Abstract

. Effective and efficient school budgets determine the extent of attaining school objectives. This study investigated principals' budget management practices: a predictor of public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State, Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to examine the level of principals' budget management practices in Kwara State, find out the level of public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State, Nigeria, establish the relationship between principals' budget planning and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State; investigate the relationship between principals' budget controlling and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State and examine the relationship between principals' budget monitoring and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive survey of correlational type. One hundred and ninety respondents were used for the study. Principals' Budget Management Practices and Public Junior Secondary School Performance Questionnaire (PBMPPJSSPQ) were used for data collection. Two research questions were raised and answered to guide the study's conduct using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages. Four research hypotheses were formulated and tested using inferential Pearson product-moment correlation statistics at a 0.05 significance level.  Findings showed that principals' budget management practices in budget planning, budgeting monitoring, and controlling would tremendously enhance and improve public junior secondary school performance in school effectiveness, discipline, sports and recreation and students' academic achievement. It was recommended that the Kwara State government involve school principals and teachers in the budget management practices, planning, and implementation. This will enable the school staff and heads to understand the educational budget allocation and ensure funds are spent judiciously.

Abstract

School group dynamics are critical factors influencing students' educational experiences and outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between school group dynamics and students' goal achievement in Universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions and five research hypotheses. The descriptive survey of the correlational type was adopted for the study. The population of this study comprised 77,984 undergraduates. A sample of 385 undergraduates was selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. A researcher-designed instrument titled School Group Dynamic and Students' Goal Achievement Questionnaire (SGDSGAQ) was utilised for data collection. A reliability test was conducted, yielding coefficient values of 0.89. Mean ratings were used to answer the research questions, while Pearson product-moment correlation statistic was employed to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. The findings of this study showed that school groups in Kwara State Universities are highly available, including social groups, academic groups, political groups, and cultural groups. Similarly, the study showed that students’ achievement goals in universities at Kwara State are high. The study also revealed a significant relationship between school group dynamics and students' goal achievement in Universities in Kwara State. It was recommended that universities enhance the organisation and visibility of these groups by establishing a formal framework for group registration, participation, and leadership. Universities should encourage multidisciplinary collaborations across different types of groups (social, educational, political, and cultural).
