Causes of Poor Academic Performance among Secondary School Students

The Concept of Poor Academic Performance

Poor academic performance according to Aremu (2000) is a performance that is adjudged by the examinee/testee and some other significant as falling below an expected standard.

The evaluator or assessor can therefore give different interpretations depending on some factors.

THE CAUSES OF POOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The differential scholastic achievement of students in Nigeria has been and is still a source of concern and research interest to educators, government and parents. This is so because of the great importance that education has on the national development of the country. All over the country, there is a consensus of opinion about the fallen standard of education in Nigeria (Adebule, 2004). Parents and government are in total agreement that their huge investment on education is not yielding the desired dividend. Teachers also complain of students’ low performance at both internal and external examination.
