THE EFFECT OF INADEQUATE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES ON THE TRAINING OF OFFICE TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT STUDENTS (A CASE STUDY OF OFFICE TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT (OTM) OSISATECH, ENUGU)
ABSTRACT
This research work is an attempt to bring light to the effect of inadequate educational facilities on the training of office technology and management (A case study of office technology and management (OTM) OSISATECH Enugu). The researcher formulated ten research questions to help achieve objectives. Due to the limited resources of the researchers a sample was used to the study. The questionnaire was used to obtain the information from the research subject percentages and tables are used in the analysis. The analysis of collected data revealed that the introduction of educational facilities will improve the academic performance of the students, the department should endeavor to provide computers, photocopying machines, stapling machine, automatic mailing machine, etc. are found to be useful. The institute should employ experts who should teach these new facilities. The researcher therefore conclude that students should learn how to handle these facilities hence they will face the same equipment outside the institution. Based on the above, I therefore recommend among others that institute of higher learning equipped if they wish to produce efficient and well equip managers to meet further challenges of business word.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0    INTRODUCTION
1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Our Saviour Institute of Science Agriculture and Technology (OSISATECH) being the case study of this write up is a great polytechnic of price among others. This great institution was established in the year 1989 at the time of its establishment greater hands of Europeans were willing to give optimum management to the school affairs .this they did by equipping the created department with enough equipment for the student effectiveness and efficiency.
Among the department that really equipped them was office technology and management department. This department wall fully equipped with major equipment of the department.
However, as time went by as the need of number of students offering course - office technology and management (OTM) increased tremendously for above the number of facilities, the increase in the number of students without a commensurate increase in the number of equipment surely had adverse effect on the students or standards achievement of the students the teachers who have to work with inadequate tools.
Educational facilities are those equipment used by both lecturers and students to make learning easy and simple, as time comes to the modern technological world the facilities are modernized and should be acquired in order to study without tears. With time and technological growth, business organizations are overboard on the work of office technology and management due to increasing commercial private transaction and activities which ensure effective, efficient and continuous study. This is a frame of reference on which cities are concluded. The use of educational facilities in every school is today the driving forces for changes. Man has been using facilities in one way or the other throughout the history of man’s existence. In recognition of the facilities, the government has introduced them to all private schools, colleges and polytechnics as well as universities. The need of imparting this facilities like computer, typewriters to the students is for them to have the foresight of its usage in schools, private offices and this is recommended in many instances, for students planning to enter the business world at any level and in any capacity to be exposed on its manipulation. This will also enhance their chances in the country’s educational system hence we have gone clear in technological advancement.
1.2    Statement of the Problems
The department of office technology and management of OSISATECH, Enugu was established in 1989, ever since the said time, the department was poised to produce competent and high qualified managers to handle duties in various offices.
