Abstract	The study assessed the contributions of school based management committees (SBMC) in improving secondary education in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The target population comprised principals and teachers in public secondary schools in Ondo State. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to sample 60 principals and 540 teachers, making a total of 600 participants from 60 secondary schools out of the existing 599 public secondary schools in the State. The 540 teachers represent five percent (5%) randomly selected out of 10,798 teachers in public secondary schools in the State. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the secondary schools from 5 Local Government Areas out of the existing five educational zones in Ondo Sate. A researcher developed instrument titled; Contributions of School Based Management Committees in Improving Secondary Education (CSBMCISEQ) was validated by two experts. The Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. This yielded high reliability coefficient values of 0.75. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed among others that school based management committees (SBMCs) do not provide security in improving secondary education in Ondo State. Consequently, it was recommended among others that government at all levels through the Ministry and Departments of Education should set up a monitoring team in order to ensure and encourage the SBMCs to be more proactive in discharging their statutory functions. Conclusion was drawn. (As Provided).
