ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to determine the common health problems among primary school pupils in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State comprised of twenty two (22) primary schools; but during the study, fifteen (15) primary schools was selected for the study. The survey design was used to carryout the study. The population for the study was made up of 1,200 teachers from the fifteen (15) selected primary school. The sample population for the study comprised of 315 teachers from the fifteen selected primary schools and this served as respondents. It was discovered from the study that the common diseases among the pupils in the primary school were; cholera, typhoid fever, cardiovascular disease, malaria, dysentery and diarrhea. It was discovered during the study that the level of preventive measure of those diseases were inadequate. The level of ventilation in some classes was poor, and the pupils were overcrowded; that led to the emergency of diseases such as measles among the pupils in the primary schools in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State. It was recommended that the three (3) components of school Health program should be reinforced to enhance the well being of both the teachers and the pupils. And the school should be provided with health facilities and equipment, and there should be constant immunization of the pupils in the primary schools in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State to prevent the outbreak of some diseases among the pupils in the school.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Health as a concept attracts many definition, nevertheless, health is not the absence of disease. It is not synonymous with an individual’s ability to be productive. Health as an indispensable aspect of human being has a lot of roles play especially in the achievement of ones anticipated goals. Health contributes to the excellent academic performances of an individual. A healthful pupil stands a greater chance of positive academic performances than an ill-health pupil. There are several factors militating against the optimal health of an individual. These factors do only affect physical aspect of health alone, but also affect emotional, mental, social and even academic output of an individual. Ghaptanda (2008) stated that health of people is vital to a nation as water is to fish. He also observed that no individual family, community or even country can be happy and progressive in the absence of good health.

In any school, the school Health programme which has three (3) components working together for the achievement of all round healthful living has to be strengthened to enhance the effective and healthful living of both the teachers and the pupils. The three (3) components of school health programme are: school health instruction, school health service and healthful school living. But when these three (3) components of school health programme are not functional then there is a grate tendency for the outbreak of communicable and non-communicable diseases among the pupils and this will invariably affect their academic performances. Wason (2006) maintained that the outbreak of some communicable diseases among pupils could be attributed to the insanitary nature of the school environment.

Therefore to prevent and control the outbreak of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases bronchitis, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, malaria, typhoid fever etc. among the pupils in the primary schools in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State; there should be adequate supply of portable water, the health facilities and equipment have to be adequately provided in the school, the health personnel in the school give appropriate medical treatment to the unhealthy pupils and lastly, the teacher should educate the pupils on the preventive and control measures of the diseases or infections.

Statement of the Problem

A school environment is supposed to be in atmosphere that supports life. But because of the insanitary nature of some school environment, some pupils have been infected with one illness or the other. These diseases have direct adverse effect in their academic performances. The outbreak of some these diseases have rendered some persons unfit to carry out their daily routine; and if proper attention is not given to the treatment to those diseases, it may lead to death.

Efobi (2001) stated that unhealthy condition affects their children physical, mental and intellectual development. The health problems affect their physical and muscular growth thereby leaving them stunted. Njoku (2006) maintained that some other child related diseases affect the children hearing, sight and speech. He also stated that the health problems affect the children both socially and psychologically. The parents are made to suffer adversely as they go from one hospital to the other seeking their children’s care.  When children are not healthy, teaching and learning may be badly affected which means children will not perform well in their external examinations. It is therefore pertinent to have a study of common health problems in primary schools in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State.

 

Purpose of the Study

THE INFLUENCE OF HOME BACKGROUND ON THE CAREER CHOICE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

 

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to find out the influence of home background on the career choice of secondary school students ion Egor. The research was aimed at the influence a child’s family background would have on his choice of career. In carrying out this research there was a review of related literatures, questionnaires were administered to respondents the students in there schools to collect relevant data. The data collected from respondents were analyzed and interpreted. The findings revealed that good communication between parents and children can have positive influence on the children’s choice of career. Findings also revealed that the family economic status determines a child’s choice of career. It was also gathered that parents lack of early rural instructions and training can have a negative effect on a child’s choice of career. Emphasis was laid on early training, effective guidance and counseling to be given to students to help them make wise choice of career, which will enable them become good citizens. It was also gathered that provision of affordable education, educational facilities, peaceful home atmosphere and other recommendations will help improve a child’s ability and willingness to make a reasonable choice of career.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 

Home is a place in which children learn to interpret realities (Wary and Passman, 1996) parents serve as significant interpreters to children for information about the world and children ability (Hall, Kelly, Hansen and Vulwein, 1996) home influence is an important force in preparing students for their role as workers. Young people form their attitude about work and career as a result of interaction with the home. Home background provides the basis on which a student’s career planning and decision making evolves. However, within each home, the level of involvement can very positively or negatively.

Home background factor found to be associated with career choice includes parents socio-economic status (SES), their level of education and bio-genetics factor such as physical size, gender, ability and temperament, Panic and Jepson (1992), in a study on adolescent vocational development reported that had the most effect on education plans and occupational aspiration was education. Mortime et al (1992) also reported that parents with post secondary education tend to pass along its importance in their children a finding reported by other studies. Montgomery (1992) votes that students talented in mathematics viewed their career choice as reflective on the interest that stem from early home influence and educational opportunities.

De Piddeo (1990) however, points out that the lower level of parents education can retard adolescents career choice. Being born to parents with limited education and income reduces the likelihood of going to college or achieving a professionally and occupational goals and essentially predetermined the child’s likely career choice. Home income is another aspect of home background that influences the career choice of a student. Mortimer et al (1992) one reason for this may be that home with limited economic resources may tend to direct children first the older children in the home giving less hope and encouragement to the younger children in the home. It is therefore understandable that the self efficacy of students with respect to career opportunities is linked to the economic support they can expect from their parents. Another home background factor found to be associated with career choice include the parents spiritual/health parents who love Jesus and want the best for their children will urge their children to pursue a career that will bring them joy in the future. Thus proverbs 22:6 admonished parents to pay attention to their children while the children in turn should prove themselves obedient (Ephesians 6:13).

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM  

The standard of education in Nigeria today is gradually falling thus leading to lots of arrangements amongst scholars civil servants, educational planners etc as to what is the immediate and remote causes of the failure and the factors hindering high standard of education, while we may blame governments, teachers, and children, the home which students comes from leave much to be desired. It is important to note that we cannot exonerate the home that a child came from when talking about the students choice of career in secondary school. Home background factors found to have influence the students choice of career is based on parents socio-economic status, parents educational level, parents love for Jesus and family size and parents temperament.

RESEARCH QUESTION

In order to deal with the influence of home background on the career choice of secondary school students the following questions were asked:

1.          To what degree does the socio-economic status of parents influence the career choice of students in secondary school?

2.          Is there any relationship between the level of education of parents and the career choice of students in secondary schools?

3.          Does the size of a home have any influence on the choice of career of secondary school students?

4.          Is there any relationship between living condition at home and choice of career of students?

5.          To what extend does the ability and temperament of parents affect the choice of career of students?

Home is the bedrock of the child’s socialization processes. A child starts to learn even right from its mother womb and as such as it is born to this world (2 Timothy 2:15) as Gods creature, made in God’s image, the child does not learn in vacuum but rather is active by learning, in a society of humans who influence his guess such society embodies the home which the family belongs to and school source of western education. It is observed that the choice of career of students in secondary school can be denied by their parent’s socio-economic status, level of educational, family size of the parent ability.  It is therefore the purpose of this study to investigate the impact of home background on the choice of career of students in secondary schools.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY      

Students succeed in school when certain factors are put in place or put under control, some of these includes ensuring that the child feeds well at home, get enough rest, does his home work has his work checked by both his teachers and parents, has his school materials, gets adequate encouragement from their parents, useful information should be given the child to guide futures generation of choice of career. In the light of the above, the students will assist parents to have insight into the behavior and needs of their children. The study intends to reveal the factors that impedes or enhance the choice of students in secondary schools.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This study is restricted to secondary schools in Esan Central local government area of Edo State. In the realization of similar condition facing most students in other secondary schools in Edo State the survey shall focus on students in their first year and final year of studies.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

In schools, bullying occurs in all areas. It can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, thought it more often occurs in recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and waiting for buses, classes that require group work or after school activities. Bullying in school sometimes consist of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders, who, in some cases want to avoid becoming the next victim. School bullying is a widespread issue that affects secondary school students in three essential parts of their lives; psychologically, educationally and professionally. Bullying is a sort of aggressive behaviour against others such as, verbal by calling nasty names, physical by kicking, pushing or tripping up and social by everyone stopped talking to you.

Academic achievement is the first aspect which influences bullying at school. therefore, bullied children live within fear, self-blame,  feel weak and it affects their personality traits and self-confidence, so this situation makes them unable to study well and they might hate going to school. Furthermore, they will lose their opportunities to participate with others or enjoy school activities. Hence, they will gain less academic performance and low educational attainment. There is a strong relationship between bullying and school quality such as class size, lack of library, sports facilities. Both bullies and victims feel more negative about school, and persistent bullying may lead to stress and depression. Bullying can lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, hopelessness and isolation. Children miss lessons or are scared to attend school. They lose concentration when they do attend. Some of the effects last long after the bullying, until they are adults.

One adverse effect of bullying is that it also leads to suicide. While suicide is rare in bullied children, the other effects of bullying are also devastating and last well beyond the time when the child is actually bullied. Many schools have a zero tolerance policy towards bullying, but sometimes have difficulty identifying the victims and the abusers because children are afraid to come forward. Bullying causes long-term problems such as depression and anxiety. In his essay “The long term effects of bullying”, psychologist Mark Dombeck relays his own bullying experiences as a child, as well as the experience of his patients and then, asserts that the anger, anxiety, and depression of that moment often lingers into adulthood, causing problems with keeping a job, forming relationship and even continued victimization in abusive relationship or work environment.

Students who are bullied cannot concentrate in schools, so their grades may be a warning sign that a student is being bullied. A child’s grade may also suffer if he or she misses a lot of school due to bullying. Children who are bullied will complain of headaches, stomachaches, and overall fatigue. This issues are usually caused by mental anguish that manifest in physical ailments. Students who are bullied often use physical complaints to get out of school. additionally, they may avoid infectious from holding crime during the day. A particularly unfortunate effect of bullying is that some children who are bullied go on to victimize and harass other children. In the same way that some student begin to bully at school because they are bullied at home, children who are bullied at school will begin to look for children more vulnerable than they are to bully. It is an effort to exert any power they may have over someone more vulnerable. A bullied children, may, at the demand of his own bully become a bully to another child.

In the light of this problem, the study is designed to assist students, teachers, parents, and concerned bodies on how to avoid bullying in some selected secondary school in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In most developing countries of the world education is seen as an important instrument of change that could foster the socio-economic and political development. The need has led to the expansion of education to provide the much needed manpower. In other words, education plays a very important role in the development of nay nation and therefore occupies a position of high priority in the mind of its citizens. As recognized by Harrison (1974) the speed and facility with which any society progress toward solution to its political, social and economic problems are directed and positively related to the quality and quantity of education available to its people in other words the survival of any nation depends upon the effectiveness of its education enterprises.

Primarily education is the first stage of education and is acceptable key to success or failure of the whole educational system.

The primary school is recognized as a spring board to secondary and higher education particularly in Nigeria. Primary school level can be regarded as an instrument in socio-economic development process. Ti this end substantial sum of money are embarked in Nigeria government annual budget for the provision of education services in recognition of the importance of the primary school education to the federal government of Nigeria accorded it a place in the new national policy on education formulated in 1977 and reviewed in 1981.

The schools are becoming large and consequently more bureaucratic. A large number of teachers are either unqualified thereby placing a greater burden on the school heads who are trying to coordinate the school activity. The school system in Nigeria is a major industry catering for the mass education of its citizens to meet the demand and challenges of a changing world consequently the school system has become very complex requiring that report and budget for the various activity and program geared toward the maximum utilization of the scare resources goals these responsibility according to Aderoimu and Ehimentalor (1941) is primary those of administration and supervision in Nigeria for instance the Universal Primary Education school in 1955 opened that gateway to educational expansion although it was first practice in the scheme in the western region other regional government soon borrowed the idea. The introduction of the scheme in western region increased significantly the number of schools which are required to be inspected. Subsequently, military government in Nigeria sustained the idea it wax therefore not surprising when in 1976 then military government of Nigeria Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo declared free Universal Primary Education through out the country, coupled with this is the recent one also launched by retainers Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo free Universal Basic Education in the year 2000 throughout the country.

Free education should be provided for all citizens of age from primary to junior secondary schools level to foster rapid economic development, the aim of the scheme was to effect national development. The high increased in the number of teachers required for the programme to cope with the increase in the number of teacher to enhance teaching learning activities in the classroom. In Nigeria, the geographical division are on local government basis and each local government area office is headed by a Chief Inspector of Education. There are other subordinate workers working with the Chief Inspector among who are the Inspector of school.

Inspection was defined by Wiles (1969) pg. 46 as assistance in the development of a better teaching learning situation. Inspection therefore is recognized as a vital ingredient in enable the teaching learning process to thrive since it exports for the primary aim and improving the instructional programme of the school. Hence, good supervision is a pre-condition for an effective pupils’ teachers relationship which is indispensable for the success of any educational system. With the new 6-3-3-4 system and the ever growing demand for education there is the need for functional types of school inspection that would contributes of improving and maintaining standard in our school bases on the foregoing consideration the main objective of supervision in school has been spelt out as follows;

The establishment and maintenance of standard the control, comparison and corrective action for the purpose of attaining specific overall objective of the educational system. Ogunsaju (1983) education supervision perception and practice in Nigeria.

Inspite of the fact that some form of supervision is sometimes carried out by inspectors of education, headmaster and other to check the teaching learning process in the classroom, the Nigeria child having spent about six years in the primary school of twelve years including secondary school still perform relatively poor. There are good numbers of pupils who fail in the common entrance examination or West Africa School Certificate Examination with many getting a pass grade. It is therefore asserted that if the function of school inspections and the role of headmaster are properly spelt out, school in Edo State in particular Oredo which L.G.A. at the primary school level which is the block of a child education level help in maintain and improving standard in later years.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

       It is an accepted fact that children learned reflective, that is their moral conscience in works and that they waver in their obligation and attitude when they obey instructions. It is either because they have not the least doubt as to the importance of the command they have received or that they fear being reprimanded or punished for such disobedience. Adeyemi (1978) said that indiscipline is a behaviour among pupils who are maturing, seeking independence and looking for recognition as individuals. It may manifest itself in stealing, fighting resistance of authority, vandalism, shop lifting and truancy, noise making, examination malpractice etc.

We are aware that growth in crime, especially robbing with violence. Children delinquency and nation are all problems associated with indiscipline. There is a steady growth of vandalism in our schools and even at home. It is now fashionable in the country for school children to engage in all forms of indiscipline. All learning contains a measure of discipline the pupils is a learner and he is only too part of the community in which he lives (home and in the school). From the time a child first enters school and until he leaves it, his behaviour to a large extent is influenced by the growth change going on in his body. The child now needs to be guided or what he should do by parents, teachers and school authorities concerned.

Indiscipline among pupils in schools makes teaching uninteresting, especially when some children misbehave in schools. Teachers find it very hard to punish the children so as to deter them from such behaviour.
