Abstract
This study examined the perception of Secondary School Administrators towards the availability of resources for the smooth activities during teaching and learning of practical agriculture in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria. Two research questions and a hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. A descriptive survey research design was used for the study, the sample size was twenty six secondary school administrators comprising of 14 males and 12 females from twenty six secondary schools. The instrument used for data collection was a modified four point response Likert scale questionnaire that was face validated by three experts. Kuder Richardson method was used to test for the reliability. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyze the research questions and t-test at 0.05 level of significance was used to test the hypothesis. Findings revealed that the administrators' sex did not influence their perception in relation to the availability of resources required for the smooth activities for practical agriculture. The sex of the administrator also had no significant effect on their perception regarding the frequency of the release of fund for effective teaching and learning of practical agriculture. It is recommended that the school farm should be primarily for the teaching of practical agriculture to the students and not for punishment. So also, resources should be provided primarily by the government and funds can also be sourced from private sectors, non-governmental organizations, school internally generated revenue, alumni, Parents Teachers Association (PTA) and other sundry sources.
