Abstract

In carrying out this study an attempt was made to determine and compare the implementation of Pre-primary school curriculum in Ilorin South and West Local Government Areas of Kwara State. As a survey research, the instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire designed by the researcher. The number of teachers used were 100 (One Hundred). Ten randomly selected pre-primary schools (five) (5) in Ilorin South and five (5) in Ilorin West Local Government Areas of Kwara State constituted the sample size. The findings revealed that facilities like plastic/paper letters, number posters and charts, television and blocks of different shapes and colours were available in the pre-primary schools in Ilorin South and Ilorin West LGAs.
