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.
