Abstract
The study examined the availability of instructional materials at the basic education level in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State, Nigeria. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The research question was answered using mean and grand mean ratings, while the hypothesis was tested using t-test statistics at .05 level of significance and a critical value of 1.96. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study, using a researcher developed instrument tagged; availability of instructional materials at the basic education level questionnaire (AIMBELQ). The instrument was validated by 3 experts, 2 of them in Educational Management, and 1 in Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha. Alpha value was found to be 0.73, indicating high reliability of the instrument for the study. Results of data analysis indicated a little extent of availability of instructional materials at the basic education level in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State. This has dire consequences for the entire system. Recommendations include; the various governments, corporate entities, non-governmental organizations and wealthy individuals should as much as possible provide these materials to the various schools for result oriented instructional delivery.
