APPRAISAL OF BUDGETARY PRACTICES IN GRANT-AIDED SECONDARY
SCHOOLS
Abstract
This study was designed to appraise budgetary practices in
grant-aided
secondary schools in North Central, Nigeria. Specifically
the study sought to;
find out the extent procedures of budget preparation by the
principals and the
bursars complies with school budget guidelines, determine
the extent budget
estimates of principals are prepared in accordance with
budget guidelines,
ascertain the extent budgetary provisions by principals are
in accordance with
budget guidelines among others. Five research questions and
four null
hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey design was
employed. A 43-
item questionnaire was administered to 568 respondents,
composing 284
principals and 284 bursars drawn from 284 grant-aided
secondary schools.
Documentary evidences were used in order to obtain
qualitative information on
the responses of the subjects. Mean scores and standard
deviations were used to
answer research questions while the z-test statistic was
used to test the null
hypotheses at 0.05 Alpha levels. The study found among other
ones that
Principals’ budgetary estimates to a great extent follow
laid down budget
guidelines. However principals and bursars disagreed on the
proposition that no
expenditure may be incurred outside estimates except on the
authority of a duly
signed warrant. The procedures used for budget preparation
by principals and
bursars to a great extent comply with budget guidelines. The
adequacy of
budgetary provisions by the principals to a great extent
conform with the laid
down school budget blue prints, even though Board of
Governors do not readily
approve alternative sources of funds sought for by
principals. Principals to a
little extent use formalized monitoring strategies to ensure
compliance with
budget provisions by the heads of departments. Factors that
inhibit principals’
compliance with budget guidelines include; delay in budget
approval by the
Ministry of Education and Schools Board, Principals neglect
the opinions of
their subordinates in budget preparation, Principals do not
make financial reports
available to heads of departments and heads of units after
monitoring visit for
their future guide, officers who did not adhere to budget
guidelines were not
queried. The inability of state governments to subsidize the
cost of secondary
education affects budgetary practices of principals. Based
on the findings and
implications of the study therein, the following
recommendations are made;
Principals and bursars of secondary schools should be
trained regularly on how
to adhere and comply strictly with the budget guidelines.
Principals are to
monitor budgetary processes in their schools by setting up
budget monitoring
committee among the members of the staff. The state Boards
should ensure that
warrant of expenditure is issued to the principals at the
beginning of every
session early enough to avoid financial discrepancies that
could affect teaching
and leaning in grant-aided secondary schools.
