CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The National Policy on Education (1981) clearly emphasize that
“Education assessment and evaluation will be liberalized by basing them in whole or two part in continuous assessment of the progress of the individual”.

As a matter of fact the National Policy on Education in Nigeria attached great importance to the development of science and technology as a means of last narrowing the yearning technological differences now separating the developing nations of the world. These objectives can only be achieved through an effective science and social management. Supporting this view many educationist like Fafunwa (2004) and Ikejiani (2003) pointed out the obvious gap between the system output and the manpower demand by the nation. According to Adaralegbe (2005) the high demand rate has been observed to be based on the recognition by Nigeria that education, is the great for man’s economic progress and for his political survival.
It was unanimously expressed at the (1967) National Curriculum Conference held in Lagos that the curriculum hitherto used in secondary school, system was inadequate to meet up with a rapid technological changing world. Oyedeji (2005) define education as the aggregate of all the process by which a child or young adult develops the ability, attitude and other forms of behaviour which are positive value of the society in which he lives.
