Abstract

This study on “Managerial skills and Head teachers’ job success in selected nine years basic education of Huye District-Rwanda” was conducted to describe the extent to which possession of managerial skill can determine or explain the level of job success among 9YBE Head teachers. The study design used was of descriptive survey and particularly a descriptive correlation design because the investigator was looking the relationship between two variables: managerial skills and job success of head teachers. The research findings showed that the level of managerial skills of H/T in 9YBE schools of Huye District is qualified as very high. The job success of H/T in 9YBE schools of Huye District was at high level. The computed overall mean index was 3.11 with a standard deviation of 0.69, which fell under high on Likert scale. The findings showed also that there is no significant difference in the level of job success between male and female; single and married H/T with the t-value of 0.96 and significance of 0.31 and 0.32 respectively. It was found that the two variables are significantly correlated at 0.68 r-value and these results are significant at 0.000 level of significance. The researcher recommended the Government of Rwanda via Ministry of Education to train H/T on new and accepted human resources supervision ways; provide enough training on technical skills used daily in the head teachers’ businesses and train H/T on the institutions’ needs assessment.
