Abstract
This study focused on the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities on Junior Secondary
School (JSS) learning environment in Epe division of Lagos State of Nigeria. To acarry out this research
work, five hypotheses were raised and tested and the descriptive design was used to provide information on
the existing situation regarding the variables of concern in the study. Two hundred teacher respondents
were selected using purposive and simple random sampling methods. Data gatheres was analysed using
descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of t-test. Recommendations were provided based on the
findings of the study.
Key Words: Influence, Universal Basic Education, Learning Environment and Academic Achievement.

    1.   Introduction

The Universal Basic education (UBE) Programme could not have been introduced at a better time than now
that the nation is in urgent need of all round national development. The major objective of the UBE
programme is to provide free, universal and compulsory basic education for every Nigerian child aged 6 -
15 years. However, for the Universal Basic Education programme to be truly free and universal, efforts
must be made to check those factors that are known to have hindered the success of similar programmes in
the past.

The UBE programme is an expression of the strong desire of the government of Nigeria to reinforce
participatory democracy by raising the level of awareness and general education of the entire citizenry.
There have not been records of successful free education programmes in Nigeria. Therefore, for the
successful implementation of the UBE programme, all hands should be on deck.

Adequate fund must be put into the programme, the required level of participation needed from the state
government, local government and other agencies in terms of funding must be clearly specified. The
Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) therefore, must device a way of combating these ills;
otherwise the hope of Nigeria implementing UBE as an instrument for national development may remain a
myth.

The most important investment under the educational enterprise is human development. Investing in people
of course means training, and training should be a career-long process. Individual teachers at the school
level will need to be empowered to interpret UBE appropriately. The state and local governments will be
required to progressively improve on the conditions of teaching and learning in primary and secondary
school through teacher quality development programmes. This can be accomplished through training and
retraining of teachers to meet the challenges of the UBE. In order to offer every teacher the opportunity of
meaningful participation in actualizing the ideals and intents of the Universal Basic Education in Nigeria,
in-service training programme therefore should be part of the human development scheme. By investing in
people, developing their talents and potentials for the benefit of all employees and employers, a highly
motivated and productive workforce is created (Obanyan, 2002 & Adeyemi, 2009)

A review of related literature has revealed that attempt in the past to provide free education (i.e. Universal
Primary education, UPE programme) whether at the federal or state levels has never been successful due to
poor planning and implementation which eventually affects the quality of classroom provisions,

infrastructural facilities teachers’ provisions, instructional materials and the other factors of learning
environments. These views were supported by Nwagwu (2000) and Maduewesi (2005) who saw poor
planning as one of the problems responsible for the unsuccessful implementation of the UPE programmes.
In their own contributions Adamaechi and Romaine (1991) also saw poor planning as one of the problems
responsible for the unsuccessful implementation of the former UPE programme. They remarked that the
planners of the programme were unable to project accurate number of children that would gain from the
scheme and the facilities/manpower required. According to Odo, (2000) the UPE programme also failed
because of inadequate funding and poor monitoring of the programme.

Oyekan (2007) posits that the current UBE scheme in Nigeria can be said to be the product of earlier
educational scheme, programmes and educational decisions. It is the offshoot of previous scheme, which
could be said to have been bedeviled by problems of human, physical and infrastructural facilities, which
the current scheme is expected to offset. These problems have their influence on the learning environment
(Adeyemi, 2005). This is the area of facilities provision which specifically are blocks of classrooms,
furniture and instructional facilities which are chalkboard and bills.

Nwagwu (1976), Obanya (2000) and Adeyemi (2007) reports that to achieve strong educational foundation,
the Nigeria primary education system therefore needs adequate facilities such as blocks of classroom,
furniture, instructional materials, libraries and other school equipment in order to enhance learning
environment. These are expected to be provided for conducive classroom, effective classroom
communication climate, conducive teaching-learning atmosphere, etc.
To this extent therefore, the current study focuses on the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE)
facilities on school learning environment.



    2. Statement of the Problem
Various studies had been conducted on impact evaluation of the effectiveness of the Universal Basic
Educational programme and how efficiently allocated resources had been utilized towards ensuring
qualitative and quantitative functional basic education in Nigeria (Ojele, 1998; Obanya, 2000; UBEC,
2000; 2001; Adeyemi, 2007). However, there are still areas to be investigated in terms of provision of
physical and infrastructural facilities.

In view of this, the current study is designed to review the UBE scheme in order to determine whether or
not the provision of available physical and infrastructural facilities has fostered the required learning
environment desirable in Epe division of Lagos State.

3. Research Hypotheses
1.       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of classroom control in
         schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.
2.       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of teacher–students
         classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.
3.       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of students’ sitting
         arrangement in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.
4.       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the students’ level of co-operative
         learning habit in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.
5.       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of students’ stimulation to
         learning in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.

         4. Research Methods

This research investigated the influence of UBE (Universal Basic Education) on schools’ learning
environment in Epe Division of Lagos State. This chapter therefore presents the methodology employed for
the study; which is research design, population, samples and sampling techniques, research instrument,
validity and reliability of the instrument, procedures for data collection and procedures for data analysis.

4.1 Research Design
The descriptive research design of ex-post facto type was used in carrying out this research work as it
allows for assessment of certain attributes, properties, characteristics in a situation at one or more point in
time. It also permits the researcher to meaningfully describe large number of scores with a small number or
indices.

4.2 Population
The population for this study consists of all male and female Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in
Epe Division of Lagos State.

4.3 Sample and Sampling Technique

There are at present six educational districts in Epe Division of Lagos State. These districts are Agbowa,
Eredo, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ejinrin and Riverine. A purposive sampling technique was used to select twenty
(20) secondary schools from all the educational districts and a random sampling technique was used to
select the two hundred (200) teachers from the twenty junior sampled secondary schools in Epe Division of
Lagos State.

4.4 Research Instrument

The main instrument for this research was a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three
sections A, B and C. Section A elicited the demographic information of the respondents such as the sex,
age, educational qualification, religion, educational district, and years of working experience. Section B
sought information about availability or otherwise of UBE facilities in Epe Divisional Schools. Section C
however contained Likert model of 4 scale statements where the respondents are to indicate the level of
their agreement or disagreement to the tested hypotheses accordingly.

4.5 Validity of the Instrument

For the face validity, it was ensured that the instrument was made with right formalities and the draft of the
instrument was scrutinized by the project supervisor and other experts in the Department. For content
validity, it was ensured that all the items pertaining to the cost and financing of senior secondary education
based on table of specification.
 4.6 Reliability of the Instrument
Reliability is the degree of consistency of an instrument over a period of time. Therefore, the result
obtained through the instrument is expected to be constant, even at different occasions. To ascertain the
reliability of the research instrument a test-retest method was employed with two week interval. The
obtained scores were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) coefficient and a
coefficient of 0.86 was obtained. Thus, the reliability of the instrument was ascertained.
4.7 Method of Data Collection
The questionnaires were administered personally to the respondents. The researcher was on ground to
interpret and guide the respondents. The questionnaires were be collected back immediately after
completion in order to ensure a substantial return of the forms.

4.8 Data Analysis

  The responses of the respondents were coded and scored. Descriptive statistics of percentages and
  frequencies were used for the demographic information of the respondents and availability of UBE
  facilities. However, an inferential statistics of t-test analysis was used to test the research hypotheses, raised
  in the study.

5. Results
     The results of the analysis of data collected on the influence of UBE (Universal Basic Education) on
     schools’ learning environment in Epe Division of Lagos State are presented below. This section discussed
     inferential statistics of t-test analysis on the influence of UBE facilities on classroom control, teachers-
     students’ classroom interaction, students’ sitting arrangement, students’ level of co-operative learning
     habit, and students’ stimulation to learning.
   Analysis of the Research Hypotheses
   Ho1:       Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of classroom control in
              schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.

                                      df = 199, 0.05 level of significance
  From the analysis in table 2 above, there is significant mean difference in classroom control between the
  schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.473, SD = 0.891) and schools without UBE facilities (N =
  65, X = 1.597, SD = 0.499). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 9.25 is greater than the t-
  tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of
  significance.

  Since the calculated value (9.25) is greater than the table value (1.645), the null hypothesis which stated
  that “There is no significant difference in the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and
  schools without these facilities”, is hereby rejected. Consequently therefore, this means that states
  provisions of UBE facilities significantly influences the level of classroom control in schools with UBE
  facilities and schools without these facilities.

  Ho2: Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of teacher–students
  classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities.

  From the analysis in table 3 above, there is significant mean difference in the level of teachers-students
  classroom interactions between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.962, SD = 0.0.773) and

6. Discussion of Findings

   The study investigated the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities on schools’ learning
   environment in Epe Division of Lagos State. From the study it is apparent that with UBE, citizens would
   have easy access to it and it should be free. UBE is also expected to provide basic education which is
   expected to be terminal. Such education (UBE) is not meant for school age children alone, it is also
   designed to take care of the educational needs of young people and adults who have not had the opportunity
   to receive adequate schooling. Thus the UBE programme will include: nomadic education, education of
   migrant fishermen, school drop outs, out of school children and adult education. This programme is
   expected to be a continuation of the UPE programme, which was abandoned in 1976.

   The analysis of hypothesis one sought to examine the influence of provisions of UBE facilities on the level
   of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. The results of the
   analysis of hypothesis one showed a significant mean difference in classroom control between the schools
   with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.473, SD = 0.891) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X =
   1.597, SD = 0.499). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 9.25 is greater than the t-tab value
   of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. This result lent supports for the earlier study by Ogunu (2000) and
   Maduewesi (2005) who at different studies showed the impact of resources on classroom control. It thus
   shows that availability of learning facilities would foster efficient classroom control in the school setting.

   The results of the Analysis of hypothesis two showed a significant mean difference in the level of teachers-
   students classroom interactions between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.962, SD =
   0.0.773) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.678, SD = 0.578). The t-test analysis also
   revealed that the t-cal value 8.02 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. It thus
   confirmed that provisions of UBE facilities significantly influenced the level of teacher–students classroom
   interaction in schools with UBE facilities than in schools without these facilities. The findings of this study
   corroborated the opinion of Obayan (2000) who asserted earlier that availability of learning facilities
   increases the mutual interactions between teachers and students. It is expected that when teachers-students
   classroom interaction is strengthened, it fosters higher academic achievements among learners.

   From the results of the analysis of hypothesis three, it was established that provisions of UBE facilities
   significantly influenced the level of students’ sitting arrangement in schools with UBE facilities than those
   schools without these facilities. The t-test analysis showed a significant mean difference in the students’
   sitting arrangement between the schools with UBE facilities                (N = 135, X = 1.975, SD = 0.814)
   and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 1.204, SD = 0.326). The t-cal value 12.95 was also
   greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. It can be deduced that schools with
   facilities had better sitting arrangement than schools without UBE facilities and the study of Enoch &
   Okpede (2000) emphasized the influence of sitting arrangement on students’ academic performance. Good

   sitting arrangement of students ensures ventilation, decorum, hygiene, and academic discipline in the
   classroom setting.

   Hypothesis four tested the significant influence of provisions of UBE facilities on students’ level of co-
   operative learning habit. The t-test analysis revealed a significant mean difference in the students’ level of
   cooperative learning habit between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.112, SD = 0.743) and
   schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.678, SD = 0.310). The t-test analysis also revealed that the
   t-cal value 10.77 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance.

   The results of the analysis of hypothesis five also showed a significant mean difference in the level of
   students’ stimulation to learning between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.528, SD = 0.912)
   and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.725, SD = 0.677). The t-cal value 10.77 was greater
   than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance, and this confirmed that provisions of UBE
   facilities significantly influenced the level of students’ stimulation to learning in schools with UBE
   facilities than in schools without these facilities. This result supported the findings of Ezeocha (1990), Odo
   (2000) and Obayan (2000) who in separate studies established that availability of learning facilities
   enhances students’ stimulation to learning in schools.

7. Conclusions

   The results of this finding corroborated the findings of Oni (1995) who opined that educational facilities –
   human, financial, material or physical and educational centers constitute strategic factor in the functioning
   of the educational system. Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities include those that have been
   described by Aghenta (2000) as those teaching materials; some real, some graphics, not solely dependent
   upon words as a predominant source of meaning for the observer. Such materials according to him include
   field and classroom study of real things, objects, demonstrations, dramatization models, workings,
   television programme, motion pictures, maps, lantern slides, transparences for the overhead study prints
   and other illustrations (opaque projectors) cartoons, posters, globe, graphs and charts.

   This study confirmed the findings of Edling and Paulson (2001) which asserted that facilities enable
   students to acquire knowledge, skill, attitude, which include graphics, photographic electronics such as
   tapes or mechanical means of arresting, processing and reconstituting visual and verbal information. The
   purpose of instruction is to enable each students develop their potentials to the fullest, if given the right
   type of knowledge, skills and attitudes to function effectively within their complex and dynamic society.

            8. Recommendations
   While rounding up on this research work, and considering results of the analysis of the
   data, the following recommendations are made: -
   1.       Owing to the influence of the availability of UBE facilities on schools’ learning environment,
            more facilities should be provided by the government and Universal Basic Education Board.
   2.        School administrators and principals should jealousy guard and protect the UBE facilities in the
            schools in order to ensure its durability.
   3.       Teachers and instructors should make proper and effective use of these facilities to enhance
            learning among students.
   4.       Where these facilities are not available, community, parents, NGOs, philanthropists, and alumni
            associations should complement government’s efforts in the provisions of         these learning
            facilities.
   5.       UBE facilities should be extended to those schools that are yet to have these UBE
            facilities, so that the impact of these facilities would go round and thereby enhance overall
          educational accomplishments in Nigeria.

Influence of universal basic education (ube) facilities on school learning environment in lagos state, nigeria

  • 1. Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol 3, No 2, 2012 Influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) Facilities on School Learning Environment in Lagos State, Nigeria Adeyemi Muyiwa * A, Quadri Faculty of Education, Olabisi Onabanjo University, P O Box 2002, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria, Africa. *E – mail: adeyemiaristotle@yahoo.com. 234-8059906505 Abstract This study focused on the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities on Junior Secondary School (JSS) learning environment in Epe division of Lagos State of Nigeria. To acarry out this research work, five hypotheses were raised and tested and the descriptive design was used to provide information on the existing situation regarding the variables of concern in the study. Two hundred teacher respondents were selected using purposive and simple random sampling methods. Data gatheres was analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of t-test. Recommendations were provided based on the findings of the study. Key Words: Influence, Universal Basic Education, Learning Environment and Academic Achievement. 1. Introduction The Universal Basic education (UBE) Programme could not have been introduced at a better time than now that the nation is in urgent need of all round national development. The major objective of the UBE programme is to provide free, universal and compulsory basic education for every Nigerian child aged 6 - 15 years. However, for the Universal Basic Education programme to be truly free and universal, efforts must be made to check those factors that are known to have hindered the success of similar programmes in the past. The UBE programme is an expression of the strong desire of the government of Nigeria to reinforce participatory democracy by raising the level of awareness and general education of the entire citizenry. There have not been records of successful free education programmes in Nigeria. Therefore, for the successful implementation of the UBE programme, all hands should be on deck. Adequate fund must be put into the programme, the required level of participation needed from the state government, local government and other agencies in terms of funding must be clearly specified. The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) therefore, must device a way of combating these ills; otherwise the hope of Nigeria implementing UBE as an instrument for national development may remain a myth. The most important investment under the educational enterprise is human development. Investing in people of course means training, and training should be a career-long process. Individual teachers at the school level will need to be empowered to interpret UBE appropriately. The state and local governments will be required to progressively improve on the conditions of teaching and learning in primary and secondary school through teacher quality development programmes. This can be accomplished through training and retraining of teachers to meet the challenges of the UBE. In order to offer every teacher the opportunity of meaningful participation in actualizing the ideals and intents of the Universal Basic Education in Nigeria, in-service training programme therefore should be part of the human development scheme. By investing in people, developing their talents and potentials for the benefit of all employees and employers, a highly motivated and productive workforce is created (Obanyan, 2002 & Adeyemi, 2009) A review of related literature has revealed that attempt in the past to provide free education (i.e. Universal Primary education, UPE programme) whether at the federal or state levels has never been successful due to poor planning and implementation which eventually affects the quality of classroom provisions, 30
  • 2. Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol 3, No 2, 2012 infrastructural facilities teachers’ provisions, instructional materials and the other factors of learning environments. These views were supported by Nwagwu (2000) and Maduewesi (2005) who saw poor planning as one of the problems responsible for the unsuccessful implementation of the UPE programmes. In their own contributions Adamaechi and Romaine (1991) also saw poor planning as one of the problems responsible for the unsuccessful implementation of the former UPE programme. They remarked that the planners of the programme were unable to project accurate number of children that would gain from the scheme and the facilities/manpower required. According to Odo, (2000) the UPE programme also failed because of inadequate funding and poor monitoring of the programme. Oyekan (2007) posits that the current UBE scheme in Nigeria can be said to be the product of earlier educational scheme, programmes and educational decisions. It is the offshoot of previous scheme, which could be said to have been bedeviled by problems of human, physical and infrastructural facilities, which the current scheme is expected to offset. These problems have their influence on the learning environment (Adeyemi, 2005). This is the area of facilities provision which specifically are blocks of classrooms, furniture and instructional facilities which are chalkboard and bills. Nwagwu (1976), Obanya (2000) and Adeyemi (2007) reports that to achieve strong educational foundation, the Nigeria primary education system therefore needs adequate facilities such as blocks of classroom, furniture, instructional materials, libraries and other school equipment in order to enhance learning environment. These are expected to be provided for conducive classroom, effective classroom communication climate, conducive teaching-learning atmosphere, etc. To this extent therefore, the current study focuses on the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities on school learning environment. 2. Statement of the Problem Various studies had been conducted on impact evaluation of the effectiveness of the Universal Basic Educational programme and how efficiently allocated resources had been utilized towards ensuring qualitative and quantitative functional basic education in Nigeria (Ojele, 1998; Obanya, 2000; UBEC, 2000; 2001; Adeyemi, 2007). However, there are still areas to be investigated in terms of provision of physical and infrastructural facilities. In view of this, the current study is designed to review the UBE scheme in order to determine whether or not the provision of available physical and infrastructural facilities has fostered the required learning environment desirable in Epe division of Lagos State. 3. Research Hypotheses 1. Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. 2. Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of teacher–students classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. 3. Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of students’ sitting arrangement in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. 4. Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the students’ level of co-operative learning habit in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. 5. Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of students’ stimulation to learning in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. 31

Research Methods This research investigated the influence of UBE (Universal Basic Education) on schools’ learning environment in Epe Division of Lagos State. This chapter therefore presents the methodology employed for the study; which is research design, population, samples and sampling techniques, research instrument, validity and reliability of the instrument, procedures for data collection and procedures for data analysis. 4.1 Research Design The descriptive research design of ex-post facto type was used in carrying out this research work as it allows for assessment of certain attributes, properties, characteristics in a situation at one or more point in time. It also permits the researcher to meaningfully describe large number of scores with a small number or indices. 4.2 Population The population for this study consists of all male and female Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Epe Division of Lagos State. 4.3 Sample and Sampling Technique There are at present six educational districts in Epe Division of Lagos State. These districts are Agbowa, Eredo, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ejinrin and Riverine. A purposive sampling technique was used to select twenty (20) secondary schools from all the educational districts and a random sampling technique was used to select the two hundred (200) teachers from the twenty junior sampled secondary schools in Epe Division of Lagos State. 4.4 Research Instrument The main instrument for this research was a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three sections A, B and C. Section A elicited the demographic information of the respondents such as the sex, age, educational qualification, religion, educational district, and years of working experience. Section B sought information about availability or otherwise of UBE facilities in Epe Divisional Schools. Section C however contained Likert model of 4 scale statements where the respondents are to indicate the level of their agreement or disagreement to the tested hypotheses accordingly. 4.5 Validity of the Instrument For the face validity, it was ensured that the instrument was made with right formalities and the draft of the instrument was scrutinized by the project supervisor and other experts in the Department. For content validity, it was ensured that all the items pertaining to the cost and financing of senior secondary education based on table of specification. 4.6 Reliability of the Instrument Reliability is the degree of consistency of an instrument over a period of time. Therefore, the result obtained through the instrument is expected to be constant, even at different occasions. To ascertain the reliability of the research instrument a test-retest method was employed with two week interval. The obtained scores were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) coefficient and a coefficient of 0.86 was obtained. Thus, the reliability of the instrument was ascertained. 4.7 Method of Data Collection The questionnaires were administered personally to the respondents. The researcher was on ground to interpret and guide the respondents. The questionnaires were be collected back immediately after completion in order to ensure a substantial return of the forms. 4.8 Data Analysis 32
  • 4. Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol 3, No 2, 2012 The responses of the respondents were coded and scored. Descriptive statistics of percentages and frequencies were used for the demographic information of the respondents and availability of UBE facilities. However, an inferential statistics of t-test analysis was used to test the research hypotheses, raised in the study. 5. Results The results of the analysis of data collected on the influence of UBE (Universal Basic Education) on schools’ learning environment in Epe Division of Lagos State are presented below. This section discussed inferential statistics of t-test analysis on the influence of UBE facilities on classroom control, teachers- students’ classroom interaction, students’ sitting arrangement, students’ level of co-operative learning habit, and students’ stimulation to learning. Analysis of the Research Hypotheses Ho1: Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. Table 2: t-test analysis of level of classroom control Groups N X SD Df t-cal t-tab P Decision Schools with UBE 135 2.473 0.891 facilities 199 9.25 1.645 0.05 Ho: Schools without UBE 65 1.597 0.499 Rejected facilities t-cal = 9.25, t-tab = 1.645 df = 199, 0.05 level of significance From the analysis in table 2 above, there is significant mean difference in classroom control between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.473, SD = 0.891) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 1.597, SD = 0.499). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 9.25 is greater than the t- tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. Since the calculated value (9.25) is greater than the table value (1.645), the null hypothesis which stated that “There is no significant difference in the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities”, is hereby rejected. Consequently therefore, this means that states provisions of UBE facilities significantly influences the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. Ho2: Provisions of UBE facilities would not significantly influence the level of teacher–students classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. Table 3: t-test analysis of the level of teacher-students classroom interactions. Groups N X SD df t-cal t-tab P Decision Schools with UBE 135 1.962 0.773 facilities 199 8.02 1.645 0.05 Ho: Schools without UBE 65 0.678 0.578 Rejected facilities t-cal = 8.02, t-tab = 1.645 df = 199, 0.05 level of significance From the analysis in table 3 above, there is significant mean difference in the level of teachers-students classroom interactions between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.962, SD = 0.0.773) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.678, SD = 0.578). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 8.02 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. Since the calculated value (8.02) is greater than the table value (1.645), the null hypothesis which stated that “There is no significant difference in the level of teacher–students classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities”, is hereby rejected. Consequently therefore, this 33

Discussion of Findings The study investigated the influence of Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities on schools’ learning environment in Epe Division of Lagos State. From the study it is apparent that with UBE, citizens would have easy access to it and it should be free. UBE is also expected to provide basic education which is expected to be terminal. Such education (UBE) is not meant for school age children alone, it is also designed to take care of the educational needs of young people and adults who have not had the opportunity to receive adequate schooling. Thus the UBE programme will include: nomadic education, education of migrant fishermen, school drop outs, out of school children and adult education. This programme is expected to be a continuation of the UPE programme, which was abandoned in 1976. The analysis of hypothesis one sought to examine the influence of provisions of UBE facilities on the level of classroom control in schools with UBE facilities and schools without these facilities. The results of the analysis of hypothesis one showed a significant mean difference in classroom control between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.473, SD = 0.891) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 1.597, SD = 0.499). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 9.25 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. This result lent supports for the earlier study by Ogunu (2000) and Maduewesi (2005) who at different studies showed the impact of resources on classroom control. It thus shows that availability of learning facilities would foster efficient classroom control in the school setting. The results of the Analysis of hypothesis two showed a significant mean difference in the level of teachers- students classroom interactions between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.962, SD = 0.0.773) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.678, SD = 0.578). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 8.02 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. It thus confirmed that provisions of UBE facilities significantly influenced the level of teacher–students classroom interaction in schools with UBE facilities than in schools without these facilities. The findings of this study corroborated the opinion of Obayan (2000) who asserted earlier that availability of learning facilities increases the mutual interactions between teachers and students. It is expected that when teachers-students classroom interaction is strengthened, it fosters higher academic achievements among learners. From the results of the analysis of hypothesis three, it was established that provisions of UBE facilities significantly influenced the level of students’ sitting arrangement in schools with UBE facilities than those schools without these facilities. The t-test analysis showed a significant mean difference in the students’ sitting arrangement between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.975, SD = 0.814) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 1.204, SD = 0.326). The t-cal value 12.95 was also greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. It can be deduced that schools with facilities had better sitting arrangement than schools without UBE facilities and the study of Enoch & Okpede (2000) emphasized the influence of sitting arrangement on students’ academic performance.

Hypothesis four tested the significant influence of provisions of UBE facilities on students’ level of co- operative learning habit. The t-test analysis revealed a significant mean difference in the students’ level of cooperative learning habit between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 2.112, SD = 0.743) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.678, SD = 0.310). The t-test analysis also revealed that the t-cal value 10.77 is greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the analysis of hypothesis five also showed a significant mean difference in the level of students’ stimulation to learning between the schools with UBE facilities (N = 135, X = 1.528, SD = 0.912) and schools without UBE facilities (N = 65, X = 0.725, SD = 0.677). The t-cal value 10.77 was greater than the t-tab value of 1.645 at 0.05 level of significance, and this confirmed that provisions of UBE facilities significantly influenced the level of students’ stimulation to learning in schools with UBE facilities than in schools without these facilities. This result supported the findings of Ezeocha (1990), Odo (2000) and Obayan (2000) who in separate studies established that availability of learning facilities enhances students’ stimulation to learning in schools. 7. Conclusions The results of this finding corroborated the findings of Oni (1995) who opined that educational facilities – human, financial, material or physical and educational centers constitute strategic factor in the functioning of the educational system. Universal Basic Education (UBE) facilities include those that have been described by Aghenta (2000) as those teaching materials; some real, some graphics, not solely dependent upon words as a predominant source of meaning for the observer. Such materials according to him include field and classroom study of real things, objects, demonstrations, dramatization models, workings, television programme, motion pictures, maps, lantern slides, transparences for the overhead study prints and other illustrations (opaque projectors) cartoons, posters, globe, graphs and charts. This study confirmed the findings of Edling and Paulson (2001) which asserted that facilities enable students to acquire knowledge, skill, attitude, which include graphics, photographic electronics such as tapes or mechanical means of arresting, processing and reconstituting visual and verbal information. The purpose of instruction is to enable each students develop their potentials to the fullest, if given the right type of knowledge, skills and attitudes to function effectively within their complex and dynamic society. 8. Recommendations While rounding up on this research work, and considering results of the analysis of the data, the following recommendations are made: - 1. Owing to the influence of the availability of UBE facilities on schools’ learning environment, more facilities should be provided by the government and Universal Basic Education Board. 2. School administrators and principals should jealousy guard and protect the UBE facilities in the schools in order to ensure its durability. 3. Teachers and instructors should make proper and effective use of these facilities to enhance learning among students. 4. Where these facilities are not available, community, parents, NGOs, philanthropists, and alumni associations should complement government’s efforts in the provisions of these learning facilities. 5. UBE facilities should be extended to those schools that are yet to have these UBE facilities, so that the impact of these facilities would go round and thereby enhance overall educational accomplishments in Nigeria. 9.
