Subject area: Management and Commerce · Area of research: Educational Management
Abstract
The study aimed at Assessing Variations in Universities and Colleges TETfund Interventions Mechanism in Cross River State, Nigeria: Management perspective. In the course of the study, two research questions were answered and two null hypotheses were tested. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design 673 (11.3)) drawn from a population of 3,309 academic staff in four tertiary institutions in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study adopted stratified and simple random sampling techniques. A researcher-developed questionnaire titled "Assessment of Variations in Universities and Colleges Tetfund Interventions Mechanism Questionnaire (AVUCTIMQ)" was used for data collection and it was face validated by research experts in the field of Measurement and Evaluation and educational management respectively in the Faculty of Education CRUTECH. The reliability of the instrument was established with Cronbach Alpha reliability and the coefficient of internal consistency ranged from 0.69 to 0.77. The data were analysed with an independent t-test. The finding revealed that the staff of university differs significantly based on TETFund intervention mechanism. Also, it was found that the staff of the College of Education differs significantly based on their TETFund intervention mechanism. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that periodic audit exercises should be conducted to ensure that projects for which money has been expended are executed. Similarly, beneficiaries of grants from the Fund for various programmes of study should pursue their programmes as approved especially as it will enhance the teaching, learning and development of quality education in the country.
