Abstract

The paper was aimed at examining the relationship between the distribution of public primary and secondary schools and the population in Kaduna State. The study used GPS Map 78 to ascertain the location of the schools through field observation. The student population was obtained from the headteacher while the population was obtained from the projected 2006 census figure. A multistage sampling method was adopted to select nine LGAs within the three senatorial zones of the state.  Descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (v25), Spearman Rank Correlation, and Pearson Correlation was used for data analysis. The 1907 public schools (1634 public primary and 273 secondary schools) were found. The result revealed that the overall Location Quotient (LQ) value for all public schools (primary, junior and secondary schools) is 1.14 which represents a moderate concentration of public schools. The result showed that Kaduna South LGA has the least LQ (0.23) and is closely followed by Zaria LGA (0.56), while Kajuru LGA has the most concentration of schools with an LQ of 2.2. The result also revealed that LQ for Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) value varies from (1.9) in Kagarko LGA, having the highest concentration of JSS and to 0.5 in Jemaá LGA The Spearman Rank Correlation with the coefficient of 0.188 revealed a weak positive relationship between the provision of public schools and students’ population while Pearson Correlation established a negative relationship between the distribution of public schools and general population with the coefficient of -0.19. The study concluded that there is no relationship between the population and distribution of public schools in Kaduna State.

尼日利亚卡杜纳州公立学校分布与人口关系分析
该文件旨在研究卡杜纳州公立中小学的分布与人口之间的关系。这项研究使用了GPS地图78,通过实地观察确定了学校的位置。学生人口是从校长那里获得的,而人口是从2006年的人口普查数据中获得的。采用多阶段抽样方法在该州的三个参议院区内选择了九个地方政府机构。使用社会科学统计软件包(v25)、Spearman秩相关和Pearson相关的描述性统计用于数据分析。1907所公立学校(1634所公立小学和273所中学)被发现。结果显示,所有公立学校(小学、初中和中学)的总体位置商(LQ)值为1.14,这代表了公立学校的适度集中。结果显示,卡杜纳南部LGA的LQ最低(0.23),其次是扎里亚LGA(0.56),而卡朱鲁LGA的学校最集中,LQ为2.2。结果还显示,初中LQ(JSS)值在Kagarko LGA为(1.9),JSS浓度最高,在JemaáLGA为0.5。Spearman秩相关系数为0.188,显示公立学校的提供与学生人口之间存在微弱的正相关关系,而Pearson相关系数为-0.19,建立了公立学校的分布与普通人口之间的负相关关系。该研究得出的结论是,卡杜纳州的人口与公立学校的分布之间没有关系。
