ABSTRACT

This research work centers on the contraception and sexuality among undergraduates in College of Education Ekiadolor in Ovia North East Local Government Area. From the findings, most undergraduates are involved in sexuality. They have knowledge of sex education, some use contraception like condoms and they do not believe in total abstinence before marriage. Recommendations made included special programmes to improve parent’s awareness of undergraduate’s sexual behaviour and reproductive health needs. Parents also need to discuss sex related issued with their children/wards.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1       INTRODUCTION

Sexuality and contraception among students to be a public health problem of immediate concern in developed and underdeveloped countries. While the knowledge of HIV/AIDS as an inevitable disease is high among Nigerians in general, HIV/AIDS transmission in reduction measures are inconsistently taken by sexually active individuals. The youths and adolescents are those that have high risk of being affected with STDS, if contraceptives are not used correctly or avoided, because the youths are vulnerable to indiscriminate sexual intercourse, with multiple sex partners.

Heterosexual transmission accounts for as high as 90% of HIV/AUIDS in Sub-Saharan African where about 14 million people were estimated to be infected with HIV. The federal ministry of Health and Human Services (FMH & HS 1992) in Nigeria suggested that about one million HIV infected people exist. This prevalence is increasing due to high risk of sexual behaviours. These STDS diseases are mostly common among individuals younger than 25 years world wide. Several educators have shown that young people lack knowledge about prevention and the use of contraception and often have little or no idea about reproduction. Pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease among students is very rampant among undergraduate. Most of these pregnancies are unplanned and unwanted.  They are often terminated illegally by quark doctors in the dark. About 600,000 clandestine abortions took place in Nigeria in the 1980s some of which had disasters consequences for the abortion seekers (African Journal of Reproductive Health, 2002). In most parts of Nigeria, sexual abstinence before marriage is expected from unmarried youths. However, studies show that premarital activity is high among adolescents. Parents, government and NGOS have expressed serious concerns about adolescents. Sexual activity based on the board information that adolescent who engaged in sexual activity whether orally or otherwise often fail to use contraceptives thus, exposing themselves to the risk of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and diseases.

The lower age limit for admission into most Nigeria higher institutions is 16-18 years. This means that majority of undergraduates are in their late teens and early twenties. Most of them live away from home, in school hostels and rented apartments close to their institutions. These arrangements weakens parental control and supervision of student’s activities. They are often exposed to influences from friends, which encourage casual sexual relationship and have to take personal important decisions about their social and reproductive lives. Unfortunately the use of contraceptives among Nigeria students is very low due to the fear of side effects and negative cultural attitudes of parents/guardians to contraceptive use.

Other factors responsible for sexuality among undergraduate are that sex education is not part of secondary school curriculum in Nigeria and there are not obvious policies in most Nigeria higher institutions on the provision of reproductive health services, including contraceptive to the students. This study is carried out to determine the sexuality and contraceptive practices among students as related to their awareness of HIV infection.

 

 

 

1.2        STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS

Changes in the social environment coupled with exposure to western media, appear to have had profound influence on students sexuality in African. In a country like Nigeria whose students are judge to be among the most sexually active world wide the issue of sexuality and contraception can not be over elaborated. Blane and Laky (1998) opined that youths who are sexually active often fail to use contraceptive. In a study of adolescents in Edo State by Peterson and Fakeye (1978), it was found that 13.4% of male had made a partner pregnant and 69% of these pregnancies and been aborted. Gueye et al (2001) observed that previously in many African societies, sexual taboos, rites and cleansing procedures were transmitted in conjunction with formal rituals, such as circumcision or initiation. Nowadays, the influence of such traditional structure has weakened, thus, reducing the sources of social; support and resource for youths sexual health problems.

Furthermore, this study of sexuality and contraceptive will invariably touch upon some socially controversial issues like sexual promiscuity and homosexuality. According to Cameroon (1989) STDS such as Chlamdia, Gonorrhea, Syphillis, Cancroids, and Trichomoniasis increases the likelihood of HIV transmission. This research work is a survey of the sexuality and contraception among students of College of Education, Ekiadolor, Edo State.

 

 

1.3       PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to investigate sexuality and the use of contractive among students. It will educated the students on the issues of sexuality and the use of contraceptive, to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among students and to enlighten young undergraduates and the public in general on the importance and uses  of contraceptive. It will also determine to some extent the usage of contraceptive among students.

 

 

1.4       SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study seeks to identify the roles of parents in the sexual and contraceptive behaviour of their children and to weaken the interest of parents in giving their children sex education at home. It will in no doubt, promote further research for predicting contraceptive behaviour which will assist in the development and implementation of effective, preventive and intervention programmes especially issues concerning sexually transmitted disease.  This will go along way to make profound or useful contribution to medical issues like family planning, rate of contractions of STD’s STI and effectiveness of contraceptives and it will also be useful to sexuality experts involved in the development and promotion of safer sex pregnancies. It will also help to identify students who either use or misuse contraceptive method, thereby putting them at risk of unwanted pregnancy, AIDS and other sexually transmitted disease. It will also be of importance in educating the undergraduate on the choice of contraceptive methods. Conclusively, it is envisaged that this study will contribute meaningfully to the ongoing debate on the strategies for educating students on sexuality and contraception.

 

 

1.5       RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Based on the assumptions, the following research questions have been formulated.

1.           Can the knowledge of sex education reduce promiscuity among undergraduates?

2.           Is there any relationship between the knowledge of sex education and the usage of contraceptives?

3.           Does peer group play significant role in undergraduate sexuality?

4.           Does the knowledge/usage of contraceptives increase sexuality among the undergraduates?

 

 

1.6       SCOPE OF STUDY

The study shall focus on sexuality and contraception among students. In this case, this study will review the plight of sexuality and the use of contraception among students of College of Education, Ekiadolor, Edo State. The school is located at5 Ekiadolor Community which is in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. Due to the pattern of life style of the students all over the country, the result of this study can serve as a guide to what the situation could be in other parts of the country.

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Deviant behaviour can be defined as not keeping to the rules or norms of the society, or the schools norms. According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary six editions define deviant behaviour as differently from others usually of expected and according to chambers dictionary in twentieth century. Deviant behaviour is to deviate from the norms of a particular people in the society or community. That is turning aside or away  from set shown rules of political system or principle of a social, such behaviour could be seen as crime, drunkenness, indiscipline in school, home prostitution, cultism, gambling, other. It has been observed that quite number of students in higher institution of learning are deviant behaviour they become deviant when they engage in activities which are neither under the control of the school system in the society. In Nigeria society today is developing hence it required an education system that will enable the youth to understand the society and cultural heritage. This will help in the preservation of the society and the culture and will also help in preparing of citizens for a changing attitude, knowledge, skills manpower, and experience in the societies. The education of the youths is very essential in order to ensure the confidence of the citizens to the social and economic development of the country as well as raining the standard of living generally.

Through education service those manifestation can be eradicated of deviant behaviour in schools, of which a lot of bad behaviour are such smoking drunkenness, stealing, abortion, murder, gambling, prostitution etc. the eradication of which can be done by attempting to restructure the in term and organization of the school, peer group, religious institutions and all other primary organizations in the society. The family as an agent of socialization could have significant impact on the child. This is evident from the fact that it is the first place where the child learn about leadership and what it takes, here basis skills and behaviour pattern have to behave in the home are taught by the parents.

Source of these social vices are increased rate of dropout in school drug abuse among youths, gambling, stealing, pick pocket and they also constitute nuisance of the society.

There is an adage which says that idle mind is the devils workshop. This denotes since deviant behaviour has made student to involve in bad habit they move about not staying in school to learn and they move about the streets and alleges without sense of direction, they are likely to meet with bad friends who are corrupt and learn all form of bad act from there they are likely to be tempted to engage in deviant behaviour’ such as stealing drunkenness, committing abortion, absenteeism from school and others.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The home is the primary institution for children, home as perceived by Abdulganiyu (1997), Christe (2009), defined home as a place in which an individual or a family can rest and store personal property. Haven’t define the concept of home it is therefore important to define family. The family can therefore, be looked at as a social group characterized by common resident, economic, cooperation and production. When a child is born, the family is the first primary group with which they come into contact. Transmission of social values of right and wrong, what is morally and religiously accepted or condemned by the family, it follows therefore that by the time a child attained five to seven years of age he must have learnt what are his rights, obligations and roles within the society.

However, the background of a student goes along way to determine his/her individuality. As the child enters schools, he/she will start manifesting different attitudes and expectations. In addition they may be of the same age group, developed at different rates and so may be able to cope with the intellectual and social task of the school in varying extent. However, a home can either be stable or broken.

A stable home is one in which both parent (mother and father) lives together with their children, while a broken home is the one in which one or both of the parents are not living together with the children. It is the level at which the home operates that determine the academic achievement of a students in school. Broken homes been it unstable can influence the achievement of a students academically. Also, children that have suffered from neglect or lack of love (in broken homes) are known to be psychologically imbalanced to face the realities of life. When there is disunity in the family, or a difference between a mother and a father, the child is caught in the middle and will be at disadvantage. According to Blackby (2000), adequate research needs to be conducted in this direction to ensure smooth transition of children from early stages to adulthood.

Background of the Study.

Many authors have defined the home and deal fully and give various definitions to it. According to Homeby (2004), broke home is a home in which the parents are separated or divorced or are no more together as a result of death. In the same way Udry (2004), define a broken home means a house in which the parental are no more living together. Other researcher studies been carried out on broken homes seem to agree that broken home are associated increase aggressive and juvenile delinquency in children. From such home (broken home) children from this lack proper care and security. In assessing the definition such as a situation (broken home can result to poor academic achievement in student as once the child misses such opportunity of guide, securities affection and assistant where necessary).

Home and the Childs’ family provide the best and first education since the child serve as teachers. The parent laid the foundation for the desired social, moral, emotional spiritual and intellectual well being of the child. The training a child received from home is of imperative in his/her total personality formation and the academic performance as a student in secondary school. It can also be observed that the pattern of life in the home (stable or broken), the economic and social status of the family in the community and many other conditions that give the performance of student in the school,

Abdulganiyu (2002), started that research have shown that children differs in various ways as a result of variable of their home background such as socio-economic status, parental attitude to school and child rearing practices. These home background variables are also found to be positive related to children’s academic performance.

Also Giwa (1997), have also investigated the various factors within the students home background or family that affect their academic performance in school, variable such as socio-economic status, family size, birth order, parental attitude child rearing practices parental absence or presence have been found to affect social and intellectual learning experience of children in school.

This is so, because children are born with some psychological, emotional and intellectual needs such as need for love and security, the need for new experience, the need for praise and recognition and need for responsibility. Many of these needs are not offered to the children of broken home which influence their performance in school. The extent to which these needs are met during the formative years of children between birth and the age of six or seven in the extent to which they enter school well equipped or ready to deal with the social and emotional aspects of schooling. Based on the observation above and in line with the assumption that economic and social future of many children in most localities is being undermined by cultural practices that promotes widespread divorce amongst couples and brought unnecessary hardship to the growing children.

It is pertinent at this juncture to point out in spite of all the needs expressed as to be met by the students most especially secondary school students, this research also has intended to seek for how much secondary school student is affected in academic achievement, either as a result of his home been stable or broken.

Statement of the Problem

In our society, children are sometimes exposed at an early age to all sort of dangers arising from malnutrition, diseases and various temptation of surviving due to absence of one or both of their parents. Student’s life in broken homes is observed to be associated with emotional stress that can impair intellectual development, thereby giving way for such children to grow up without being trained properly. However, absence of one or both parents deprives young children of the stable love, care, security and total support they have been accustomed to and tend to make children different in the eyes of the peer group. If children are asked where the missing parent is or why they have a new parent to replace the missing parents, they become embarrassed and ashamed. They may also feel guilty and unwanted by the society, such stressful situation leads to psychological, emotional and intellectual imbalance in growing children. These subsequently result to quitting from school or poor academic achievement of secondary schools student as education require critical thinking, relax mind and proper family support to be able to perform to expectation in the school. Hence it becomes necessary to investigate factors that cause broken homes with a view to finding solution to the problems for psychological well being of growing children in our society, and these lead us to look at the effect of broken homes on the academic performance secondary schools students in Nigeria.

Research Questions

The following research questions are formulated to guide this study.1. Does the home have any significant effect on secondary school student in Nigeria?2. Does broken home have any significant effect on the academic performances of secondary school students in Nigeria?

3. Does the socialization of the home have any significant effect on the academic performances of secondary school students in Nigeria?

4 Is there any significant different in the academic performance of secondary school student from broken homes and these from unbroken home?

Research Hypothesis

1. There is no any significant effect on secondary school students in term of broken homes.2. There is no any significant difference in the academic performances of secondary school students from broken homes and from unbroken homes.3. There is no any significant effect on the academic performances of secondary school students in term of socialization of the home.

Objective of the Study

The main objective of this research work includes the following.To assess the impact or effect of broken homes influence on secondary schools students in Nigeria.

To find out the causes of broken homes and the solution in Nigeria.

To seek for solution for widespread divorce among couples.

To find out how absence of one or both parent influence secondary schools students academic performances in school.

To suggest ways of women and men unnecessary divorce

Significance of the Study

The purpose of this study is to find out causes of broken home on academic performance of secondary schools students in Nigeria.  This is with a view to suggest ways of minimizing and overcoming the problem. Home play very significant role in child personality formation and socialization, broken homes are identified as one of the factor that undermined the socialization process at home, which consequently affect the performance of student. If the concern of education, secondary schools in particular is to look after socialization process of the child as well as his intellectual development, then this research work would be of great importance to parents and educators, teacher and society at large that absence of one or both of the parent affect children educational career.

Lastly, it will be of benefit to future researchers as the finding will serve as a source of literature review.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

Though, the questions which prompted this study were found to be in existence in different part of the country, most especially in the northern part of the country, it is not possible for this research to cover all such areas. This is because the research/ researchers cannot obtain data from all places concerned due to lack of time and resources (both human and material resources). As the title of the research reads, the research will be limited to only Esan West Local Government Area of Edo state and it should be noted that the work may not represent some areas in the local government and not all people during the course of the research exercise will cooperate, hence the research is bound to experience limitation.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0      INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The advent of cooperative societies in all parts of the economy has created unmeasured effects on the lives  and activities of rural and urban dwellers alike. By way of understanding, a cooperative society may be seen as an association of the individuals of limited means who voluntarily join together to achieve a common economic end through the formation of a democratically controlled business organisation, making equitable contributions to the capital required and accepting a fair share of this risk and benefits of undertaking by which members activity participate.

 

Cooperative society is further regarded as a form of organisation wherein persons voluntary associate as human beings on the basis of equality for the promotion of economic interest of themselves. Business activities, interwoven with business operations accord the business owners the opportunity to build up capital to finance their business via gradual and regular savings of money.

 

Cooperative societies also come to existence that the business owners achieve the right results from their various imputes. A business is seen as an organisation formed to produce and supply goods or services to satisfy the needs of people in order to gain profit. Here cooperative societies provide ready markets for such products. By so doing, such business owners are encouraged to produce good quality products and those enhance increase in the national gross domestic product and income.

 

Worthy of note is the fact that business activities in various communities, societies and urban areas are the pivot of cooperative societies because its role or major objective is to see that business organisation record huge success on regular basis.

The question that does come to mind based on the above assertion is, “do cooperative societies make any contribution to business in any given settlement.

1.2      STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

The core or fundamental objective or basis of any existing business organisation among many others is: profit making, provision of public services, promotion of a special course and provision of aid to others.

It is the efforts of nursing these business objectives that cooperative societies came to existence every research work must have this backdrop, Gupt {1973:22} asserted that failure to work out a statement of purpose clearly and carefully can lead only to misunderstanding and confusion. It will result in diffusion of effort, gradual over-expansion of field covered and aimlessness.

Despite the laudable efforts and programs of cooperative societies in the interest of business operation in communities and nation at large, the following statement post out for analysis.

1.           Do business organisation have cognizance of the cooperative society?

2.           Are the objectives, programmes and business strategies of cooperative societies accepted by the business organisation?

3.           How positive cooperative societies contribute to business?

 

 

 

1.3      OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The core objective of this research work is summarized in the title of the work “the contribution of cooperative society/scheme in business”. Therefore, to make it crystal clear, the following findings objective will provide anchor to the objectives of the research work.

i.             Finding out if cooperative society/scheme really have interwoven co-existence with business in any society.

ii.           Finding out the degree to which cooperative societies are recognized and accepted by business owners.

iii.         Finding out the level of contributions cooperative societies and business organisation.

1.4       Significance of the study

This research work will be of considerable usefulness for those within the academic circle, government establishment or agencies, business sector and various policy makers. It will be measurable use for information education and policy making purpose. The suggestions in the directions and ways in which improvement can be made will also be of significance in problem solving and decision-making.

Again, this research study is carried out with the hope that its outcome will stimulate academic discussions and useful research to the business and cooperative.

Though this research may not be comprehensive analysis of cooperative society. Business relationship in the economy, it will no doubt make some revelations that would be useful to both potential and practicing cooperative society members and business owners.

 

 

 

1.5      STATEMENT OF RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

Base on the nature of the problems aforementioned, hypothesis testing, as a measure will assist immensely in carrying out the research to a logical conclusion because of the statistical testability of the problems formulated.

“Hypothesis is an assumption or statement which may or may not be true concerning the population”. Walpole {1974”191}. Hence, the hypothesis of this research is considered as tentative statement, which would be considered positive or negative at the end of the research presentation.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Early is a stage in life in which the individual (male or female) begins to develop sexual characteristics. It is usually between the ages of 13-19 years. At this stage in life, sexual desires are often at their peak. Early years are in what Bible calls “ the bloom of youth” a time when their sexual organs develop and they become capable of having children.

Pregnancy begins at the moment a single spectrum fertilized a matured ovum (egg). In a normal ejaculation during sexual intercourse, about 200, 400 million sperm are deposited into the upper vagina, of this number; a few thousand remain within the virginal and die within 3 days. Only a few manage to make their way into the body of the uterus and move upward to the fallopian tubes where fertilization occurs. Only one sperm penetrates the membrane of the ovum to unit with the egg. When this occurs, a zygote is formed. The fertilized egg then makes its way down to the fallopian tube to the uterus for implantation. The journey to the uterus may result ton pregnancy.

Moreso, the fact that most parents pay less attention to their children, coupled with the fact that earlyrs today are growing up in a culture in which peers, television and motion pictures, music and magazine often transmit either covert or overt message that unmarried sexual relationship (specifically those involving earlyrs) are common accepted and at times expected behaviour have contributed immensely to the moral decadence rampant among our earlyrs. Education about responsible sexual behaviour and specific clear information about the consequences of sexual intercourse (including pregnancy, sexual transmitted disease and psychological effects) are frequently not offered in the home, at school or in the community settings. Therefore, much of the sex education earlyrs receive filters through misinformed and/or unified peers.

All these of course lead earlyrs into early dating behaviour (which lead to premarital sex) and early use of alcohol or other drugs, including tobacco products, which could lead to pregnancy. Research has shown that early dating at age 12 is associated with a 91% chance of being sexually involved before age 19 and dating at 13 is associated with a 36% probability of sexual involvement during adolescent or early (Mominic Marchiono, 2002). He went further to say that a sexually active early who does not use contraceptive has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant with in 1 years. My boyfriend was a cute guy, he had money and we could go places and have fun. When I missed my period, I realised something was wrong. How was I to tell mom? How could this happen to me? I was only 126 years old, and I didn’t know what to do “Nicole”.

However, to be pregnant is a right that is supposed to be shared with ones life partners unfortunately, due to various reasons, it has been abused by our earlyrs today. Statistically four in ten girls become pregnant before 20 over 900-1000 earlyrs pregnancies annually in united states, but reflects some of the realities faced by pregnant earlyrs all over the world. And about 40% of early mothers are under 18 years of age (Awake, October 8 2004). This is as a result of various factors, such as the effects of broken homes, ignorance of  the conservancies of sexual activities, lack of sdelf-respect on the part of some earlyrs to experience sex, as well as their failure to take necessary precautions (for sample, having sexual intercourse without adequate contraception.

This in turn has lead to a high rate of school drop out, cycle of poverty, destitution, increased rate of abortion, emotional depression high level of delinquency, high mortality rate, reduced labour force as well as drop in the standard of living of the earlyrs involved =, their families and the society in general. It should be noted that both early mother and father may suffer economic hardship and fail to achieve their education and career goals, for example, at Texas in united states, early pregnancy and early marriage are reported reasons for leaving school, among many others, which are correlated to different specific aspects of social, economic and psychological needs that were not fulfilled (Galimbertti, Percy Anthonio, 2005). The related literature suggests that many students who dropout of school do not return.

Chase-Lansdale and Coley (1998) suggest that if they decide to dropout, 30% return and eventually graduate. Those who could not complete their high school (secondary school) education often find themselves in a cycle of poverty out of which is hard to break. Previous studies have also found that by dropping out of school, thus disrupting their education, the school leavers face restrictions and disadvantages in the labour market. Low wages would diminish their likelihood of improving their standards of living (Galimbertti, Percy Antonio, 2005).

Despite the continuous concern over the issue of early pregnancy and inspite of its captions in Egor Local government Area, only very few research investigations have been carried out to provide relevant social science and orthodox data or information for designing appropriate intervention policies and programmes to address the problem. It is therefore, imperative to advice earlyrs to abstain from sex and should be encouraged to postpone sexual involvement until marriage or until they are mature and skilled enough to handle sexual activities in a responsible manners as well as educate them on the adverse effects of sexual relationship/intercourse at early age. They should also be provided with information on pregnancy prevention if they become sexually active.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

It has been observed that early pregnancy has remained persistent in our local communities due to various contributing factors and has had negative imparts on the life of the earlyrs involved, for example, Spear (2001) affirms that early mothers are likely to complete high school education (i.e secondary school education) the non completion of a secondary school education limit the life earning potentials among the early population, which could perpetuate the cycle of impoverishment among them.

Base on this, the study is therefore, concerned with the identification and assessment of the causes and effects of early pregnancy on the academic performance of the earlyrs involved as well as exploring various strategies through which it can be avoided, prevented or tackled in Egor local government area, so as to enable early mothers and fathers as well as sexually active earlyrs who would have dropped out of school due to early pregnancy to achieve their educational and career goals.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

This study is designed to achieve the following purpose. To identify and critically examine various factors that influence and contribute to the high rate of early pregnancy in Egor Locals government area.  To ascertain the adverse effects of early pregnancy on the earlyrs and their academiuc performance as well as the local government area under investigation.

To ascertain the extent to which broken homes, poverty, and adverse life circumstances, ignorance of the consequences of sexual activity, sexual abuse all coercion and the changing attitude towards sex have influenced and contributed to early pregnancy in Egor Local Government Area under study.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Four research questions were raised to guide this study. They are as follows:

1.            What are the causes of early pregnancy>

2.            Do the changing attitude towards sex influence and contribute to the rate of early pregnancy?

3.            Does early pregnancy affect their academic performance?

4.            What are the necessary measures that must be taken to attack, prevent and reduce early pregnancy?

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS

This study is based on the following assumptions:

That early pregnancy is an epidemic and involves a number of complex social and emotional issues.

That there has been an increase in the rate of early pregnancy.

That broken homes, and poverty and adverse life circumstances are not strange factors influencing and contributing to early pregnancy.

That ignorance of the consequences of sexual activity, sexual abuse and coercion as well as the changing attitudes towards sex can contribute to early pregnancy.

That education about responsible sexual behaviour and specific, clear information about the consequences of sexual intercourse are beautifully not offered in the home, at school or in community setting.

That it is possible to prevent and reduce early pregnancy in Egor local government area.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The use of any research study is to improve the area immediately concerned with the study and the society at large. The significance of the study can not be over-emphasized. This study identifies and examines performance in Egor local government area and it is therefore, hoped that the result of this study would help to achieve the following.

To provide vital information on the possible causes and adverse effects on early pregnancy on their academic performance. Such information is very vital in providing lasting solution to the problems.

To help parents and earlyr to clearly understand the adverse effects of early pregnancy with all of its implications.

To provide adequate information to every school in the local government area under study, concerning the various methods that can be used to avoid or prevent early pregnancy which could lead to school dropout among the students (especially the sexually active ones). This will go a long way in enabling the students to accomplish that educational and career prospects.

To assist Egor local government council (health and education divisions) in identifying and assessing the various contributing factors and the implications of early pregnancy in the local government area as well as enabling t hem to develop strategies for alleviating early pregnancy in the twenty-first (21st) century.

To assist other researchers who may be interested in carrying out further investigation on this topic.

To help policy planners and organizers to programmes for children and earlyrs to know the necessary factors to take into consideration when formulating and implementation policies and programme designed to sensitize the children and earlyrs about the implication/complications of early pregnancy. This study will also assist them in identifying the various models/approaches/strategies that can be adopted in attacking, reducing and preventing the occurrences of early pregnancy.

Moreso, it would help to stimulate and draw government attention as well as private agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), interest towards the issue of early pregnancy and how it can be tackled, prevented and reduced to a barest minimum.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this study is limited to Egor Local Government Area. To this end, interview and questionnaire will be used to collect information from the general public in determining the factors responsible for the increase in early pregnancy.

It will also focus on the implications of early pregnancy on the individuals involved and their academic performance as well as the society.
