Background of the Study
Financial planning is a critical aspect of educational management, providing a structured approach to allocating resources efficiently and ensuring that financial goals align with educational objectives. In Bauchi State, public schools face challenges related to inadequate funding, mismanagement of resources, and the inability to meet the demands of a growing student population. Effective financial planning can play a pivotal role in overcoming these challenges by ensuring that available resources are used effectively to improve educational quality (Adamu & Sani, 2023).
Financial planning involves the strategic allocation of funds for key areas such as curriculum development, teacher training, infrastructure improvement, and educational technology. In Bauchi State, many schools lack effective financial planning, leading to poor resource utilization and substandard educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the role of financial planning in improving the quality of education in Bauchi State, focusing on how sound financial planning practices can enhance the delivery of education and foster sustainable growth in the education sector.
