the policy highlighted the role of the three, tiers of government in the
financing of education, such as provision of fund for the building of
classroom block, laboratory equipment, payment of teachers salary by the
tiers under which the institutions belongs to. But the government has
failed to involve private and non-governmental especially now that
present economic down turn, arising from the global economic recession
could no longer permit government to fully meet its financial obligation
to education sector. If formal education must achieve its laudable
goals and objectives as entrenched in the National Policy on Education,
its priorities such as funding by the government and participation by
the private sector have to be addressed.
Appraisal of the role of
Ministry of Education towards funding is an attempt to evaluate the
extent to which Ministry of Education existing in the communities meet
up with their funding obligations to public secondary schoolsschools,
putting into consideration certain bench marks for Ministry of Education
participations in the financing of public secondary schoolsschools in
the area in which they exist.
According to corporate affairs
commission report (2008), contends that “in order to promote school,
community relationship, private organizations existing in the
communities should directly or indirectly participate in the funding of
public schools in the area in which they exist.
Therefore, the
following forms the bench mark for evaluation of nongovernmental
organization participation in the funding of public secondary
schoolsschools.
1. Donations for the development of school plants
2. Donations for award of scholarship
3. Provision for endowment fund.
4. Staff welfare and development
5. Provision of funds for purchase of stationeries.

exist in the communities which are not owned by the government such as
Christian Association of Nigeria, Rotary Club
International, Development Association, like town union, Alumni
Association
and market women Associations in educational financing in Nigeria and
which has put the major thrust of provision of formal education on
government has been confirmed by Jaiyeoba and Atanada (2004) and
Okunamiri (2007). These researchers observed that poor funding of
schools and inadequate provision of resources to cope with the
ever-increasing demand for educational provision have led to inadequate
provision of facilities for effective teaching and learning and thus
hinders achievement of educational objectives.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Funding
of formal education in Nigeria has been a topical issue due to the
present bleak in economy arising from the global inflationary trend and
economic down turn. Inspite of the efforts of the different governments
of the federation to provide funds for education, educational
institutions still lack the necessary funds to implement various
programmes.
The problem of this study emanated from various
inadequacies associated with the Nigerian educational system,
inadequacies in terms of teaching and learning facilities, school
plants, nonpayment of teachers salaries, modern technologies,
uncondusive learning environment. This thus, arouses the interest of the
researcher to investigate the extent to which different sources of
income are used for the development of secondary schools school in Yola
metropolis.
Therefore, the problem of this study is to evaluate the
extent to which different economic agent sources of income are used for
the development of.
