Abstract
This study examines the difference that exists between government and private owned secondary schools in terms of the availability of school records with reference to Zamfara State, Nigeria. In order to achieve this objective, one research question was formulated. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study population consisted of 550 teachers in government-owned and private secondary schools. 215 teachers were sampled using stratified sampling technique. For the purpose of data collection, a structured questionnaire was constructed on a 4-point Likert’s scale. In order to obtain reliable and accurate results, the data were analyzed using both descriptive (Mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t test). The study found that government-owned secondary schools reported significantly higher levels of school records keeping (M = 5.67, SD = 16.0) than private secondary schools (M = 5.24, SD = 15.3). Based on findings, it is recommended that Private secondary schools should put more effort to increase the level of provision and utilization of school records keeping facilities which would add value to their investment in education sector through efficient education service delivery.
