Abstract
The study investigated the state of school plant management in a sample of secondary schools in
Bole Sub City. Three research questions guided the study. The design of the study was
descriptive survey. The population consisted of all the 12(100%) principals and 80(100%) of
teachers in the sampled secondary schools. The researcher used both observational schedule
and a questionnaire as instrument for data collection. The finding shows that; the teaching
learning resources are available in most schools and in particular, materials related to
classroom instruction are adequate. However, laboratory facilities, manuals, clinics, students
dining hall and pedagogical centers are inadequate in most schools. Internet facilities in most
schools are inadequate. Based on the findings, was recommend that government should allocate
more funds to equip the laboratories, manuals and clinics, pedagogical centers, latrines/toilets
for students and student dining hall. Addis Ababa Education Bureau and Ethiopian
Telecommunication Corporation give more weight to support and regulate schools internet
facilities and Education Bureau should provide training for school principals for enhancing
facility-managing skills. Finally, it recommended among others that while governments should
allow school administrators to perform their duties, the government should build maintenance
cost into the educational budget to take care of deterioration of the school plant.
