 INTRODUCTION

School Facilities are buildings and grounds, parking lots, playing fields and fixed

equipment. It is the boards desire that the local taxpayers who provide school should be able to

obtain maximum use of the facilities, to the extent consistent with the primary educational function

of the school.

Management of school facilities is an important role in school. Porais High School is

currently improving its facilities through newly built buildings, newly-acquired tools and

equipment and even school service.

Researchers have found most schools lack 21st century facilities in the form of

infrastructure, laboratories, and instructional space. More than half do not have effective teaching

to take plans. Thus, facilities quality is an important predictor of teacher retention and students

learning. The physical and emotional health of students and teachers depend on the quality of the

physical location, which make establishing safe, healthy building essential.

The main objective of this study is to know the Perception of Students on Management of

School Facilities of Porais High School.

The main purpose of this study is to help the school by giving them the perceptions of the

grade 7 students about the management of school facilities here at Porais High School.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the examination made on related literature of earlier studies with

similar variables. These are the socio-demographic characteristics, perception on the management

of the school facilities and the relation between demographic profile and their perceptions on

management of school facilities.

Socio-demographic Characteristics

Sex

According to Gregory L. Jantz Ph.D. (2014) Scientists generally study four primary areas of

difference in male and female brains: processing, chemistry, structure, and activity. The

differences between male and female brains in these areas show up all over the world, but scientists

also have discovered exceptions to every so-called gender rule. You may know some boys who

are very sensitive, immensely talkative about feelings, and just generally don’t seem to fit the

“boy” way of doing things. As with all gender differences, no one way of doing things is better or

worse. The differences listed below are simply generalized differences in typical brain functioning,

and it is important to remember that all differences have advantages and disadvantages. Women

are more prone to talk about what they are thinking and feeling, and to demonstrate how they are
feeling with their tears, facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language. Many women seem

to be more comfortable figuring out how they feel by talking through it.

Men, generally speaking, tend to process their emotions inwardly. Many times, they don’t know

exactly how they feel, so they try to figure it out on their own…inside their head. Some men are

afraid of their emotions and keep them buried inside in order to protect themselves from looking

weak. Little do they know, that most women would accept and understand (and even appreciate!)

an expression of their emotion. There are differences between the genders. Each side needs to do

the best they can to understand and deal with the opposite sex, rather than get frustrated about the

differences. We ought to celebrate them.
