Abstract
The establishment of schools by the Mission
Voluntary Agencies was to meet specific needs
which included converting people to the Christian
faith and also training people who would work for
the Missionaries. The Mission Voluntary Agencies
were the pioneers of Western Education in Nigeria.
However, the Federal Government saw it as a matter
of necessity to handle all issues concerning
Education in the country. As a result, all post
primary institutions were taken over by the government.
This study was undertaken to compare and
analyse the Voluntary Agencies post-primary
institutions in Adamawa and Taraba States before
and after the take over
Four research questions and five hypotheses
for this study were related to the various opinions
of the general public on the effects of the take-over
in these schools studied. The sample covered a
total of eleven principals, twenty-two vice principals,
sixty-seven academic staff, one hundred parents and
fifty people from the general public, all totalling
two hundred and fifty respondents. The major
statistical techniques used in analysing the data
were Chi-Square (X ), and percentage.
The results showed that people associated
the causes of fallen standard of education to
the take-over of schools. That discipline has
drastically deteriorated in these schools and
the schools were too many for the governments to
run effectively in terms of enough or sufficient
financial support, enough infrastructure,
classroom facilities, laboratories and equipped
libraries.
Revelations in this study, hopefully would
be an eye opener for those concerned with the
post-primary schools, management Boards and the
State Ministries of Education who are the custodians
of education in the States.
