Abstract

 The central focus of this article is on the management of human resources and the streamlined management of public secondary schools in Bayelsa State.The study involved 5,400 instructors from 75 public schools in Bayelsa State. Using the "Yaro Yamane" method, 334 teachers and 38 principals were selected as participants, totaling 372 individuals. Data were collected through a questionnaire named the Optimal Administration and Human Resource Management in Public Secondary Schools (OAHRMPSSQ), which is developed specifically for this research. The instrument's 
accuracy was verified by the human resources department of Niger Delta University, and its reliability was confirmed 
through a test-retest procedure yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.5. The study's findings indicate a significant 
influence on the impact of managing human resource on administrative efficiency in Bayelsa State's public secondary 
schools. Recommendations stemming from the study advocate for the implementation of human resource management 
policies across all public secondary schools and the timely revision of educational policies to align with the current 
societal development trends.
