| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to identify the Causes of Male Drop-out in Anarnbra State Secondary Schools and to recommend some measures to be taken to reduce the problem of male drop-out in Secondary Schools in the states. A stratified Random Samolina Technique was used to select the sample for the study. The researcher carried out the study with respondents made UP of students, teachers and parents drawn from the five education Zones in Anambra State. The questionnaire and the four points Likert Rating Scale were used as the instrument for data collection. The findings of the study include: a) Many males of secondary school age are more interested in joining business ventures more than continuing with secondary school education for wealth acquisition. This is the main reason why many males drop out of secondary schools in the state. b) Many parents and teachers are of the opinion that wealth is essential for good adjustment in the society and as such support males to pursue business ventures for quick acquisition of wealth. This helps to encourage male drop outs in Anambra State Secondary Schools. The recommendations made include: a) Highlighting positive aspects of education pursuit and de-emphasizing on the acquisition of wealth in the society. b) Any person who is to take Dart in politics or to take title in the society should possess at least Senior Secondary School Certificate. c) Professors, community leaders, title men. opinion leaders and other educationists are to hold panel discussions over the mass media from time to time with the aim of encouraging males to possess good educational background before joining any business venture. d) Adequate guidance and counselling services should be provided by the teachers to the youths towards the need for successful completion of secondary school education before the pursuit of wealth. e) The government should make males attendance to schools attractive by giving them incentives to motivate them. Such incentives as giving grant-inaid to education, free tuition, textbooks and libraries, mid-day meals, and provision of aood learning environment would go a long way to minimize male drop-out in Anambra State Secondary Schools. | en_US |
