Abstract

The seemingly high rate of teachers’ attrition in both public and private secondary schools in Nigeria gave rise to this study. This paper x-rayed how principals’ application of students’ support practices can curb the high rate of teachers’ attrition in secondary schools in Nigeria. The study gave an insight into teachers’ attrition in schools. The theoretical and schematic frameworks were presented and thereafter the main variables of the study were discussed. Conclusions were made and the paper recommended among others that principals of public and private secondary schools in Nigeria should apply students’ support practices as a means for curbing the high rate of teachers’ attrition in secondary schools in Nigeria.
