Abstract

This study investigated the factors for promoting safe school measures in the realization of goal achievement 
in Public Senior Secondary Schools, North-Central Zone, Nigeria. A quantitative research design was 
applied in the study. A total of 760 for both teachers and principals were chosen as a research sample 
through proportional and simple sampling technique. Data analysis using Pearson product moment 
correlation coefficient was performed to determine the factors for promoting safe school measures in the 
realization of goal achievement. It was found that there was significant, positive and strong relationship 
among physical security outfit, ICT surveillance, school fencing, security training and goal achievement 
where (r = .661, P = < .000, r = .663, P = < .000, r = .673, P = < .000, r = 657, P = < .000). In conclusion, 
physical security outfit, ICT surveillance, school fencing, security training serve as the major determinant of 
safe school measure which should be integrated for the realization of goal achievement.
