THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The junior secondary school education is the foundation of all the formal education to come. According to Friedrich Emelin (1995), it is the most important level of education in an educational system because it forms the basis or background for learning. Academic performance in all stages of education is very important. In this course of study, we shall examine the junior secondary school academics.
The children of today constitute the leaders of tomorrow, they therefore becomes the focal point of this research. This course of study is worth studying considering the importance of this level of education to the growth and development of the students. Leopoid (2000) remarked that the brilliant performance of any child motivates him/her to focus on his area of specialization and do more.
He also remarked that failure on the part of any student to perform better in the academic usually affects such a child psychologically in their next attempts. This forms the concern of teachers, parents and the government.
There is need of survey into the study of poor academic performance among junior secondary school student in Egor local government area of Edo state. Education is a tool for development area of any country in the world including Nigerian. It is this background that most modern state government usually pay much attention to education sector and allocate larger sum of money and resources in the annual budget to government effort can be supported by parent to send their children to school promptly and for the children to develop the interest to learn, so that they will become the future leader. More so, children should not pay luck worm attitude to their study, so that the aim of education will be achieved.
Therefore the junior secondary school aim is an important education which determine the performance of the child there after the policy on JSS M.P.E book. It is against this basis that the project work aimed at the study of poor academic performance among junior secondary school student in J.S.S examination. A case study of Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. the school are Edo Boys Junior Secondary High School, Uwelu Junior Secondary School and Ohonre Junior Secondary School. According to Hadelo (1979), the learner must be psychologically, physical and physiologically ready to receive instruction from the teacher.
Hove (1993) see learning as a change of behaviour which is more or less permanent in nature and which result from activity, training or observation. Gsgne, (1987), state that learning include matter but also that of habit, attitudes adjustment, preference interest, social adjustment, still of many type and ideas the first definition was limited and ideas the first definition was to capability developed, through practice or experience. The second definition is more committing because it include change in human behaviour resulting from actual experience, which may lead to attitude formation perception preference and interest. Learning also lead to social adjustment development of still and ideas. The major concept have reference to human being living in an environment other than their own. Permanently, in the above example of the road side machine the learned experience has more or less occupies a permanent state in the life of machine
Education is described, as the total large imparted faculties, trained and skill developed. The school is only an agency in which education is provided. There are other agencies of education, such as the home, the extended, churches or religion body and soon. The matter become clear when we recognized the range from in which education is provides. a study of poor academic performance among junior secondary student J.S.S examination. a case study of Egor Local Government Area of Edo State.
