Accountability in education refers to the practice of holding educational systems responsible for the quality of their products: students' knowledge, skills, behaviour and attitudes. It is in view of the school's responsibility that: - Society expects schools to facilitate all round development of students; - Schools acknowledge that they are responsible to the students, parents, government, the community and the larger society for what they pass on to their young; - Schools get funds from the government, parents and the larger society for conducting its activities; and, - Society can influence schools and its performance.
