A Compararive Study of Fundraising Strategies in Public and Private Secondary Schools in Enugu State

Abstract

Education remains the most potent agent for human and national development. Public and private secondary schools are cost-intensive ventures, requiring fundraising activities. This study compared the fundraising strategies in public and private secondary schools in
Enugu State. One research question with a corresponding hypothesis was formulated. Questionnaire was administered to principals and tutors. Mean, standard deviation, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and T-test were used for analysis. Results showed that the private
secondary schools benefitted from PTA levy and 10 other fundraising strategies more than the public secondary schools. More aggressive application of these fundraising strategies is recommended.
