dc.description.abstractThe study analysed students’ performance in West African School Certificate examinations (WAEC) in Sabon Tasha and Zonkwa Education Zones, Kaduna State, Nigeria (2011-2015): Implications for Educational Management. Five objectives were raised in the study in order to examine students’ performance in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Government and Commerce in Senior Secondary School Examinations in WAEC (2011-2015) in Sabon Tasha and Zonkwa Education Zones, Kaduna State. The stated objectives were translated into five corresponding research questions and five hypotheses. The study reviewed literature on the key variables of the study. The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The population of this study consisted of 39,302 students presented for Senior Secondary School Examinations (WAEC) from 2011 to 2,015 in all the 71 public secondary schools in Sabon Tasha and Zonkwa Education Zones, Kaduna State. A sample size of 5,754 students in 14 secondary schools, Sabo Tasha and 2,033 students in 13 secondary schools, Zonkwa Education Zones who sat for examinations from 2011 to 2015 were randomly sampled in the study. The recorded WASSCE results of students in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Government and Commerce who sat the examination from 2011-2015 formed the instrument used in this study. The results collected from the Services Division of WAEC, Kaduna Zonal Office, Kaduna State were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage was used to obtain answers to the research questions, while at inferential level, Simple Regression Analysis was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study among others revealed that students’ performance in English Language in Senior Secondary School Examinations in WAEC (2011-2015) in Sabon Tasha Education Zone was better and higher than their counterparts in Zonkwa Education Zone. The general performance level of students in Mathematics in Senior Secondary School Examinations in WAEC (2011-2015) in Sabon Tasha Education Zone was better and higher than their counterparts in Zonkwa Education Zone. Recommendations were made among others that Kaduna State Government should ensure that secondary schools are well equipped to prepare students ahead of public examinations especially WAEC, while qualified and experienced English language teachers should be recruited to teach students preparing for the examinations.en_US
