ABSTRACT
Facilities management is an integral part of the overall management of the school. The actualization of the goals and objectives of education require the provision, maximum utilization and appropriate management of the facilities. Furthermore, advances in science and technology, necessitate that the school manager should adopt modern methods of facilities management. This will improve the quality of teaching and learning. A direct relationship exists between the quality of school facilities provided and the quality of the products of the school. The physical environment of a school is a major determining factor in the attainment of its objectives. This paper describes the concept, nature, types of school facilities, need for facilities in schools and facility management problems. It also suggested methodologies for facilities management and concluded that school facilities give meaning to the teaching and learning process. It recommended that school managers should carry out comprehensive assessment of the facilities to determine areas of need. This type of assessment will assist in policy formulation as it relates to facility management in schools.
1.0 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of the teaching and learning process is to bring about in the learner desirable change in behaviour through critical thinking. This process does not take place in a vacuum but rather in an environment
