Abstract

The primary goal of the study was to determine how much of Enugu State’s secondary schools were under the supervision of the school-Based Management Committee (SBMC). The necessary data were collected from the respondents using two research questions. The inquiry started with the creation of two null hypotheses and was conducted using descriptive survey methodology. All of the secondary school principals from the six government-owned education zones in Enugu State who were chosen from the Executive Members of SBMC at each institution, as well as all of the PA Executives from each of the six education zones, participated in the study. The communities of the 314 schools were represented by a total of 314 principals and 1,435 parents Association (PA) members. Three experts in the field validated the questionnaire. Two of the professionals came from the Department of Educational Management, while the third came from the Measurement and Evaluation division of the Department of Science and Computer Education. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was calculated using the Cronbach Alpha formula. The instrument’s strong reliability was proven by the alpha value, which was found to be 0.86. The study’s issues were addressed using mean scores and standard deviation, and the hypotheses were assessed using the t-test statistic at the 0.05 level of significance. The major findings of the study revealed broad consensus regarding the degree of SBMC engagement in the funding of secondary schools in Enugu State. It was proposed that executives of the parents’ organization and school administrators take into account fresh ways to pay for the institution’s necessities.
