“…The finding agrees with some earlier studies that the availability of school facilities is related to students' motivation (Sidi, 2019) and learning outcomes (Arshad et al, 2018;Takwate, 2018). The findings of this study also align with an earlier study which documents an important link between administrative expenditures and students' learning outcomes (Strickland, 2021). Moreover, an earlier study also documented that school curricula changed students' attitudes (Cantoni et al, 2017).…”

“…A case was also presented by the finding of Gigliotti and Sorensen (2018) that sustained financial investment in schools was crucial for districts to maintain quality public education. Even though school financing and administrative expenditures are important predictors of students' learning outcomes (Bruce et al, 2019;Strickland, 2021), the link is known for the cognitive aspect of students' learning outcomes. There seems to be no existing study connecting principals' administrative expenses to students' affective and psychomotor learning outcomes.…”

Previous research has assessed school facilities, administrative expenditures and curriculum and their relative contributions to students' cognitive learning outcomes. This suggested the need to investigate further how these predictors may impact students' affective and psychomotor outcomes. The current research studied the combined and relative prediction of school facilities, administrative expenses and curriculum on students' overall cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning outcomes in public secondary schools. A cross-sectional research design was employed in this study, involving 87 school administrators and a randomly selected group of 915 senior secondary class II (SS2) students. For data collection, we utilised the School Inputs Questionnaire (SIQ) and Educational Outcomes Questionnaire (EOQ), both developed by the researchers and validated through expert assessments, including content validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for dimensionality, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for goodness of fit, and reliability using Cronbach's alpha. The results of these assessments demonstrated acceptable outcomes aligned with international standards. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to analyse the collected data. The findings indicated that enhancing the provision of quality school facilities, administrative expenses, and school curricula improved students' overall cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. Specifically, administrative expenses and school curriculum had significant predictive power for students' overall cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. However, while school facilities significantly predicted students' overall, affective, and psychomotor dimensions, they did not significantly predict the cognitive dimension. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance the educational quality in public secondary schools.

“…All stakeholders are concerned about why the system is turning out students with poor results. Authors (Ogunsaju, 2004;Owoeye and Olatunde, 2011;Bertoni et al, 2017;Taylor et al, 2017;Ibrahim et al, 2017;Suleiman et al, 2019) states that the academic standard in all Nigerian educational institutions has fallen considerably below societal expectations. Blumende (2001) corroborated this view when he reported that the decline in the quality of education could not be ignored by anyone aware of the significant role of education as an instrument of societal transformation and development.…”

Secondary school as a gateway for the development of other sectors of the educational system provides primary school leavers with the opportunity for qualitative education, the platform for skills and knowledge for vocational work, or higher institutions admission. In Nigeria, public discussions frequently focus on educational standards. This study aims to examine the influence of students' reading habits on students' academic performance. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The schools in Ibadan North LGA were randomly selected, making a total of five schools. Each of the participants was randomly selected, totaling 300 students. There was a significant positive relationship between student reading habits and student academic performance (r = 0.84). At F=1.31, there is no significant difference in the reading habit of male and female students. Reading habit enhances the academic performance of students. Therefore, students should be encouraged to inculcate in them the reading habit by providing enabling environment and infrastructures that will stimulate students to read.
