INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Education is considered as the most important instrument for change and natural development. However, of all the problems facing Nigeria education system today, none is more agonizing and persistent as the poor academic performance of the students especially of secondary school at the external examination conducted by West African examination council (WAEC) and national examination council (NECO).
Borisade (2012) described the failure observed in public examination as: a symptom of pervasive national failure syndrome. It would seem as it failure has bee stamped on every facet of our national Endeavour. One should then not be surprise if student performed poorly because they have become dischanted with academics and disillusion with the acquisition of unprofitable academic certificates.
The perennial failure at public examination in light of above assertion could be part of societal failure. A society that shuns academics and worship mediocrity and materialism will undoubtedly reduce the premium attached to academic certificates.
A cursory look at our environment reveals that the Nigerian society has changed considerably within the past two decades. It is also evident that the youths are changing just as the society is changing just as the society is changing. The school system is both a product and reflection of the entire society.
Students’ learning can be evaluated in many different ways, but in a developing country like Nigeria where about 40 percent of the adult populations are illiterates, parents use the performance of the children in public examinations to pass judgment on the schools and teachers. To them the logic is a simple one. The schools are supposed to be stated by good teachers and supplied adequate facilities and instructional materials.
It is the responsibility of Government to ensure through such provisions and regular inspection or supervision that effective teaching and learning go on in the school. The task of parent is to send their children to school and pay whatever fees and levies charged by the institutions.
Through many parents acknowledge shortage of funds, teacher and infrastructures in the schools and their own inability to buy all required books and other learning materials for their wards, yet they strongly believe that if the students perform badly in their examinations, the teacher and administrators have not done their job well and should take most of the blame.
Materials such as radio, tape recorder, television and video tape recorder. other category of material resources consist of paper supplies and writing materials such as biro, eraser, exercise books, crayon, chalk, drawing books, notebooks, pencil, ruler, slate, workbooks and so on. Physical resources include classrooms, lecture theaters, auditoriums typing pools, administrative block, libraries, laboratories, workshops, gymnasia and assembly halls, special rooms like sickbay, staff room quarters, students’ hostel, kitchen, cafeteria, lavatory and toilet.
Financial resources are the monetary inputs available for and expended on the education system, these include money allocated to education by the government grants, PTA levy, and donations from philanthropists and internally generated funds.
Academic performance of secondary school students also depends largely on adequate provision of all the resources. The resources which should normally go along with the program, are inadequate, even the quantity that is made available is not efficiently allocated. This study is specially set out to ascertain the extent to which human, physical, material and financial resources are being allocated. To find a solution to these problems that has become the subject of considerable national concern. It is expedient that we should examine the factors responsible for the problem either empirically or in some logical manner.
1.2 Statement of the problem
It has been observed the most public secondary school in Ilorin west LGA, Kwara state, usually record mass failure in the senior secondary school certificate Examination. Performance in public examination seems to be one of the major parameters by which society judges the products of its educational system.
In the light of this assertion, Nigeria has not fared well in her attempt years now, has characterized now only by poor academic performance of alarming proportions but also by a growing increase in society’s disappointment and discontentment in the delivery and products of secondary education. The inadequate and lopsided distribution of resources combined with inefficient allocation of those resources to undermine the productivity of secondary education.
This observed poor performance motivated the researchers to conduct an investigation on the observed problem and find out the relationship that exists between educational resources and students’ academic performance in the selected schools
However, the study specifically sought answers to the following questions -:
