Managing School Plant for the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): the Proactivity of Education for all in Enugu State

Abstract

Education for All is a global challenge that interplays between other items on the SDG’s list. The worry over a significant number of school–going aged children being out of school and the failure of the numerous governmental policy /strategies to take children out of streets in the past decades underscores the researcher’s interest. To that effect, the study investigated the extent to which school plant management could heighten the chances of achieving the SDGs “Education for All” in Enugu State. 1 research question and 1 null-hypothesis guided the study. A total of 2,177 formed the population, out of which 246 was sampled. The findings revealed that school plant management can to a great extent lead to the achievement of education for all in Enugu State. Based on this, the researcher recommended among other things as follows, 1. Secondary schools in Enugu should be beautifully afforested so as to be attractive enough to make the children feel at home, 2. Classrooms should be designed /constructed to make for proper ventilation.
