This project work is directed to find out what brought about over population in college of education, Ekiadolor, especially computer/accounting department which is situated at Ekiadolor village Benin City. It is the only college of its kind in the state presently. The college was established in 1979 as an advantage teachers college for the training of N.C.E teachers and was located temporally at Iyaro, Benin city.

The provost is responsible for the running of the college; other principal officers, deans of schools and the dean of students assist him. The schools are headed by deans while the programmes are headed by head of department. Apart from direct admission into pre-NCE programmes and part-time NCE (primary weekend programmes).
Today the school has improved considerable and the population has rises to about seven thousand or more under the administration of the provost Prof R.O Elaho. The college has really excelled in producing students of high intellectual ability to be compared to other colleges and even which they gain admission into the university. They perform excellently well.
inspite of the good condition of the college, it is sad to know that the students academic performance is not encouraging and many reasons have been advanced to have been responsible for this one is over population it is already an established fact that over population distorts effective learning and good school management.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Seeing the growth rate of computer/accounting departments to be compare to it facilities one is tempted to as what brought about the over populated situation in computer/accounting department to be compared to other department within the college. Based on this growth rate, it with in three (3years) the population has risen to such that can be compared with the level of its growth in the past years, one would be too surprise in the finding the problems of poor academic performance, lack of accommodation, indiscipline, poor classroom management e.t.c. That is so pronounced in the college today.
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The investigation is therefore aimed at finding the cause and effect of over population in computer/accounting departments, college of education Ekiadolor.
a. What can be the cause of over population computer/accounting department
b. Students easily pass government in west African Secondary Certificate level in order to gain admission to the college
c. The course offer in computer/accounting department look simple in the early part of the academic session.

j. Communicable disease is transferable.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The significant of this research work is that when the effect of over population is been examines with in the college, recommendation will be made to the appropriate authorities such recommendation will assist in improving the managing the problem of over population in the college.
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTION
For the purpose of this study the following research questions have been designed.
v Can communicable disease be transferable in over populated area?
v Does effective learning takes place in a large class?
v Does over population strengthen good communication in the classroom?
v Does it lead to shortage of facilities?
v Can it lead to over utilization of the available facilities and man power?
v Can poor academic performance be an effect of over populationi?
v Does unstandardized admission process be seen as the cause of over populationi?
1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY
this research topic chosen to examine the concept of over populationi a case study of computer/accounting department and the problem resulting to over populationi. This study will concentrate on the concept of over population and its causes the effects of over populationi on the Nigeria economy.
Although there are many component resulting to over populationi. The analysis of this research work will be limited to the causes of over populationi.
