A questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was found that the factors that highly affect the smooth implementation of human resource management practices were adequate infrastructure, finance, effective leadership, quality staff, increased in students' population, effective training and collaboration. There was a positive and significant relationship between the effectiveness of school management and the implementation of human resource management practices.
