techniques ware also used. The main technique of Data collection used was
questionnaires, observation and photography.
According to findings, this research has made it clear that social responsibility
leads to reduction and solution of socio economic problems. Among others, it
leads to risk reduction, staff retention, cost savings, cordial relationship with all
stakeholders, reduction in moral decay, unemployment, ignorance, poverty.

to supplement on salary, more care for government concerns, offer of more
vocational education, high level of transparency of the school and accountability
to its owners, among others.
