Abstract

The study assessed workshop facilities for effective teaching of wood work technology in Senior Secondary Schools in Kwara State. Survey research design was adopted for the work. The inventory of wood workshop and Minimum Standard Board for technical education was utilized. Questionnaire was used for data collection and the data were analyzed using simple percentage. The finding of the study revealed that circular saw (Bench) radial cercal saw, toners, mortise were not available in Technical Colleges in Kwara State. It was found out that Jack Plane, Rebate plane saw and other saw were inadequate. Recommendations were made based on the findings of the research. Some of these recommendations were that the Head of Section of Wood Work Technology should asses the facilities in the work shop at the end of every month to know the damaged or missing tools report to the College Management for replacement. The Kwara State Government should create more wood work section in the remaining technical colleges, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in charge of evaluation of Technical college in Nigeria should take issue of workshop facilities very seriously if not, the objectives of the programme will not be achieved.
