Abstract

The paper examines the utilization of educational resources as a factor influencing quality secondary education in South-South, Nigeria. The study was premised on the fact that educational resources provided for secondary education are not being judiciously utilized by relevant authorities in the school system in the teaching-learning process; as they still prefer the traditional teaching method to the utilization of improvised and enhanced educational resources that will spur quality education. An appropriate review of related literature was undertaken to analyze diverse views with regard to the utilization of educational resources and quality secondary education. The paper concluded that educational resources are an integral component of the school that requires regular and prompt supervision with a bid to sustain quality in the education sector in the area under review. The paper suggested that secondary school administrators and Chief inspectors of schools should consistently and regularly supervise schools to ensure the appropriate utilization of educational resources provided by the government, owing to the fact that the judicious use of the supplied educational resources will promote quality secondary education.
