dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between management and A-Level students’ academic performance in selected private secondary schools in Luweero District. The study was guided by three objectives namely to; (i) investigate how planning relates with A-Level students’ academic performance. (ii) Examine the relationship between supervision and A-Level students’ academic performance and (iii) find out how controlling relates with A-Level students’ academic performance. A correlational research design guided the study, using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. A sample of 127 academic staff and 36 administrative staff was randomly selected to participate in the study. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Pearson’s Linear Correlational Coefficient (r) was used to determine the magnitude and significance of the relationship between variables. The findings were; there was a positive and significant relationship between planning, supervision, controlling and students’ academic performance. Conclusions were; (i) there was a positive correlation between planning and A-Level students’ academic performance, (ii) there was a positive correlation between supervision and A-Level students’ academic performance and (iii) there was a positive correlation between controlling and A-level students’ academic performance. It was recommended that secondary school administrators and managers should; (i) strengthen planning to enhance A-Level students’ academic performance, (ii) strengthen supervision to enhance A-Level students’ academic performance and (iii) strengthen controlling practices to enhance A-Level students’ academic performance in selected private secondary schools in Luweero District.en_US
