Relevant literature was reviewed based on the study objectives; to determine the profile of respondents affected by conflicts in schools, types and causes of conflicts that exists in the primary education system, strategies administrators used in primary schools to manage and resolve conflicts in the superior — subordinate relationships and the effects of conflicts in the teaching- learning process in primary schools.
