This study investigated the extent to which management of home economics curriculum influence goals attainment of private secondary schools in Cross River State, Nigeria. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 300 out of a total of 491 private secondary schools in the three education zones of Cross River State. Two instruments were used for data collection namely Management of Curriculum Innovation Questionnaire (MOCIQ) and Goals Attainment Scale (GAS). Out of the 300 private secondary schools, 247 of both questionnaires were successfully administered and retrieved from private secondary schools and used for the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (means) to answer the research question posed by the study and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at .05 level of significance to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the extent of the management of home economics curriculum influences goals attainment in private secondary schools in terms of civic responsibility, National Consciousness and Cultural Value Orientation was high. The result of the hypothesis test revealed that the management of home economics curriculum significantly influences the attainment of Private Secondary School students’ civic responsibility, and their cultural value orientation at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the management of home economics curriculum in private secondary schools greatly influences their goals attainment. Government should refocus attention in encouraging private secondary schools to prioritize the development and effective management of home economics rather than only focusing on public secondary schools.
