<![CDATA[Effective management of educational resources is critical for ensuring that secondary schools achieve their goals, as it provides students and teachers with access to relevant, up-to-date, and well-organized learning materials. In light of this, the study investigated the management of educational resources for effective secondary school goals attainment in public secondary schools within Calabar Municipality, Cross River State. Specifically, the study focused on the management of digital resources and material resources. Two null hypotheses guided the research. A review of relevant literature was conducted, both conceptually and empirically, to provide a foundation for understanding the sub-variables of the study. The research adopted a correlational survey design, targeting a population of 70 principals and vice-principals across all 18 public secondary schools in the municipality, employing a census sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, the Management of Educational Resources and Secondary School Goals Attainment Questionnaire (MERSSGAQ), designed on a four-point Likert scale ranging from Strongly Agree (SA) to Strongly Disagree (SD). The instrument was validated by experts in Measurement and Evaluation from the University of Calabar. Hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings revealed significant positive relationships between the management of both digital and material resources and the attainment of secondary school goals. The study concluded that effective management of educational resources is pivotal for school success. It is recommended that government and educational authorities provide regular training for principals, teachers, and support staff on resource management, including digital literacy and maintenance practices, to optimize the use of available resources and enhance the overall performance of secondary schools.]]>
