Abstract

The paper examined community participation in the development of secondary schools in Plateau State. Education being a capital intensive investment is faced with numerous challenges that government alone cannot handle. Many secondary schools in Plateau state are operating with scarce resources resulting to low standard output. This requires the participation of stakeholders to the development of the schools. The roles of community and other stakeholders in contributing to the development of secondary schools seem to be haphazardly done due to poor advocate and ignorance to some extent. Many schools are faced with inadequate infrastructure, inadequate funds and poor instructional materials as well as inadequate teaching staff. The paper recommends among others the need for sensitization and mobilization of the public to participate fully in the development of secondary schools, involve the immediate communities in decision making of the schools to facilitate their contributions for the development of secondary schools in Plateau State, and regular workshops, seminars and conferences should be organized for teachers to establish cordial relationships with their immediate communities for adequate participation in school activities.
