INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Education is viewed as the process of inviting truth and possibility. It is the wise, hopeful and respectful cultivation of learning undertaken in the belief that all should have the chance to share in life. Dewey, J. (1938). Learning is both a process and an outcome.

Educational Supervision consist of all effort involving school officials directed at t providing leadership to educational workers or teachers to enhance an improved educational system and institution. The process involves the deployment of human and material resources such as pupils, parents, teachers and other employees, the community and other officials of the state.
