Abstract
This paper examined the relevance of Parents Teachers Association (PTA) in the development of schools through the provision and management of facilities required for teaching and learning. The classical theory of equal opportunity and the theory of development were examined to explain the need and relevance of parents and teachers intervention in the development of schools facilities. The concepts of PTA and schools facilities were also espoused to highlight the place of PTA in the provision and management of facilities for teaching and learning in schools. A review of empirical works on the contributions of PTA to the development of schools facilitates revealed that although PTAs have contributed significantly to the development of schools facilitates, their contributions have become grossly inadequate in view of the growing population of schools and concomitant increase in their needs. The paper therefore recommends that government should explore adequately other sources such as education tax in meeting the needs of schools. Furthermore, government should subsidy the cost of teaching and learning resources, while school heads should create better forum for interactions of parents and teachers to pave way for more judicious and transparent use of funds and resources provided. Finally the paper recommends the integration of PTA in education policies formulation and implementation in view of their increasing importance in the development of schools.
