SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE AND EFFECTIVE TEACHING LEARNING IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL (EDUCATION PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS)
ABSTRACT
This is based on the school infrastructure and effective teaching leaning in public primary school in Abeokuta South Local Government Area. Simple random sampling techniques and used in selecting the schools and respondents for the study. The participants consisted of 20 teachers in each school and it is made up of 100 teachers. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A questionnaire titled “School Infrastructure and Effective Teaching Learning in Public Primary School” (SIETLPPS) was prepared had used to collect data for the study. The data so collected through the questionnaire were analysed using Pearson product moment correlation co-efficient to test the hypothesis. It was suggested among others that a specific percentage of educational budget should be made available for provision and maintenance of the school infrastructure.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
The fast depreciating rate of primary school buildings in Nigeria is of grave concern to stakeholders in Education. Most of the schools building are in terrible state of despair because of poor maintain our public structures and facilities until they have completely collapsed and devasted. This scenario is however not peculiar to primary school buildings and infrastructure but also applicable to Nigerian roads, government vehicles, public buildings and government industries. There are obvious non-maintenance and careless use of public utilities.
The future of any society very must depend upon the quality of its youths. As such, many writers have emphasized the needs for proper child up bring. Muklerjee (1978) said and I quote “proper home, care in rearing children during early days (primary school age) after birth may lead to the desired behaviour in their personality. The home is dwelling place where children are brought up by the family. It is also a place where the child’s earliest education or socialization usually beings and hence, served as the first instructional materials. For the child education in the other hand to many educators is a process by which people abilities and talents are developed.
The above presents a commenting position of most of the Nation’s Primary Schools. In some schools roots are blows off, walls are dilapidated and furniture items are poor and grossly inadequate. Some school buildings have been built about four (4) decade ago. Whereas, the depreciation of school physical structure and infrastructures depends on various factors as the quality of the original construction and materials, and quality of maintenances to accommodate effective teaching learning in public primary schools. Some building have life span of about fifty (50) years whereas, some can function effectively for not more than ten (10) years.
