School Facilities Utilization and Maintenance

This book presents the utilization and maintenance of school facilities for quality education delivery. Facilities found in the educational institutions are designed to aid the attainment of educational objectives and goals. Educational facilities are infrastructural facilities in education which enable a skillful teacher to achieve a level of instructional effectiveness that far exceeds what is possible when they are not provided. The relevance of each facility influences its classification. The value of facilities in education becomes attainable when viewed in terms of their adequacy to programmes they were designed for. This means that facilities must satisfy both qualitative and quantitative educational programmes, which will aid the school to function well. The need for availability of educational facilities in the institutions of learning is indispensable to teaching and learning. Teachers and students perform creditably when facilities are available in the schools. A well equipped laboratory, library, classrooms, staff offices, teaching aids and comfortable environment are prerequisite to quality education delivery.
