dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting the attrition of accounting students in Oyo State Secondary Schools. Applying his long teaching experience as an accounting teacher, the researcher, traced the background of the problem to the early and formal business education programme in the defunct Western Region. Six null hypotheses were postulated based on the researcher's observation of the rate of enrolment in accounting in two-sampled schools - one in a city and the other in a rural area. using 20 selected secondary schools on the basis of their strategic location, the study took 389 samples from all class five students who enrolled during 1985/86 for West African School Certificate Examinations (WASCE). Those who have dropped accounting formed the experimental group while those stayers were noted as the control group. Among the main factors comprising 32 variables and subvariables, six factors emerged significant within 0.05 level having employed Chi-Square for the statistical analysis. They were, academic background in Accounting; academic aspirations; parent-guardian-counselling; teacher's attitude; his availability, and school library conditions. Suggestions were offered ranging from the provision of sound background knowledge in accounting; the employment of stable, trained and qualified accounting teachers; the establishment of curriculum planning committee for business subjects and co-operative education and supplying suitable vii teaching aids. It is also recommended that itinerant career guidance counsellor programme should be established in the state secondary schools. The study finally recommended similar research in the office education subjects such as shorthand and typewriting.en_US
