AB  - In this study, gender and politics were
investigated as determinants of principal’s attitude
towards education management in Imo State, Nigeria. The
main purpose of this study was to determine the nexus
between gender, politics and principals’ attitude towards
education management. Two tentative statements served
as Hypothesis to guide the study. Up to 150 randomly
selected principals of secondary schools (upper basic
education level schools (JSS 1-3) and senior secondary
schools) to serve as respondents. These principals are all
principals in secondary schools in Imo State. A
questionnaire that contained gender/politics scale and
principals attitudes towards education management was
administered for data collection. Multiple regression listed
at 0.05 level of significance was used to analyse the
hypothesis. The findings revealed that the criterion
variable which is principals’ attitudes towards education
management showed that principals’ attitudes towards
education management correlate positively and low
towards politics. It was also realized that gender was not
a determinant of both principals’ attitude towards
education management and politics. Principals informed
the researchers that they are not interested in politics of
Imo State, that what they need is to gain their promotions
and retire in peace. They further noted that the
government of Imo State, under the leadership of Owelle
Anayo Rochas Okorocha has not been effective in giving
them their entitlements, allowances and full
renumerations.
