Abstract

This study investigated the assessment of students’ retention rate in public junior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study specifically sought to examine the retention rate of the public junior secondary school students in Kwara State from 2013/14 to 2019/2020 based on gender, and investigate the retention rate of the public junior secondary school students in Kwara State from 2013/14 to 2019/2020 based on location. Two research questions were raised and answered to guide this study, while two hypotheses were formulated and tested at the 0.05 significance level. The study was a descriptive survey that adopted the correlational research design. The target population comprised all 230 public junior secondary schools in the 6 LGA selected from the three senatorial districts in Kwara State. The instrument for this study was the Students’ Flow Checklist (SFC). The data collected were analysed using the formula, standard progression method, rate method, and t-test. The findings revealed a significant difference in the retention rates of male and female students in Ilorin West and Asa LGA in public junior secondary schools in Kwara State. There was a considerable difference in the retention rates of students in Ilorin West LGA (Urban) and Asa LGA (Rural) in public junior secondary schools in Kwara State. It is recommended that retention rates in Kwara State’s public junior secondary schools be maintained by providing more classrooms, utilizing available resources, and ensuring effective teaching to achieve educational goals for all students.

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.
