CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1            Background of the Study

Education in Nigeria is generally regarded as necessary and essential requirement for national development. In conceptualizing education as a process education should be seen as an avenue through which a society attempts to pass on its citizens, her culture especially by which it would have then live (Okafor, 2009).
In setting up a school, the school owner has to make several decisions and take certain initial steps, these steps include the following (Inegbenebor, 2003).
1.     Identification of school opportunities / ideas selecting an opportunity.
2.     Preparing a school plan
3.     Gathering resources
4.     Selecting the legal form of the school
5.     Obtaining licenses permits
6.     Approvals from the relevant government agencies
7.     Launching the school
The school is built on the idea of product or services which can be used to satisfy identified needs of individuals and families such problem experienced by potential parents for which they are willing to pay a price satisfactory to the owner that we can say that a school opportunity exists (MC Oliver and et'al, 2006). 
School opportunity is generated from changes in the demographic structure, life style, social, economic and technological environment. Before spending scare resources in educating the feasibility or viability of the opportunity. It is wise to screen all the opportunity to identify those that are profitable. The stills needed for successful operation of the school must be readily available (Mc Oliver et'al, 2006).
A school plan is demanded by financial institutions when you apply for facility or loan. It helps owner government to manage available resources more efficiently. Infract, owners who prepare and utilize school plan are more likely to succeed than those who do not.
The resources that you need to start a school are; obtaining a licenses permit and approval from relevant government agencies. To start most business required obtaining a license permit, or approval from the regulatory agency. without such license it would  be legally wrong to continue operating the business. For example to starts a pure water producing company you require a license from The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). To start a school requires a license from The State Ministry of Education (MC Oliver et'al, 2006).
The end of the process of getting started is launching the school. All facilities are put in place, employees are functioning on their job, the test runs have been done and all hiccups have been cleared. The occasion of formal launching of the school is an opportunity to publicized and made potential parents and guardians of the school. The objective is to draw attention to the special features or service designed to meet the needs of student/ pupils. Launching may simply be the University of the School Badge signs a well known and admitted personality to formally open the school while ensuring that the ceremony is adequately published. This may be supported with banners radio, television commercials small gifts etc.
1.2     Statement of Problem

Despite the suggestion from various quarters many loop holes still exist in the appraisal of e sources of fund to secondary schools in Ethiope East Local Government of Delta State.
