Unfortunately, inspite the huge
investments in education, there had been a number of problems facing the
education system. Most of the old and
new schools are facing resource crisis there are insufficient and unstable
personnel resources for the schools. The
learning programme is being jeopardized and this subsequently leads to the
yearly declining in the students performance in their final examinations, which
is actually responsible for the yearly declines are the basic motive behind
this study, which has not gained much attention of our educational researchers
in past years in Nigeria.
