Headmasters practised more Autocratic style, and Democratic style compared to Laizzie-faire style. All eight Headmasters were also found to carry out managing functions of planning, supervising, leading and controlling. The results show that teacher's commitment is high. From the study 39.3 percent of the respondents indicates that they
will continue their services and 23.4 percent hopes to further their studies in 10 years time.
