The purpose of the study was to compare the level of administrative support being provided for the teaching and learning of Physical Education (P.E.) and sports between the Senior High Schools and the Colleges of Education in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. The descriptive design was utilized for the study. A total of 180 students, 35 tutors and 45 administrative personnel, totalling 260 respondents were selected for the study. A quota system was used to sample twenty students from each of the six Senior High Schools and the three Colleges of Education, while the purposive sampling was employed for the tutors and administrators. Three different sets of questionnaires were developed by the researcher for the three categories of respondents. The questionnaire was rated on a five point Likert scale. The questionnaire was pilot tested on Students, Physical Education Tutors and Administrators in a Senior High School and a College of Education in the Offinso Municipality, and it yielded a reliability co-efficient of 0.86. Independent sample t-test was used for the data analysis. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between Senior High Schools and Colleges of Education on funding- t (33) =.47, p>.05, personnel – t (33) = .73, p>.05 and scheduling of P.E. periods- t (33) =1.51, p>.05. But there were significant differences in facilities and equipment- t (33) =.45, p<.05, provision of textbooks- t (33) =1.77, p<.05, and changing room- t (33) =2.32, p<.05. The study also revealed that all the schools were government assisted and lacked vital Physical Education and Sports facilities. The study recommends among others the need for government and other stakeholders to try as much as possible to provide enough equipment and facilities to Senior High Schools and Colleges of Educations to enhance the teaching and learning of Physical Education and Sports.
