Abstract
This research was carried out to investigate the problems
of inadequate equipment and its effects on the training of secretarial
manpower in tertiary Institutions in Anambra State. In carrying out the
research, 58 students of the classes of office Technology and Management
department were used which was the whole population in line with this
four (4) research question were constructed and research question were
constructed and structured questionnaires administered. This question
were analyzed with tables, percentage and the level of acceptance was
50% Low performance of students secretaries was associated to inadequate
equipment because the only equipment presently in use in the department
are manual typewriter and electric typewriter and would be better if
provided with the needed equipment as they desire more practical
training to theoretical oriented training. Lack of funds noted are
needed for the procurement of equipment. In the course of this, it was
concluded that the need for adequate equipment should see to the
adequate equipment is widely recognized in the office Technology and
Management Department as the necessary equipment should see to need for
adequate equipment for effective instruction are grossly inadequate. In
recommendation, it was recommended that the school management should see
to adequate provision of equipment in the departments as this will
enhance proficiency. Accommodation should be provided as this will add
to the life span of the existing machines.
