Secondary school education is an important level of education in any country
because it is a bridge between the foundation and the future build-up of generation of youths and
larger students to ensure successful and worthwhile academic achievement of our students. It is
an established fact that continuous and constant academic supervision is necessary in our
schools if the quality, standard and academic grades of higher status are to be achieved. There
are three levels of internal academic supervision in secondary schools which are the upper
level(principals/vice-principals), middle level(head of departments) and the lower levels(subject
heads).From all indications, internal academic supervision is the sure best for improving the
present quality and also maintaining higher standards because of its ease of access, cordial
relationship to teachers for monitoring, correction and entrenchment of ideas and innovations.
Therefore,this paper is to highlight how the vice-principals would achieve effective academic
supervision, content of academic supervision and developmental strategies of vice-principals as
a central agent of transforming secondary school education system for greater outcomes.
