Abstract	Schools and other educational institutions are established, maintained and sustained essentially to achieve certain assured objectives. The goals of such establishment cannot be easily achieved without putting in place certain mechanisms towards ensuring the success of implementation of its policies and programmes. In the education system, one of the vital mechanisms to be put in place towards achieving the goals of the school and ensuring quality service delivery to the society is accountability. This paper therefore examines the concept of accountability in education, its dimensions and relevance in the school system. Some factors hindering accountability in the education system and strategies for improving accountability in the School System like regular supervision of schools, visionary leadership, effective communication, education auditing and adequate funding of the education sector to ensure efficient management and improve quality service delivery by the schools in Nigeria are adduced.
