Abstract
The study reported in this paper examined the effects of Parents’ and Teachers’ Associations (PTA) on educational development in public secondary schools in Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Data were obtained from detailed survey of sample of 10 secondary schools principals out of the 45 available in the study area. This represented 22.2% of the study population. Interview schedule and an observation check list were used to collect data. The questions were both closed/open-ended. Data collected were analysed using simple descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that though PTA has a great influence in the development of the physical facilities in public secondary schools, as the provision exercise books textbooks, writing material and teaching aids, but to lesser in the funding of co-curricular activities. However, most respondents held a strong view that PTA funds have fallen short of sustaining the provision of school facilities, teaching aids and programmes absolutely, particularly with respect to poor financial environment in the study area. There is need therefore to increase funding of secondary schools generally from various sources in order to ensure that many students are able to access quality education. The study recommends among others that school Heads should create better forum to establish veritable rapport between schools and the PTA bodies, and that PTA members should be part of formulation and implementation in the education sector because of the key role they play in the sustenance of education in Nigeria
