This is another major problem facing the
running of public education in Kaduna North Local. According to Oken (1985:16),
infrastructural facilities are referred to as classrooms, laboratories,
equipment, libraries, and workshops offices and so on. In addition, there are
instructional materials like radio, television, videotape, filmstrip and
printed materials. He noted that for an effective running of public education
in Kaduna North Local Government Area in Kaduna state of Nigeria, the
infrastructural facilities must be adequately provided.
The aims of school infrastructural facilities
are meant for effective teaching and learning. They are teachers’ trade tools
and institution where they lack infrastructural facilities, teaching and
learning becomes ineffective and undoubtfully cannot achieve its main
objectives. Every school needs wide range of educational equipment facilities
and all these should not only be of good quality but they should be enough and
available at all time in order that teaching and learning will be effective
(Ozizi 1977:71).
As Omoniyi (1980:12) pointed out, lack of
facilities will also hinder the effective teaching and learning process which
equally makes it difficult for the running of public education in Kaduna North
Local Government Area in Kaduna state of Nigeria.
Speaking of the importance of public
education, falodun (1985:4) stated that for the smooth running of public
education to be effectively achieved, necessary equipment have to be provided.
