Quality education is fundamental for pupils’ advancement in any country.
School libraries are said to be the second class for pupils because of the
important role they play in enhancing the quality of education. School libraries
are the avenues for cultivating pupils’ morals, the important facade for
improving pupils’ education quality and for effective facilities for developing
special technical education, serving as a friendly place for increasing pupils’
total education quality. The general idea for school libraries is to intensify the
quality of education in schools through provision of adequate facilities such as
chairs, tables, textbooks and qualified library staff to guide pupils in
appropriate usage of libraries for better performance and hence lead to quality
education in the country. Despite of the tremendous contribution of school
libraries in increasing the students’ performance it has been discovered that
this role is not recognized by most of the government officials. The challenges
such as staffing, funding, lack of standard library building and frequent change
in curriculum that affects collection development need to be addressed by the
government if at all the country has to provide quality education to her citizens. |
