Abstract
National consciousness within educational institutions could enhance effective
management of education for sustainable development. This study examines the
existing relationship between cultural integration, sports activities, gender
equality and management of secondary education for sustainable development in
Nigeria. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 175 principals
from a population of 310 principals and 364 teachers from a population of 6,894
teachers in public senior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria with the use
of Research Advisor (2006) table to determine sample size of a known
population making a total of 539 participants. Data were collected using the
National Consciousness and Management of Education for Sustainable
Development Questionnaire (NCMESDQ), and analyzed using descriptive
statistics and Pearson Correlation. The results revealed that there were positive
and significant relationships between cultural integration, sports activities, gender
equality and management of secondary education for sustainable development in
Nigeria. The findings imply that education managers should improve cultural
integration by finding more common grounds in the cultural practices of the
people in respect to dressing, festivals and the likes, furthermore, education
managers should pay more emphasis on sport activities as a means of bringing
students of various schools together as well as improve on gender equality in
order to maintain effective management of secondary education for sustainable
development in Nigeria.
