Abstract:
This study examined time management on academic performance in Yikrosec – Somanya. The survey covered Yilo Krobo Senior High School (Yikrosec). The study population comprised one thousand five hundred and forty (1540) students and seventy (70) Teaching staff. Therefore the population was one thousand, six hundred and ten (1610). Simple random sampling, stratified sampling and purposive sampling methods were used to select respondents for the study. Responses were gathered from 237 respondents. Data collection methods used were interviews, questionnaire and document review. Data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively and presented in tabular form with percentages and frequency of the respondents using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 21.0 (SPSS V. 21.0). The study found among other things that good time management results in excellent academic performance. The study found that adequate supervision and motivation for both teachers and students on time management will trigger the needed response to improve academic performance and that the reverse is also true. From these findings, the recommendation were that existing policies and regulations on time management and motivation be reviewed by parties involved, thus teacher, students and management to reflect the current trends to ensure excellent academic performance.
