Abstract
his study was specifically designed and conducted to investigate the contribution of
school governance to performance of teachers in secondary schools in Apac district.
The study focused on examining the roles school governance played in improving the
performance of teachers in the district specifically in teaching. The researcher applied a
Correlational survey study design using quantitative approach to derive meaning from
quantitative data generated. The main research instrument used to obtain data during
the study was Likert scale Self administered questionnaire adopted and modified to
suit the objectives of the study. Data collection was guided by the research questions
and objectives. A total of 126 respondents were purposely and randomly sampled from
the eight secondary schools in the district. Results from the study and analysis showed
that there was a significant relationship between school governance and the
performance of teachers in reference to teaching. Revelations from the study further
indicated that the board of governors did not sufficiently monitor and supervise the
teaching process hence making some teachers not to effectively perform. The study
recommended that the Board of Governors should recruit more qualified teachers to
mitigate the problem of poor performance; the board of governors should also involve
teachers in the process of school management.
