School Facilities Maintenance Culture

School Facilities Maintenance Culture- A sub title of the book- Educational Management: New Perspectives

Overview

The school as a micro system cannot operate without functioning facilities and the only way these facilities can continue to function is for them to be adequately taken care of. Hence, school facilities maintenance culture remains a sine quo non for the attainment of educational goals and objectives. Poor maintenance of physical facilities-furniture, computers, cars among others-has caused great concern to stakeholders in the education sector. An effective implementation of the different types of maintenance in schools, such as preventive, periodic replacement and emergency would go a long way in achieving educational goals and objectives. Since poor maintenance culture among school facilities’ users has led to incessant damage of the available facilities, staff and students in the school community should be well educated on its importance.
