The concepts of
urbanization are a continuous process and educational institutions an over the
world share the effect of this process. The same is true of Edaiken Primary
School in the heart of Benn City. Since the recent years the tempo of
urbanization has been on the increase throughout the world including Benin
City. Consequently, the population of Edaiken Primary School has also continued
to rise. At present, there are as many as population of ten thousand pupils.
This phenomenon has given rise to a situation where the existing facilities are
overstressed. In effect, urbanization process has led to inadequate learning
facilities. This project examined the above variables with a view to highlighting
the impact of urbanization on the teaching learning process in Edaiken Primary
School. The methodology involved the use of primary and secondary school
sources, data from library research questionnaire, personal observation and

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The new encyclopedia volume defined the term urbanization as the process by
which a population becomes concentrated in city or urban places. The terms may
sometimes refer to the consequences of living in urban places. On the other
hand, infrastructural development may refer to the development of basic
framework necessary for the successful operation of a system infrastructural
development as it relates to education is the necessary infrastructural
materials or basic framework required for effective and worthwhile learning.
Rapid urban development has taken place in Nigeria in recent times. The country
has also experienced the most rapid rates of urban population growth the
consequence of this growth is the clamour for social amenities, many people
regard education, which on the economic, social, political and technical
development of a country is built. The last decade witnesses a rapid expansion
in primary and secondary education in the country. The introduction of free
primary education in some parts of the country and the launching of universal
free primary education in 1979 resulted in the increase of the various state
government have been grappling with the provision of the necessary
infrastructure such as school building, teaching staff, teaching aids, seats,
play ground, scientific equipment etc. the introduction of the new national
policy on education has o doubt reduced the problem providing the necessary
infrastructure.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
There is a growing concern about the lack of essential equipment and facilities
and other basic infrastructure in our primary and secondary schools, such
infrastructure includes well-equipped libraries, laboratories and good
classrooms with seats, toilet facilities and playground etc. many people
believe that the phenomenon and its attendants problems are the consequences of
other factors such as the rapid growth of primary school population. Much as
the school population has grown tremendously since the declaration of universal
free primary education in the state and universal basic education, the problems
of infrastructural development in Edaiken primary school is also attributable
to;
1. Poor planning as a result of lack of accurate
statistics.
2. Inadequate financial provision on the part of education
authority.
3. Little or no support to the school on the part
of parents/teachers association.
4. Poor maintenance culture.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
1. To identify some of the basic infrastructure
lacking in Edaiken primary school, Benin City.
2. To identify some of the problems inhibiting the
development of infrastructure in the school.
3. To examine the effects of the lack of
infrastructure in the school on pupils and teachers respectively.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
There is a general impression that the standard of education in the state
running from primary through the secondary to the university level is falling
especially with the introduction of the 6-3-3-4 system of education. Many
people have blamed the problem of the falling standard among other things on
the inadequate provision of infrastructure in the school which they regard as
basic to the successful implementation, and success of the system. They also
believe that our educational system needs more of the content of occupational practices
and apprentices rather than more theory. A nation can achieve very little
technological without the tools of expertise and know-how. Expertise and
know-how come from practical education practical education depends to a very
large extent on the provision of the necessary infrastructure and well trained
staff.
I share this view and believe that the provision of adequate and necessary
infrastructure in our primary is important if our system of education is not
going to continue to be theoretically and practically oriented. The need to
improve on the present of primary school population. Much as the school
population has grown tremendously since the declaration of universal free
primary education in the stat and universal basic education, the problems of
infrastructural development in Edaiken primary school is also attributable to;
1. Poor planning as a result of lack of accur5ate
statistics.
2. Inadequate financial provision on the part of
education authority
3. Little or no support to the school on the part
of parents./teachers association.
4. Poor maintenance culture.
