Accountability of Secondary School Teachers: Determinants of Quality Education

Abstract

Accountability is the responsibility that goes with the authority to do something. The responsibility is to use authority justifiably and credibly. The teachers are accountable or answerable; they are responsible for the fulfillment of obligations, liability to account for conduct, meet or suffer consequences, to hold a trustee to his accountability, the accountability of parents towards their children. Accountability is multi-faceted: it involves responsibility, authority, evaluation and control.
