The Problem and It’s Background

Introduction

An effective school facility is responsive to the changing programs of educational

delivery, and at a minimum should provide a physical environment that is comfortable,

safe, secure, accessible, well illuminated, well ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing. The

school facility consists of not only the physical structure and the variety of building

systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, electrical and power, telecommunications,

security, and fire suppression systems. The facility also includes furnishings, materials

and supplies, equipment and information technology, as well as various aspects of the

building grounds, namely, athletic fields, playgrounds, areas for outdoor learning, and

vehicular access and parking.

Poor facilities in public schools signifies that students are not receiving their

rights of having a sufficiently available and well-maintained school facilities. Indications

of having these poor facilities are non-working or poorly maintained public comfort

rooms, lack of classrooms, overcrowding in classrooms, poor ventilation, unsanitary and

crowded canteens and more.

School facilities are a collection of buildings used to provide educational

programs for students. These facilities provide students or pupils with a place to learn

that is under the direction of teachers. Homeschooling or home based learning is the

education of children at home.

 In this study, Mark Schneider, Ph.D. looked at how clean, quiet, safe,

comfortable, and healthy environments influence successful teaching and learning. He

asks which facility attributes affect academic outcomes the most and in that manner and

degree.

It shows that the condition of school facilities has an important impact on student

performance and teacher effectiveness. In particular, research demonstrates that

comfortable classroom temperature and noise level are very important to efficient student

performance.

Learning is a complex activity that supremely tests students' motivation and

physical condition. Teaching resources, teachers' skill, and curriculum -- these all play a

vital role in a child's education.But what about the physical condition and design of the

actual school facility itself? How do they shape a child's learning experience?

Not because it is a public school, students don't have the right to have a well

maintained school facilities. Examples of these are lacking of classrooms, lacking of

tables and chairs, poor ventilation, poor comfort rooms and canteens. Usage of over dated

books and the like. These students want to study and even though they are only in a

public school, it doesn't mean that they don't have the right to study in a comfortable

classrooms. And i hope that the government should do something about this because

these students have the right to have this well-maintained school facilities and education

is very important.

An effective school facility is responsive to the changing programs of educational

delivery, and at a minimum should provide a physical environment that is comfortable,

safe, secure, accessible, well illuminated, well ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing. The

school facility consists of not only the physical structure and the variety of building

systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, electrical and power, telecommunications,

security, and fire suppression systems. The facility also includes furnishings, materials

and supplies, equipment and information technology, as well as various aspects of the

building grounds, namely, athletic fields, playgrounds, areas for outdoor learning, and

vehicular access and parking.

The school facility is much more than a passive container of the educational

process: it is, rather, an integral component of the conditions of learning. The layout and

design of a facility contributes to the place experience of students, educators, and

community members. Depending on the quality of its design and management, the

facility can contribute to a sense of ownership, safety and security, personalization and

control, privacy as well as sociality, and spaciousness or crowdedness. When planning,

designing, or managing the school facility, these facets of place experience should, when

possible, be taken into consideration.

The unavailability of learning materials is just one of the problem of K-12

curriculum, but the problem of K-12 curriculum are not end from that. When Senior high

start, most of school needs Facilities , chairs , books and equipment for the specialization

specially public school.

Therefore we can say that all school are not ready for k-12 curriculum, specially

public school who have TVL track that needs facilities and equipment for the study.

Thats why government must prioritize the school needed. Give more attention the public

school who has a higher number of population. Help the Department of education to
build a new buildings for the facilities of the students. Give more budget for the

equipment and materials needs of the school for teaching. So that the first generation of

K-12 curriculum make successful and to say that our country are ready for Basic

education program k-12 curriculum.

equipment that affecting the student performance in school. They perform weak because

school doesn’t have complete equipment and facilities that fit to their course.
