Abstract

The study investigated sanitary facilities maintenance and headteachers’ effectiveness in public primary schools in Edo South Senatorial district. Two research questions and one hypothesis were raised for the study. This study is a descriptive survey that adopted the correlational research design. The target population of the study was comprised of 564 Headteachers in 564 public primary schools in Edo South Senatorial District. The sample size of the study was 56 Headteachers representing 10% of the population. Three teachers per school were purposively selected to rate the Headteachers’ effectiveness, making a total of 168 teachers. A checklist and questionnaire were used to collect data for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. The null hypothesis was tested using the Pearson Product Moment Coefficient statistics at alpha level of 0.05. The findings of this study revealed that the level of sanitary facilities maintenance and headteachers’ effectiveness in Public Primary Schools in Edo South Senatorial District is high and there is a significant relationship between sanitary facilities maintenance and Headteachers effectiveness. It was therefore recommended that the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) should monitor sanitary facilities in the school to ensure that the high level of maintenance of the facilities is sustained, organise periodic seminars for Headteachers on school sanitation and maintenance of sanitary facilities as well as give priority to headteachers’ effectiveness in maintaining school facilities before appointment.
