Abstract:

School plant maintenance is an integral part of the overall functions of the school administrators. Actualization of the pre-determined objectives of education, require the supply, efficient and effective utilization and appropriate maintenance of various school plants. In recent time efforts in diverse ways made by government and individuals to encourage school plant maintenance have been on upgrading of facilities and employing specialists to oversee them. The aforementioned efforts are yet to yield good positive results in plant maintenance, because there are no good facilities in schools to encourage teachers and learners. Further more, the introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) necessitate that the school administrators evolve modern strategies for school plants maintenance. It improves the quality of teaching and learning. This paper describes maintenance of school plants, the procedures for school plant maintenance and types of school plant maintenance. The paper reveals that school plants influence teaching and learning process, that the services rendered by them is positively related to productivity and outcomes of students’ learning experiences among others. It recommended that there is need to supply adequate computer soft wares by the three-tiers of government and philanthropists to ensure proactive maintenance culture and there is need to step up the institutional capacity building of school administrators on school plant maintenance by organizing professional training through workshops, seminars, to mention but a few.
