CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
According to Onah (2007); education is a process that starts the very moment a person is born and ends whenever he finally dies. According to Ozochi (2010), described education as a societal creation deliberating designed to find solutions to the mirage of problems confronting the society. The National Policy on Education (2004) revised sex education in Nigeria as an instrument “per excellence” for effecting National Development. Education is defined as all experiences through which an individual acquires knowledge or ideas to develop his intellectual and strengthens his wills.
Odo (2009) defined Education or said that education looks very simple and common but in real sense, it is very complex and ambiguous because it involves lots of tasks, goals and processes. Nzeneri (2008) defined education as process through which we foster in the individual desirable and relevant changes in behaviour and attitude. Form the above outlined the “term” education has no concise meaning or definition. This is because the meaning and interpretation assigned to education differ with generation as well as religious and political connotations.
Aims of education can never be achieved and actualize, if there are poor relationships existing between teachers and students in our educational system, because good background of education requires a committed and trained teachers who will carry the students along to achieve their educational goals. This is the major reason why many nations should recognize the importance of teacher education whenever they are making emphasis in their educational planning. According to philosophy of education on human relation in the teaching and learning process, it is said and believed that teaching in respect is a serious business and should be seen to be so. As a banker is governed by certain principles which made him to be expert in his field, so is the teacher governed by certain principles which made him to be expert in his area of specialization.

It is the process of passing ideas of a particular person or group; especially about political, religious or society, that are taught to other people. To male all of these definitions to come to reality, teaching is defined as the work of a teacher. Therefore to promote the relationships between the teachers and the students, we must determined the best efficient and effective methods of teaching, then materials to create conducive learning experience that will utilize the content associated with each objectives, however, to promote students or children. It is necessary that pedagogy became a study otherwise, there is nothing to hope for. In this case, a carefully analysis of any method must proceed its use. This is where philosophy of education come in and said that art of education must wait for a design of action. Evidence are the several theoretical models which philosophers and educators have come up with according to their best or frame of mental activities. For example, the nationalist emphasized on motivation, direct experience and maintaining interest of the child. This main concern is to create a suitable environment in order to influence the development of an individual. But a special aspect of the above is a poor teacher and student’s relationship in the classroom in secondary schools in the country including Enugu State. Hence, the researcher aims at the investigation of the effects of such relationships in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
