The population of the study was 305 school principals and vice from 23 Senior Secondary Schools spread across the 7 Local Government Areas in zone A. A sample size of 177 Principal and vice principals participated in the study selected by a multi Stage random sampling. Two instruments were used for the study; a self-constructed questionnaire title Benue State Ministry of Education Personnel Management Practices Questionnaire (BSMEPMPQ) and Secondary School Enrolment Proforma (SSEP). Four statistical tools were employed for data analysis; Mean, Percentage, Regression and t-test. The study revealed that BSMoE was rated low in compliance to the laid down teacher recruitment, deployment practices.
