英文文献摘要:
This study focused on the current maintenance condition of Public Secondary Schools in Rivers State that were built in the 1970’s, factors responsible for their poor state of disrepair and measures undertaken in the past to maintain or improve the public schools infrastructure. To achieve the objectives of this study, 120 questionnaires were designed and 78 were retrieved to collect data from 6(six) public schools out of 58 public secondary schools in Rivers State. The field survey comprised officials from the Department of Education, school teachers, principals and parents of students. The data was analysed with descriptive statistics. The study discovered that there are multiple factors that led to the dilapidation of public schools infrastructure. The major factors includes vandalism, overcrowding, neglect, lack of maintenance, incompetent contractors, lack of security, inadequate government intervention, inadequate funds allocated to schools for maintenance works, deferred maintenance, mismanagement of funds, and no sense of ownership by users, teachers, parents and community members. The study proposed a multi stakeholder framework for the proper maintenance of public schools infrastructure. The study recommended that the government should adopt appropriate maintenance strategy to improve the schools and achieve educational sustainability.
本研究的重点是河流州建于20世纪70年代的公立中学的当前维护状况,造成这些学校年老失修状况的因素以及过去为维护或改善公立学校基础设施而采取的措施。为了达到本研究的目的,本研究设计了120份问卷,回收了78份问卷,收集了河州58所公立中学中的6所公立学校的数据。实地调查由教育部官员、学校教师、校长和学生家长组成。资料采用描述性统计分析。研究发现,导致公立学校基础设施年久失修的因素有多种。主要原因有:故意破坏、人满为患、无人照管、缺乏维护、承包商能力不足、缺乏安全保障、政府干预不足、分配给学校的维修工程经费不足、拖延维修、资金管理不善、使用者、教师、家长和社区成员没有主人权意识。该研究提出了一个多方利益相关者框架来妥善维护公立学校的基础设施。研究建议院舍应采取适当的维修策略,以改善学校,实现教育的可持续发展。
