Abstract

The study evaluated the adequacy of educational resources for quality school administration and teaching in the Ebonyi State secondary school system. Description survey design with a population of 4,360 in 225 public secondary schools was used for the study. The instrument was validated by management experts while the reliability was 0.78 using Cronbach Alpha. Four (4) research questions guided the study. The responses to the questionnaire were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. A criterion mean of 2.50 was set as a decision rule. Any mean score (s) of 2.50 and above indicated that educational resources are adequate while scores below the benchmark indicate that resources are inadequate. The result revealed that educational resources are grossly inadequate for quality secondary school administration and teaching in Ebonyi State. It was therefore recommended that school administrators should synergize with Parents Teachers Association (PTAs) and other stakeholders to engage additional teaching staff and also to assist in the provision of funds and other educational facilities to supplement government effort in making school administration and teaching more effective.
