Background of the Study
Financial literacy is a critical skill for school administrators to ensure the effective and efficient management of educational resources. In Ebonyi State, as in many other parts of Nigeria, school administrators often face the challenge of managing limited financial resources while striving to maintain quality education. Financial literacy, which includes knowledge of budgeting, financial planning, resource allocation, and reporting, plays a crucial role in ensuring that educational funds are used optimally. Despite the importance of financial literacy, many school administrators in Ebonyi State have limited training and knowledge in this area, which may contribute to poor financial management and hinder the development of quality education.
This study aims to examine the level of financial literacy among school administrators in Ebonyi State. It seeks to understand how financial knowledge (or the lack thereof) impacts the management of resources in schools, and how improving financial literacy could enhance the overall effectiveness of school administration in the state.
Statement of the Problem
In Ebonyi State, many school administrators lack the necessary financial management skills to efficiently allocate and use the resources at their disposal. As a result, educational institutions often face challenges such as insufficient funding for essential activities, poor budget management, and financial misreporting. This problem is exacerbated by the lack of comprehensive financial literacy programs for administrators. Consequently, this study will explore the level of financial literacy among school administrators in Ebonyi State and how this affects their ability to manage school resources effectively.
