This study investigated the problems facing the management of the education of blind students in Nigerian public schools. The research questions addressed (1) assessing the quality and effectiveness of managerial practices governing the management of blind students in self-contained schools, (2) assessing the quality and effectiveness of policies and practices governing the inclusion of blind and visually impaired students in the regular classrooms of mainstreamed schools, (3) the unique nature of the problems confronting the academic performance of blind and visually impaired students in three of Nigeria's most populous state capitals, and (4) assessing the obstacles associated with the self-concept of blind and visually impaired students. Several research hypotheses were also formulated and tested through appropriate statistical procedures.The data for the study were collected through a survey instrument distributed to a group of high school teachers and principals of the three most populated state capitals. The findings of the study revealed the following conclusions. Finally, based on the findings derived from examining the research questions and hypotheses, a number of recommendations were made to school administrators and teachers, the key educational policymakers, parents of blind students, higher education institutions, and federal government. Several suggestions are made to future researchers who might be interested in conducting other possible studies related to the education of blind students, especially in Nigeria.
