The purpose of this study is to ascertain the adequacy of learning facilities for implementing entrepreneurship education programme in secondary schools. It was a descriptive survey carried out in Anambra State of Nigeria. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The population of the study comprised all the 3,286 teachers and 252 principals in all the public secondary schools in the State. The sample for the study was 585 Stratified sampling technique was used in the sample selection. A researcher–developed instrument was used in data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts. The instrument is a checklist and required no reliability test since each facility on the list is specific in purpose and its presence on the list needs not depend on any reliability. The researcher together with six (6) research assistants administered the instrument. Simple percentage was used to answer the research question while chi-square statistic at 0.05 level of confidence was be used in testing the hypothesis. Findings of the study indicated that learning facilities for implementing the entrepreneurship education programme in the State are inadequate. It was therefore recommended that communities where the school is situated should help in providing needed facilities for the teaching of entrepreneurship education through community based programmes.
