CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Educationist
and other well-meaning people have always maintained that education is the
greatest legacy a nation can be give to the citizens. There is therefore no
better investment a nation, could make than in education, this is why one
should not remain indifferent to the lapse ion our educational system. A good
school facility support the educational enterprises. Research has shown that
clean air, good light and a small, quite, comfortable, and safe learning
environment are important for academic achievement (see, for example, Cotton,
2001, Schneider, 2002).
While
factors such as student socio-economic status and parental involvement are
among the most important predictors of student academic performance of a school
building district and state hence improving school facilities offers a feasible
opportunity for improving academic performance. This has brought with it
attendant problem such as inadequate school facilities and consequently poor
academic performance on students. Okeke (2009), acknowledged this situation,
when he asserted that with expansion of secondary schools Nigeria, there has
been a general have and cry about the falling standard of education in the
country as a whole. Over the years, the performance of students has fallen in
examination. This is to say that the academic performance of most students were
very poor. To achieve these goals a lot needs to be done in the academic
performance of school system. To students academic performance appear to have
been affected by a myriad of factors. These factors include school facilities
(Anchurian and Steward 2006).
School
facilities play a vital role in the actualization of educational goals and
objectives by satisfying the physical and emotional needs of the staffs and
students of the school. Henceforth, school facilities can be briefly regarded
to as the items which makes teaching and learning possible in a school. In
other words, school facilities can be referred to as the human and physical
resources that are needed or used in the school in order to aid learning and
teaching. by human resources we mean the personnel’s employed in the school to
ensure learning. They include the principal, the headmasters, the teachers and
administrative staff etc. the human
resources can also be seen as the greatest and most useful facilities a school
can ever have, the reason being that no matter how a school is physically
facilitated if there are no human resources in it, there can be no learning,
invariably there will be no school, while physical resources can be seen as
those materials which can give help support or comfort to the school
organization country or an individual for example, the building, the library,
chairs textbooks, classroom, chalkboard, sporting fields environment etc.
additionally, according to Knezevich (1975) he emphasized that the physical
needs are met through provision of safe structure, adequate sanitary
facilities, be balanced visual environment, appropriate thermal environment,
and sufficient shelter space for his work and play. His emotional needs are met
by creating pleasant surroundings, a friendly atmosphere and an inspiring
environment.
