CHAPTER ONE
Introduction and Background to the Study
Interest in the study of how resources
are allocated at variety of levels within educational system grew rapidly
during the 1970’s and 1980’s (Adeleke, 1994). According to Adeleke, the desire
to learn more about the internal allocation of resources for education has not
been limited to decentralization of the schooling systems such as in the
Otis (1997) states that in
The distribution and utilization of
education resources witness challenges such as how much resources are allocated
to various schools, how has the population of the schools commensurate with the
resources allocated to them. There is interest on what happens to the resources
allocated for distribution to various educational levels of primary, secondary
and tertiary institutions in
According to Obadina (1998), there is
the desire to learn more about what educational managers do with the resources
allocated to their schools. Also there is the desire to learn more about these
internal resources allocation.
According to Uzoma (1994), the budget
allocation for education is nothing to write home about, a situation where less
than 10 per cent of fiscal allocation is given to education, a sector that
requires enormous or huge expenditure. This has resulted in low salary
structure of teachers, lack of full remuneration by teachers and even the
standard of education in the country has been affected.
Another problem of allocation and
utilization of educational resources is the corrupt practices of the managers
of the resources and their lack of vision and misplaced priorities they give to
certain areas of education sector which ought not to be so.
Research examining inequalities within
schools is hardly new. Analysis such as Abel (1999), for years have been
concerned with the phenomena such as the tracking of students by academic
specialization or the grouping of students for instructional purposes.
According to them, there have been studies of high school tracking where
findings suggest that students assigned to the non-academic track are seriously
discriminated against. There has also been studies of instructional grouping
where the findings reveal substantial inequalities in the amount and character
of the instructional resources that are supplied (Breaben and Oakes, 1991).
This study among other things will
treat the availability, distribution and utilization of resources to various
levels in the state and federal government owned schools.
Statement
of the Problem

Purpose
of the Study
This study examines the distribution
and utilization of education resources in two state schools and two federal
government owned schools in
The specific objectives of this study
are:
1.
to determine whether education resources have been
distributed well in Nigerian schools.
2.
whether the resources allocated to schools are utilized
effectively by educational personnel.
3.
to compare and contrast between the allocation and
distribution of resources to both states and federal government owned schools.
4.
to examine the problem of ineffective distribution and
utilization of education resources in our schools.
Research
Questions
The following research questions will
be answered during the course of the study:
1.
Have education resources been well distributed in Nigerian
schools?
2.
To what extent is the resources allocated to schools
effectively utilized?
3.
Does the government allocate adequate resources to the
education sector in
4.
To what extent can we compare and contrast the allocation
and distribution of the resources in both the federal and the state owned
schools?
5.
What are the problems of resource allocation, distribution
and utilization in
Research
Hypotheses
The following hypotheses will be tested
in the course of the study:
1.
There is no significant relationship between allocation of
resources and educational standard in Nigerian secondary schools (both
2.
There is no significant relationship between distribution
and utilization of resources in schools.
Significance
of the Study
This study will
benefit teachers, principals and school authorities at both the state and the
federal levels of our schools system. For instance, teachers would find out
this beneficial because it will give them an insight on the low level of funds
and other resources allocated to educational sector. Also, the government
especially at the federal level will through this study understand that the
budgetary allocations given to education is inadequate and may have a change of
policy or a rethink on the issue of budgetary allocation to education in
Nigeria. the study will be an important reference material to new researchers
and students as well as the general public.
Scope
of the Study
The study
attempts to investigate the distribution and utilization of educational resources
in two state owned schools and two federal government owned schools in
Definition
of Terms
The following
operational terms have been defined as they will be used in this study:
1.
Distribution: This refers to
the way and manner in which educational materials (resources) are shared or
sent to various arms of our educational system to be utilized in order to
sustain growth and educational development.
2.
Utilization: This refers to
the usage of the shared educational resources for a practical purpose of
developing the entire school sector.
3.
Resources: This could be
human or material resources in education. It is the human or material resources
that are needed to enhance the growth and development of a country’s
educational system. Human resources are the personnel
(principals/teachers/other staff), while material resources are the funds and
other educational materials used in schools.
4. Allocation: This is an amount of money and or space that is given to a particular school for a specific purpose. This is the act of giving instructional material to a particular school for the aim of achieving desired goals or objectives.
