Perceptions of Nigerian Secondary School Students on the Socio-economic and Socio-cultural factors hindering Educational achievement: A Gender Focus
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Efforts have not been directed toward examining variations in the perceptions of both male and female students with regard to the socio-economic and socio-cultural variables underpinning secondary educational achievement. The study was, therefore, conducted to examine the extent to which the perceptions of both male and female students in Nigerian secondary schools differ with respect to the aforementioned factors. A validated questionnaire was administered to 504 respondents in 12 secondary educational institutions in Nigeria to ascertain their perceptions with respect to the socioeconomic and socio-cultural attributes. Results show amongst others, that there is no significant difference between the opinions of respondents with respect to the socioeconomic and socio-cultural factors limiting secondary educational achievement (t-cal= 0.38 and 0.44; p < 0.05).
