• Adequacy and Utilization of Physical Resources: Implications for Effective Teaching and Learning (2026) · OIDA International Journal of Sustainable Development · doi

  Here are four main recommendations: 1. The government should start a fund to improve physical resources in public secondary schools in Delta State, focusing on the schools that need help the most. Regular checks should be done to ensure the funds are being used properly for building and maintenance. 2. Education officials need to create a fair plan for distributing resources that addresses the gap between urban and rural schools. This plan should provide extra support for rural schools and set basic standards that all schools must meet. 3. The Ministry of Education should implement training for school leaders and teachers on managing and using resources well. This could include workshops, sharing success stories, and creating guidelines that fit both urban and rural environments. 4. There should be collaboration among the government, businesses, and local communities to improve and maintain resources in public schools. This means partnering with private companies, involving the community in resource management, and ensuring a solid plan for keeping everything in good shape for learning.

• Influence of Resource Allocation on the Performance of Public Secondary Schools in Meru County, Kenya (2026) · Journal of Education · doi

  Public secondary schools should prioritize strengthening resource allocation systems by enhancing financial planning, staffing adequacy, infrastructural development, and equitable distribution of instructional resources. School administrators and Boards of Management should ensure that available resources align with institutional priorities and the needs of curriculum implementation to improve academic and operational performance outcomes. The Ministry of Education and county education authorities should further improve the timeliness of capitation disbursements and strengthen monitoring mechanisms to ensure the efficient use of educational resources. In addition, schools should establish effective budgeting, accountability, and resource management systems that support continuous improvement in teaching, learning, and institutional effectiveness.
