📄 Abstract
This paper examined stakeholders participation in educational development of government owned secondary schools in Rivers State. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population for this study consisted of 6,893 teachers of all the 291 government owned (public) secondary schools in Rivers State. The sample size of 378 respondents were derived from entire population using Taro Yamane. Stratified random sampling was the sampling technique adopted for study. The instrument used for the study was titled: Stakeholders Participation in Educational Development Scale (SPEDS). The instrument items were designed and validated by the researcher, and a reliability index of 0.87 using Cronbach Alpha was determined. The findings revealed that to a moderate extent stakeholders participate in provision of physical facilities and in the funding of government owned secondary schools for educational development in Rivers State. Based on the finding, the researcher recommended among others that parents who are major stakeholders in schools should work out modalities on how to support government owned secondary schools in provision of physical of learning facilities that will enhance quality teaching and learning activities for educational development in the state.
