Abstract

The study attempts to explore the challenges confronting head teachers in the management of special schools in Ghana. The study was conducted using qualitative research design. Nine out of 29 head teachers were sampled for the study. All head teachers stressed that they were confronted with numerous challenges that affect the management of the schools. The main challenge identified by the study participants was that special education teachers in Ghana were not adequately motivated. The study therefore recommended that special incentive packages be instituted for teachers in the schools and that the Ministry of Education should release funds on time to the schools to enable the school management acquires the resources needed for effective teaching and learning in the special schools.
