立中学的质量保证。很难维持中学的质量保证。此外，调查结果表明，埃努古州的中学缺乏教育咨询，尤其是校长和PTA。因此，政府需要为校长和PTA提供质量保证咨询，以确保质量保证。研究人员认为，SBMC加强了公立中学的质量保证。
