The study revealed that teachers in private secondary schools participate more in decision making than teachers in public secondary schools. In public secondary schools, the Ministry of Education influence most of the decisions, this is not the case with private schools where the decision body is part of the school i.e. the proprietor, principal and teaching staff. The study also revealed that participation in decision making can influence performance as teachers who participate in decision making tend to perform better, and that the relationship between participation and performance varies on the bases of sex, experience and qualification as long as they are allowed equal participatory opportunities in decision making. To this end, it is therefore recommended by the researchers that all categories of staff should be encouraged to have a say in school governance. The Ministry of Education should device a means to encourage staff in public schools to participate in decisions that affect the school.
