- Effect of Inadequate School Plant on Academic Performance of Nigerian Secondary School Students
Abstract:
The Nigerian education system is grappling with a
plethora of problems which seem to defy solution over the years,
chief among such problems is gross inadequacy in quality of facilities
available to students in Nigerian secondary schools, and the
haphazard citing of such schools occasionally in places that are not
easily accessible or even places that are susceptible to ambient noise
interference. The foregoing situation has had its backlash effects on
academic performance of students as evidenced by dwindling
academic performance. It has also culminated in an emerging trend of
parental [reference for schools, however these private schools and
most parents can hardly afford the extravagant fees they charge.
Therefore the thrust of this paper is to identify causes of inadequate
school plant in Nigerian secondary schools proffer solution such as:
increased government subvention payable to schools; renovation of
all school buildings by government; and provision of adequate IT
facilities among other government interventions .
