Department of Educational Foundations (Educational Administration and Planning
Unit) while one was Measurement and Evaluation Unit of Science Education, all from
the Faculty of Education, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. The reliability of the
instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha technique which yielded a
reliability coefficient of 0.80. Mean (x) and standard deviation (SD) were used to
answer the research questions while t-test statistics was used to test the null
hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings from the data analysis revealed
among others that principal’s implementation of student right to peaceful
association is to a high extent and that Principals’ implementation of students right
to fair hearing in public secondary schools in Ebonyi State is to a high extent. Based
on the findings the study recommended that: principals should not hinder students
from associating or belonging to a peaceful association in the school and also
educate the students on the needs of associating with others and that principal
should ensure that students are not prevented or restricted from their mode of
expression.
