Abstract

In recent years the Ministry of Education (MOE), NGOs’ and schools’ management advocate girls’ education. Their effort in raising awareness and promoting the importance of girls’ education has significantly increased the gross enrolment rate of girls. However, the emphasis given to address the problems of girls’ achievement in education is insignificant. The high school’s management clear, relevant, and applicable role and affective, continuance and normative commitment is vital to improve girls’ achievement in education. In order to find out such role and commitment of high schools’ management to improve girls’ achievement in education, the researcher collected data from a sample of eight high schools found in five Sub Cities of Addis Ababa. The researcher employed mixed research method and purposive sampling technique for the study. According to the study result, the high schools’ management didn’t have clear role and guideline to improve girls’ achievement in education. Besides, the management of the schools’ overlooked to learn in depth about the importance of girls’ education, factors that negatively affect girls’ achievement in education, and tackle the affecting factors in a systematic and organized manner. These showed the management’s commitment was insignificant. Due to lack of such role and commitment, the girls’ achievement in education is not given proper emphasis as it was given to increase their enrolment. Therefore, the study recommends, it is the right time to clearly state the role of the schools’ management and demand their commitment to improve girls’ achievement in education before the success in enrolment is reversed.
