This study was designed in order to find out the impact of supervision on the management of primary schools in Northern Kaduna State. The designed objectives were to determine the impact of supervision on the management of instructional work, school records, school environment,
school and community relationship, school funding, and staff development. These were properly achieved by descriptive research method. Data were collected with the use of questionnaire. A total of 234 supervisors and teachers responded to the questionnaire, the data were analysed and

There is need for constant supervision of instructional work. This helps in achieving primary school aims and objectives. It is recommended among others that workshops and conferences be organized to teachers from time to time.

INTRODUCTION
Kaduna State is in the northern part of Nigeria; and it shares boarders with Katsina State by the north, Kano and Plateau by the east and Federal Capital Abuja, Niger, Nasarawa states by the South. Education is the bedrock of any developing country, and Nigeria is not an exception.
It is a formal system with a special design which is called the school. The Nigerian educational system is designed based on levels, according to the current educational reform; the levels consist of primary, secondary and tertiary. The basic level is made up of primary and junior secondary level.
There are both private and public schools. The primary schools were supported by public funds (i.e by government) with other support from nongovernmental organizations. Public primary schools are for all the children in various communities.
Primary school is a social system as it is a collection of people with contribution towards the achievement of self and the country goals. The children at that level are between six to seven years of age, whom are expected to be taught for at least six years in the schools. Teachers, head teachers and other none teaching staff are provided in such schools.
