The sample size of this study was a 100 percent of the population using total census sampling technique. A self-structured instrument titled managing internal efficiency for improved rural basic education questionnaire was employed for data collection. Face and content validation was ensured by three experts. The instrument yielded reliability coefficients of 0.83 with the use of Cronbach Alpha reliability method. Mean and Standard Deviation were used in answering research questions while z-test was used for the inferential statistics.
