Area of Ondo State. Are:
Most of the male pupils frequently absent
themselves from school and the reason is the parents do not make enough
provision for their pupils schooling materials in terms of facilities like

use. The trouble with the (father)
parents in this area is that they love marrying more than one wife and the
wives give birth to many children more than what a single man can care for

go on looking for daily, pay job to support the little effort of the (father)
