Assessing the Relationship between School Infrastructure and Student Academic Performance in Nigeria

Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between school infrastructure and student academic performance in Nigeria, highlighting the critical role that physical learning environments play in educational outcomes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we analyze quantitative data from a diverse sample of schools alongside qualitative insights from educators and administrators. Key infrastructure components—including classroom conditions, availability of learning materials, and access to technology are assessed to determine their influence on student achievement. The findings reveal significant correlations between high-quality infrastructure and improved academic performance, suggesting that strategic investments in school facilities are essential for fostering a conducive learning atmosphere. This research ultimately advocates for policy reforms aimed at enhancing educational infrastructure to promote better learning outcomes across Nigeria.
