The study investigated the influence of budgeting on the administration of public secondary schools in Sabon Tasha Education Zone, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study was set to determine the influence of budgeting on staffing in public secondary schools in Sabon Tasha Education Zone, Kaduna State, and to determine the impact of budgeting on staff development in public secondary schools in Sabon Tasha Education Zone, Kaduna State.

A sample size of 10 principals, 121 teachers and 56 non-teaching staff were sampled from Sabon Tasha Education Zone, Kaduna State, making the total of 187 respondents used in the study. The instrument tagged “Budgeting and Administration of Public Secondary School Questionnaire (BAPSSQ)” was used for data collection in the study. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined using Cronbach's Alpha statistics, and a reliability coefficient of 0.80 was obtained. The data collected in the study were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance.
