MANAGEMENT
OF STUDENTS HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION PROBLEMS IN FEDERAL COLLEGES OF EDUCATION IN
SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study
investigated the management of students’ hostel accommodation problem in the
Federal Colleges of Education South Eastern Nigeria. The population of the
study comprised all students and staff of Students Affairs department of the
Federal Colleges of Education in South East geo-political zone. The study was
descriptive survey design. The instrument for data collection was a
questionnaire titled ‘Management of Student Hostel Accommodation Problems
Questionnaire’ (MSHAPQ) four research questions and three null hypothesis were
formulated to guide the study. The research questions were answered using mean
and standard deviation while t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05
level of significance. The major findings showed that the student agreed that
inadequate of hostel accommodation, overcrowding, location of hostel very far
from classroom area, inadequate supply of social amenities, inadequate toilets
facilities, poor sanitation and dilapidated hostel building do not constitute
nature of students’ hostel accommodation problem in the Federal Colleges of
Education. Poor hostel accommodation have a negative implication on the
academic performance of students. Finally it was found from the study, that
there is significant difference in the mean rating of respondent with regard to
the implication of accommodation problem and academic performance of students
of Federal Colleges of Education. Among the recommendation were school
authority in collaboration with government should endeavour to build more
hostel for students, school management and the government should endeavour to
repair dilapidated hostel buildings, students have the responsibility of
keeping the hostel clean.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
Colleges of
Education are teacher education institutions which have as their objective the
production of highly motivated, conscientious and efficient classroom teachers
for the primary and post-primary levels of our educational system. (Ogbonnaya,
2010). Colleges of Education is the institution solely meant for the training
of teachers. It is a vehicle for economic and social development in different
parts of the world. They have the responsibilities of equipping individuals
with knowledge and skill required for positions of responsibilities in
government, business and other spheres of life. The crucial roles Colleges of
Education play in the education of future leaders and development of high level
manpower cannot be overemphasized. Okoh (2004) in support of the above stated
that:
the growth
of students enrolment in Federal Colleges of Education in Nigeria has created
serious accommodation problems in all the Federal Colleges of Education to the
extent that some students have resorted to living in laboratories, workshop and
even in the classrooms and this has gone a long way in affecting them
psychologically, emotionally, socially, and even in their academic performance.

For the
objective of Colleges of Education to be achieved, there should be adequate
provision, proper allocation, and effective supervision of student hostel
accommodation in order to ensure effective teaching and learning processes and
all-round development of students. Akuchie, (1998).
Accommodation
has to do with privacy, personal space and territoriality. Student
accommodation can be seen as a place of abode for students; it is also a place
where students live and it is usually situated within the College where
students are accommodated in hostels or halls of residence Ezeukwu, (1999).
This hall of residence, apart from protecting students from sun, rain, heat and
cold, represent a learning environment which has tremendous impact on the
comfort, safety and performance of students. The essence is to enable students
settle down and have a place of rest. According to Onyegiri (2004), the essence
of hostels in Federal College of Education is to accommodate students and to
encourage effective teaching and learning. Ozioko (1997) affirmed that adequate
accommodation is one of the student’s personnel services that enhance the
achievement of educational objectives or instruction in an educational
institution.
The Federal
Republic of Nigeria (2004) in her NPE stated that the goals of higher education
include the acquisition, development and inculcation of the proper value
orientation for individual and societal survival and the development of
intellectual capacities to enable the individual understand and appreciate his
environment. These goals, as far as colleges of education is concern cannot be
achieved unless students in the colleges of education are adequately
accommodated and provided with safe drinking water, adequate sanitation,
regular supply of electricity and access to affordable means of transport.
Lack of or
inadequate living space among students is one of the causes of psychological
difficulty, and the likely hood of disposition to aggression is high among
students when they are not properly accommodated or when they are crowded. This
is because when an environment is not conducive, it leads or results in
aggressive behaviours emanating from such environment. Ozioko, (1997).
Hence, the
quality of an environment goes a long way to influence the behaviour of the
individuals found in and around it. Credence has been lend to this assertion by
Omu, (2003) who stated human behaviour is fundamentally related to attributes
of physical environment, that is, an environment determines the range of
behaviour or activities that can occur in it and most of the times determines
in a more positive sense particular aspect or pattern of an individual’s
behaviour. Therefore, the physical environment of the school including
condition of hostels and the transport system, affect student behaviours either
negatively or positively.
The problem
of students accommodation started in 1973 when the Federal Government took over
the existing tertiary institutions and even established new ones without giving
serious consideration to the implications of such policy decision including the
large students population it inherited from the take-over. For instance, this
increasing student enrolment also affected students.
