FINANCIAL PROBLEMS RUNNING PUBLIC EDUCATION


  According to Mussaazi (1982:2005). Schools cannot function effectively without sufficient money. In this sense, he noted that money is needed for necessary and important things like textbooks, paying of staff salaries and maintenance of other services that are required by a school to carry out its function effectively as an educational institution no matter; how active the personnel in any organization are, they cannot live up its expectations or carry out its duties effectively without sufficient financial resources at its disposal. In any direction which one tends to look at it, money is needed for the smooth running of any organizational set up (Knoles 1970:49).


  However, education accounts for a good proposition of the state and the Federal Government budgets, the more the educational system expands at all levels, the more the expenditure on education continue to arise. As Nwaogu (1980:160) declared finance is the live wire of effective school administration. He subsequently noted that if there are no sufficient funds to train teachers academically and professionally to enable them teach effectively and efficiently resources are essentially responsible for the smooth running of public education. even in the national policy on education (1977:86) financing of education is seen as necessary for providing adequate and balanced educational program.

  The concern bared is to make education free at all levels this implies that the various government s: the federal, state, and the local government will continue to share responsibilities for financing education in effect, the prospect of running education demands on setting a realistic target of expansion keeping in mind the resources available so that balance is got between educational system results on the hand and the cost of achieving them on the other side (Ezeoma 1997:60) therfore it is imporatnt to note that lack of finance is a major education problem which relates to planning, programming, and budgeting in any institution, adequate financing of education programme could result to the prospect of running public education in Kaduna North Local Government Area in Kaduna state of Nigeria.
