Management of Learning Resources in Junior High Schools in Ghana

Abstract

This research is descriptive in nature. The main purpose was to find out the availability, adequacy and state of learning resources in the Junior High Schools (JHSs) in the Mfantseman Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The research design selected was partly qualitative (observation) and partly quantitative (questionnaire). In all 222 teachers and 73 head teachers were randomly selected to participate in this study. However, 202 teachers and 70 headteachers provided usable data for the study. The main findings were that available learning resources in most of the schools but were inadequate. School buildings, furniture, science equipment, textbooks and exercise books were in state of disrepair.  It was therefore concluded that more learning resources should be supplied to schools to help eliminate the inadequacies in the schools. Both teachers and head teachers should constantly inspect and ensure effective use of learning resources in the schools.
