Background of the Study
Budget allocation plays a critical role in determining the quality of education in public secondary schools. Adequate funding ensures access to resources, infrastructure, and qualified personnel, all of which are essential for improving students' academic performance. In Ogun State, government expenditure on education has been a topic of interest due to its implications for the state’s overall development (Adeyemi & Oladipo, 2023).
Public secondary schools in Ogun State face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient teaching materials, and overcrowded classrooms. This study investigates how budget allocation influences school performance, focusing on key indicators such as examination results, teacher performance, and student engagement.
