dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study is to develop a Geo-Database for Primary Schools in Kaura Local Government Area, Kaduna State, Nigeria using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems Technique. 104 UBE primary schools were identified with a population of 326137 people across the study area. All the schools in the study area were purposively sampled and used in the study. The attribute data were obtained through the administration of a checklist to the Head-Teachers of the schools. The coordinates of each school were obtained using a hand-held GPS receiver. An administrative map of the study area was obtained from the Local Government Area to derive the base map through digitizing process. The map was geo-referenced and digitized in ArcGIS 9.3. An overlay analysis was performed and all the coordinates of the UBE primary schools were displayed on the composite map. A GIS database was created where the spatial and attribute data were encoded and query analysis was carried out. The queries performed revealed 724 functional classrooms with 66% of the schools having less than six classrooms. The study also found 36% and 35% of the schools without toilet facilities and sources of drinking water respectively. While only 14% of the schools had playgrounds, there were no computer and internet facilities in any of them. The study recommends among others, provision of functional facilities by the Kaduna State Ministry of Education and the Local Government Area of studyen_US
