The study investigated the relationship between school plant variables and teacher productivity in secondary schools in Ekiti State. The study adopted the descriptive survey research. The population consisted of all the schools and its teachers while the sample consisted 240 teachers selected from 24 secondary schools across the three senatorial districts in Ekiti State using simple random sampling technique. The two sets of instruments tagged “School Plant Questionnaire (SPQ)” and “Teacher Productivity Questionnaire (TPQ)” were used for the study. In order to ensure the reliability of the instrument, test-retest method of reliability was used and yielded reliability coefficient of 0.82 and 0.76 for SPQ and TPQ respectively. The data collected were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The study revealed that there is a significant relationship between school plant and teacher productivity. The finding also showed that there was a significant relationship between instructional space and teacher productivity. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that school plant in terms of instructional space, administrative space and space for convenience are necessary ingredients for enhancing teacher productivity. It was recommended that government should be given detail information of the importance of school plant on teacher productivity and how it will invariably affect students’ performance.
