This paper examines approaches to improving management of secondary education for maximum goal attainment in Rivers State, Nigeria. The paper conceptualizes management and secondary education and discusses approaches such as accountability and transparency in secondary school, funding, qualitative teachers, conducive classroom environment, supervision, teacher’s motivation, parental involvement and provision for good school facilities. In conclusion, management of secondary education should involve PTA’s and local community for effective goal attainment. The paper suggested among others that the teachers should be well equipped with relevant teaching aids before entering the classrooms, and the school authorities should ensure that school accounts are regularly audited in an organize manner with a view to sanitize the system.
