The methodological inquiry was quantitative research approach using descriptive cross-sectional design which included the following statistical analyses: mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Findings revealed that whiles teachers in private schools agreed that their headmasters employed communication skills in managing their schools, their counterparts in public schools disagreed.

The head master perception on the same issues indicated that both head teachers in public and private school agreed that the level of academic orientation in their schools was high.
