Abstract

This paper focused on the role of instructional supervision in achieving goals of secondary education in Nigeria. The study examined the concepts of goal achievement, supervision and instruction. The paper highlighted the significance and nature of instructional supervision in Nigerian secondary education. The study distinguished between instruction, which directly impacts students, and supervision, which focuses on teacher support, often conducted by internal or external supervisors. The paper concluded that understanding objectives of instructional supervision in the Nigerian secondary schools can empower teachers and supervisors to develop strategies, to overcome challenges and stay motivated, ultimately achieving educational goals. The paper however suggested that collaborative environment where teachers feel empowered to share their expertise, contribute to decision-making on instructional practices, and collectively solve problems; ultimately enhancing the classroom experience should always be promoted by supervisors
