What is Physical Resources?

Physical resources are known to be the

resources made by man through his abilities andskill. The technology, buildings, and many more

products that are made by man are an example of

physical resources.



One of the modern aims of school administration is

creating conditions for progressive change in accordance with

the changing goals patterns and changing systems of thesociety. The institutional plan seeks improvement in all

directions.It endeavours to touch the human and physical resources

to make optimum utilization for the institution. The material

equipment of the school is as a body to the soul, machinery to

the factory and tool to the workman.

The nature and quality of the curriculum offered in a

school is closely related to the available resources, and more
