Abstract

Facilities management is an integral part of the overall management of the school. The actualisation of the goals and objectives of education requires the provision, maximum utilisation and appropriate management of the facilities. The primary purpose of the teaching and learning process is to bring about in the learner desirable change in behaviour through critical thinking. These processes do not take place in a vacuum but rather in an environment structured to facilitate learning. As stated in the conference objective, the match between an individual’s characteristics with the learning environment together with the management of those learning environment is also important. Learning facilities management is a process that ensures that buildings and other technical systems support the operation of an organisation. This will improve the quality of teaching and learning facilities. A direct relationship exists between the quality of learning facilities provided and the quality of the products of the school. The physical environment of a school is a major determining factor in the attainment of its objectives. This paper describes the concept, nature, types of learning facilities, the need for learning facilities in the school and facility management methodologist. It recommended among others that school managers and teachers who constantly use learning facilities be given orientation on the maintenance of such facilities.
