Abstract
This paper examined teachers' perception of the role of Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) in the development of Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) primary schools in Ilorin South. One question was raised, and two hypotheses were formulated to give a clearer focus to the study. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population for the study consisted of all the primary school teachers in Ilorin South LGEA. Three hundred and eighty (380) teachers were selected as the respondents using stratified random sampling techniques. A researcher-designed questionnaire titled Teachers Perception of the Role of Parents and Teachers Association in the Development of LGEA Primary Schools (TPRPTAQ) was used to collect data from the respondents. The instrument was validated by experts in primary education and statistics. A test of internal consistency was carried out in order to establish the reliability of the instrument and a reliability coefficient of 0.80 was realized. Frequency counts, percentage and mean were used to answer the research question, while the hypotheses were tested using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at the significance level of 0.05. The result revealed that the teachers had a positive perception of the role of Parents and Teachers Association in the development of LGEA primary schools in Ilorin South. It was therefore recommended that teachers should facilitate more of PTA participation for the development of LGEA primary schools.
