Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed at creating a robust geospatial database for educational facilities in Oredo LGA of Edo State. This aim was achieved by: acquiring primary and secondary dataset of the study area, creating a geospatial database of educational facilities in Oredo LGA of Edo State, Nigeria, developing spatial and attribute queries that will aid in the management of educational facilities in the study area. The map of the study area was acquired and used to derive the base map through the process of digitizing using ArcGIS10.4.1. The coordinates of each school was obtained using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) receiver and plotted on the base map. A very robust geospatial database was created after which spatial and attribute queries were carried out. The results show that the Oredo LGA has a very low teacher – student ratio of 1:43 as against 1:25 advocated by the National policy on Education 2011. Results further reveals that about five settlements in the study area do not have post primary school and majority of the schools are over populated. Spatial and attribute queries generated shows that only two (2) schools have toilet facilities with water while the remaining eleven (11) schools have no toilet facilities. Five (5) out of the thirteen (13) schools are built within about 500m to the moat which are seriously threatened by gully erosion from the moat. About three (3) schools have dilapidated buildings.
