MARTHA-ROSE IFEOMA UWAEZUOKE, O G AGABI

Abstract


The study investigated the assessment of educational resources of children for universal basic education in Njikoka local government area of Anambra state. The study was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. A sample size of 19 respondents was drawn from a population of 38 primary schools using random sampling technique. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The instrument for data collection was basic school access survey inventory educational instrument. The data for the study were collected from 19 respondents. The collected data were decoded and analysed using mean, percentage mean, standard deviation and Z-test statistics. The result of the study showed that access to universal basic education in terms of educational resources is either haphazardly provided or totally lacking. The hypotheses testing showed that there is no significant difference between the mean ratings of the experienced and less experienced head teachers of primary schools in all the variables tested. The researcher therefore recommended that educational resources should not only be made arbitrary available but also sufficiently provided and in functional state to make for practical and purposeful universal basic education for the betterment of not only the individual child but the entire Nigerian nation.
