the administrative style of the principal. The questionnaire was administered by the investigator.The data collected were analysed using figures, percentages,
and spearman rank order correlation statiscs. The study discovered that conducive school climate encourages teachers to stay longer in their place of work and perform
better in their professional duties and that students in a conducive school climate perform better than those in an unconducive school climate. It was also revealed that
adequacy of planning and provision of physical, material,human and financial resources is a factor of good school climate.
