Abstract

The research examined how parent-teacher associations provide physical infrastructure and how secondary schools in Sagbama LGA of Bayelsa State are managed. The study used correlational survey research. The survey included 1596 parents and teachers from ten public secondary schools in Sagbama LGA, Bayelsa State, during the 2020/2021 academic year. The research included 638 parents and teachers (40%) of the population recruited using proportional stratified random selection. A 10-item Parent Teachers' Association Provision of Physical Facilities and Effective Management of Secondary Schools Questionnaire (PTAPPFMSSQ) was used to gather data. The research supervisor and two measurement and evaluation specialists from the department of educational foundations, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, validated the instrument. The reliability coefficients of the instrument internal consistencies were calculated using Cronbach's Alpha. Parent-teacher association supply of physical facilities and secondary school administration had dependability coefficients of.760 and.750, respectively. SPSS version 26 was used to analyse the data using model summary of basic regression analysis and PPMC analysis for the research question and hypothesis. The research found that PTA-provided physical amenities improve secondary school administration. According to the conclusion, parents' teachers associations should continue to provide physical facilities to schools since they may improve secondary school administration.
