ABSTRACT

This study looked into the problems facing the Nigerian education system. These problems are also the causes of poor performances among  students in Nigeria. Some of the causes of poor performances among students includes; lack of qualified teachers, poor attitude of the government and influential people towards secondary school education, lack of empowerment and motivation for students and teachers, faulty curriculum, poor administration and many other factors. The overall effect of poor teaching methodology is poor career development among our youths which has cased unemployment, youth restiveness and violence in our society. Having highlighted the causes of poor performances among students, the researcher proffered better solutions to solve these problems confronting Nigerian educational system and the chief solution is  an educative approach that is learner centered which helps children to be self empowered and self actualized.

The mid-wife will do everything within her limit to assist the pregnant woman but could not assume the position of the woman nor take her place, she will advise, encourage and motivate her into action but cannot do the action by herself. She could protect the privacy of the woman. to make her comfortable and shy free to open up herself for the task before them. She can prevent men from entering into the maternity room where the delivery takes place.
