Analysis of Education Trust Fund Budget Allocation to Secondary Schools Classroom Construction in Oyo State, Nigeria (1999-2004).

Abstract

This paper examine the impact of Education trust Fund (ETF) Classrooms construction projects on education performance of selected secondary school students in Oyo State of Nigeria. The scale to determine the inter-relationship existing between classroom expansions arising from ETF allocated fund, student population density and academic performance. Using the simple analysis techniques and working at 95% confidence limit, an extrapolation was made of the possible statistical linear and non linear relationships existing between the above stated other variables. The results showed co-efficient of determination of 0.53% 0.94%, 91.82% and 91.82% for linear, logarithmic, quadratic and cubic models respectively. This suggests that the impact of the Education Trust Fund classrooms construction project on the academic performance of students is not a linear relationship but non linear. It is therefore, suggested that the effort of the ETF should be doubled or tripled if its impact would be felt.
