ABSTRACT
This
study determined the relationship between the adequacy of resources and the
management of universal basic education in Abia state. The study adopted a
correlational survey research design. The sample of the study comprised 400
respondents which was made up of 23 head teachers and 377 teachers drawn from
the population of 1,037 (consisting of 60 head teachers and 977 teachers in
Abia state). The sample size was determined using the Taro Yamane sampling
formula while the sampling technique adopted was a multi-staged sampling
procedure. The instruments for data collection were a 38-item Researcher
developed questionnaire titled Adequacy of Resources Questionnaire (AREQ) and
an 18-item Effective Management Universal Basic Education Questionnaire
(EMUBEQ). The instruments were validated by three experts two from Department
of Educational Management and one from measurement and evaluation, all in
College of Education, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia
State. Cronbach Alpha method was used to determine the internal consistency of
the two instruments which yielded reliability indices of 0.75 and 0.81 for AREQ
and EMUBEQ respectively. Four briefed research assistants helped in the
administration and collection of the instrument. Out of 400 copies of the two
instruments administered, 386 representing 97 percent return rate were used for
data analysis. Pearson product moment correlation was used to answer the six
research questions raised for the study while linear regression analysis was
used to test the six null the hypotheses that guided the study at 0.05 level of
significance. The findings showed among others that physical facilities, human
resources, financial resources, instructional resources significantly to a
positive very high extent relate to the management of universal basic education
in Abia state while library resources significantly to a positive high extent relate to the management of
universal basic education in Abia state. The study concluded that resources to
a very high extent relate to the management of universal basic education in
Abia state. The study therefore, recommended among others that Government
