THE FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS TEACHERS PERFORMANCE IN TEACHING PRACTICE

 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Education is view as an instrument of change. Every nation has strong faith in the effectiveness of education as a powerful instrument for nation development. That is why most countries are attempting to adjust their educational philosophy and policies to match the changing economy and social structure (NPE, 1987) education is a process by which people are used to culture into which they are born in order for them to develop it further. Beside education is centered on maximum development of the individual members of the society mentally, socially and religiously so that the individual can become useful to himself and the society (Farrant, 1992).

It is in this direction that the government took steps to eradicate illiteracy in education in a developing country like Nigeria. This resulted in more people being registered in the universal “free” primary education (UPE) introduced by the various governments in primary school and later in secondary school in order to cope with the increasing trend of admission into secondary schools. Inspite of this, the performance of education in schools has continued to be discouraging these secondary schools in Benin City Edo State. The falling standard of education in schools has been attributed to a number of perceived factors such as lack of support to students’ teachers by host teachers/principal, unconducive climate accommodation problems and the government.

Fagbonuye (1999) stated that t he problem of non availability of teachers in schools was one of the various reason for poor students performance.
