Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the roles of Taraba state
Primary Education Board in the development of sports in primary schools
in the state. Four different indices of sport development were considered.
They included, funding, personnel, sports programmes and facilities and
equipment. One major hypothesis and four sub-hypotheses were
formulated. Relevant related literature were reviewed under some subheadings.
Ex-post-facto research design was used, questionnaire was used for
data collection; the instrument was vetted for face and content validity.
Six hundred and eighty four (684) questionnaire were administered to the
respondents and five hundred and sixty (81.87%) were duly filled and
returned. The data collected were analyzed using Descriptive statistics
and Pearsons product moment correlation coefficient.
The findings revealed that there were no significant relationships
between funding, sports programme, facilities and equipment and
personnel and the development of sports in the primary schools in Taraba
state. This means that all the indices for sports development were either
lacking or grossly inadequate.
Based on the findings of this study, the researcher recommended
among others the following measures. There should be
improved/adequate budgetary provision of standard sports facilities and
equipment, and the employment of competent, qualified and experienced
staff in the management of sports in the primary schools.
