Plant Organization, Instructional Efficiency and Students Academic Performance in Osun State Secondary Schools  \nAdedapo Adetiba Atolagbe  \nPh.D, Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, [atolagbe.aa@unilorin.edu.ng](atolagbe.aa@unilorin.edu.ng)  \nThis study observed the effects of school plant organization on instructional efficiency and performance of students in Osun State public secondary schools. It employed a quantitative research design of correlation type. The study sampled 100 public secondary schools in the three senatorial districts of the state using systematic random sampling method. A researcher-designed questionnaire titled ‘School Plant Organization and Instructional Efficiency Questionnaire”(SPOIEQ) was used to collect data on relative location of school plant facilities in the schools. The construct and content validity of the instrument was done by experts in research. The question items were reviewed by the specialists and corrections were affected as suggested by them. After a test- retest treatment within two weeks interval, the scale recorded a cronbach alpha of 0.75. The study found out that most specialized school plant facilities (laboratories, libraries, playgrounds, workshops, hostels and staff offices) were located considerable distance from the classrooms thus requiring longer mean time for teachers and students to move into or from them for teaching and learning. Also, a significant relationship was established between school plant, instructional efficiency and academic performance with F-value (0.36) > critical Fvalue (0.19) at. o5 level of significance. School plant organization and student attendance/ punctuality at lessons were found to be significantly related with F-value (0.7921) > critical Fvalue (0.16) at .05 level of significance. School plant organization and teachers attendance/ lesson completion was found to be significantly related with F-value (0.5500) > critical F-value (0.16) at .05 level of significance. The study concluded that school plant location have a role to play on the effectiveness of instruction and the ultimate performance of students in their examinations. It thus recommended the construction of ‘Integrated Classrooms’ that can house almost all teaching activities under one big roof.  \nKeywords: school plant, instructional efficiency, specialized school rooms, integrated classroom  \nINTRODUCTION  \nOne of the objectives of educational institutions in Nigeria is to produce the required manpower for all sectors ofthe economy. In order to actualize this objective, school plant plays an important role in our educational system. Adeboyeje (2000) describes school plants as the school site, buildings, classrooms, corridors, playgrounds, sanitary facilities, furniture and other equipment minus the consumable materials. It is the space interpretation of the school curriculum, the ways in which curriculum finds its physical expression. The school administrator should consider not the staff and students alone but the suitability of the site, situation, organization and location of the school itself. The appropriate location of the classrooms, laboratories, conveniences, playground etc; in relation to one another and with consideration for easy access and co-ordination of all school activities should bethe concern of all school administrators. School plant organization involves the arrangement and location of classroom blocks, organization of school, hostel blocks, kitchen and dining hall, science  \nlaboratories and agricultural science block, technology workshop, arts and typing rooms assembly hall, students’ common room, staff offices with administrative and teachers office, water supply, power supply , adequate supply of furniture and equipment to include seats and desks, laboratory equipment and audio-visual aids and as well as books on every subjects and toilets(Oladejo,2004) .
