Abstract: The study examined the difference in administrative practices in Public Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State based on principals’ personal variable. The ex-post facto design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all the 274 principals in Public Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State. The sample size of this study comprised 163 Principal General, which represents 59.5% of the population. Two instruments entitled, “Principals’ Personal Variable Questionnaire (PPVQ) and Administrative Practices Questionnaire (APQ)†were used to gather data for the study. The instruments were validated by three experts. The reliability of the instruments was determined using Cronbach Alpha Analysis with reliability coefficients of .86 for PPVQ and .87 for APQ. Mean and Standard Deviation were used in answering the research question while T-Test was used in testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The finding of the study revealed a significant difference in administrative practices in Public Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State based on principals’ gender. Based on this finding, it was concluded that principals’ gender is significant predictor of administrative practices in Public Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State. It was recommended, amongst others that, female principals should always be engaged to work as they are more effective in administrative practices in public secondary schools than male principals.
