This study examined quality assurance indicators and their implementation in primary school administration in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The research employed a descriptive survey design, targeting 100 participants comprising 10 supervisors, 10 school administrators, and 80 teachers from 10 randomly selected public primary schools. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and percentages. The findings revealed that while quality assurance measures are recognized as important (mean = 3.2), their implementation remains inconsistent across schools. Supervisors and administrators reported higher satisfaction levels (mean = 3.5) with current quality indicators compared to teachers (mean = 2.6). Key quality assurance challenges identified include inadequate resources (78% of respondents), insufficient training (65%), and limited feedback mechanisms (58%). The study found that 90% of supervisors and 85% of administrators believe supervision significantly impacts student learning outcomes, while only 72% of teachers agreed. Regular classroom observation emerged as the most implemented quality indicator (83%), followed by teacher performance evaluation (76%) and curriculum compliance monitoring (69%). The research recommends strengthening quality assurance frameworks through enhanced training, adequate resource allocation, and the establishment of standardized feedback systems to improve educational outcomes in public primary schools.
