Abstract
This study assesses the availability of school plants for the implementation of educational programmes in secondary schools in Nasarawa state. Despite the abundance and proliferation of various school plants, study by Asiyai (2012) and Odufowokan (2011) revealed that there is increase in enrolment in schools without commensurate expansion of school plants. However, the assessment and rationale for the low level of provision of school plant facilities approach are not known. The aim of the study was, therefore, to assess the extent of availability of school plants with a view to enhancing provision of school plants for the implementation of educational programs in secondary schools. The study utilized a descriptive survey research design. Stratified simple random sampling techniques were used to sample four hundred and ten (410) principals and teachers from the population of one thousand one hundred and twenty (1,120) principals and teachers. One hundred and ten (110) principals and three hundred (300) teachers were selected from one hundred and eighty one (181) secondary schools in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Data were collected using a four point Liker structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean scores and t-test. The findings showed that provision of school plants for effective implementation of educational programs in secondary schools in Nasarawa state were to a low extent (average mean=2.02). Only classroom were provided at high extent (Principal mean=2.74 and Teacher mean= 3.08). Based on these findings, it was recommended that government should make available school plants to a large extent; relevant school plants should be supplied to schools at the right time to enhance effective implementation of educational programmes in secondary schools and to enhance quality performance.
