Abstract
This study set out to examine the influence of Educational resources provision, and utilization on students’ academic performance in public and private secondary schools in Surulere Local Education Area of Lagos State. The sample consisted of eight school principals, 80 secondary school teachers an 80 secondary school students selected through simple random sampling technique. The research instrument titled “Educational Resources and Students’ Performance Questionnaire” (ERSPQ) was developed. To guide the study, five null hypotheses were postulated and statistically tested using the t-test and the Pearson product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The following findings emerged from the study: There was a significant difference in the provision and utilization of physical, material resources and utilization of human resources in public and private secondary schools sampled; availability of educational resources has strong positive relationship with students’ academic performance; availability of human resources has significant relationship with students’ academic performance in private secondary schools but not in the public secondary schools; There is a significant difference between the performances of students of public and private secondary schools in the three core subjects (English language, mathematics and Biology) in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE); students of private secondary schools who were exposed to environment rich in educational resources recorded a very high performance rate while students of public secondary schools who are exposed to environment less endowed with educational resources recorded very low performance rate. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made to government, school administrators, parents, teachers and students that could help to improve students’ academic performances especially in our public secondary schools.
