CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The teacher of Business studies has been facing a lot of problems especially in secondary school in IkereLocal Government Area of Ekiti state. The problems at this level had resulted into many other problems confronting the students of higher institutions of learning, with what has been experienced in the past and present about the side of seriousness of the students to Business studies motivated me to focus attention on the problems encountered by the students and teachers alike as regards Business studies.

Also, this will involve the enumeration and analysis of the problems facing the teaching of the subject, suggested solution will also be given. Many students count Business studies as a difficult subject in secondary schools nowadays due to their negative attitude to it. Also, many students find it difficult to read Business studies textbooks because they have no time to read. Many students have this to say about Business studies, ‘I have interest in other subjects but not Business studies’. The reason for this could be traced back to students’ poor foundation in the study of Business studies. Therefore, if students in higher institutions of learning can go on complaining that Business studies is difficult to comprehend, what then will be the fate of secondary school students who depend so much on the students in the higher institutions.

In fact, many students fail their final year examinations both at junior and senior secondary schools in Business studies due to one reason or the other such as parental responsibilities, students’ factor, schools’ factor, government factor, lack of motivation, lack of relevant materials as well as inadequate curriculum. This has therefore motivated me to investigate the problem encountered by Business studies teachers in IkereLocal Government Area of Ekiti state. The negligence of Business studies has driven many students in the past to mass failure in the final examination. Many people read Business studies for examination purposes only.

1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

A lot of problems have contributed to students’ mass failure in Business studies in IkereLocal Government Area of Ekiti state. Many parents blame the teachers’ negative attitude to work while many pupils’ negligence of their class work contributes to failure as well. This research work purposely assesses the causes of the problems confronting students in Ikere Local Government Area. So many scholars have written a lot about the problem of Business studies in our secondary schools but work is very scanty on that of IkereLocal Government Area. So it gives me a great concern to look at these problems and suggest possible solution to them.
