Abstract: This study examined the influence of management strategies on the effective keeping of school records, in secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria. As a descriptive survey, the study population comprised all the 171 secondary schools in the state. Out of this population, a sample of 112 schools was taken and selected through the process of stratified random sampling technique. Out of the 4,250 teachers in the sampled schools, 1152 teachers including the principals of schools were selected. The selection was done through the process of stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect data for the study was an inventory while the data collected were analyzed using percentages, t-test, correlation matrix and multiple regression. The findings showed that the number of many school records available did not match the number required in the schools. On the average, the level of record keeping in the schools was low. Likewise, the devices used for keeping school records in many schools were archaic and obsolete. Notwithstanding, school records were found to be more effectively kept in urban schools than in rural schools. The best predictor of the effective keeping of school records in the schools was effective supervision which contributed 36.4% to the regression equation. Based on these findings, it was recommended that government should intensify more efforts in recruiting and training of qualified personnel to handle the keeping of records in schools. Modern record keeping equipment such as computers should be provided in all secondary schools in the State.
