Abstract

Abstract
This study examined the influence of educational facilities utilisation on quality education for sustainable development proxy by students’ academic performance in public senior secondary schools in Education District V of Lagos State with one hypothesis formulated to guide the study. Descriptive research design was employed, and the study’s population comprised all the students in the 71 public senior secondary schools of the chosen education district. A sample of 250 students were drawn from the sampled 25 schools using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. The instruments used to generate data for the study were a self-constructed questionnaire on educational facilities utilisation which contains a-20 item, and record observation containing the internal results of Senior Secondary School (SSS) 3 students. The validity and reliability of these instruments were ensured and determined at 0.79 reliability coefficient. Data collected were analysed using inferential statistics of regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The results study showed that there is no significant relative influence of consumable facilities utilisation, non-consumable facilities utilisation and physical type facilities utilisation on students’ academic performance in Lagos State Education District V (F(3,21) = .896, R2 = .113, p > .05). The study thereafter concluded that educational facilities utilisation is apparently not a major determinant of students’ academic performance in public senior secondary schools in Education District V. However, part of the study’s recommendations is that to ensure quality education for sustainable development, non-educational facilities utilisation should be given the required urgent attention.
