In doing this, two research questions guided the study with a descriptive research design survey adopted while a structured questionnaire titled Impact of Emerging Technologies and Innovations in the Management of Secondary Education for Societal Reengineering (IETIMSESORE) was used as instrument for data collection. Two hundred respondents were randomly selected across Secondary School in Ebonyi State. Statistical mean and standard deviation was used to analyse the data. A modified 4-point rating scale was used to identify the degrees of respondents. The findings revealed that principals’ adoption and application of emerging technologies and innovations in the management of secondary education have a significant influence on societal reengineering in Ebonyi State. It was recommended that the Federal Ministry of Education ensure adequate provision of funds and technological devices for the quality management of secondary education across the nation. The State Ministry of Education should ensure the provision of emerging technologies and innovations, such as laptops, CBT facilities, websites, and an e-learning platform, to principals for the effective management and instruction of secondary education for societal reengineering in Ebonyi State. The Secondary Education Board should ensure the dissemination of information and the training and retraining of secondary school principals in the use of emerging technologies and innovations for the quality management of schools.
