Data were collected using a researcher-structured. questionnaire on effective administration and the functionality of Community-Based Learning Centres. The 'calculated t-value (3.77) was statistically greater than the critical t- value of2. 00for hypothesis one)'and the calculated t-value of 4.40 for the second hypothesis was statistically greater than the t-value of2. 00; thus the two hypotheses were rejected.
