Abstract
This study is on an assessment of quality attainment between public and private schools in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The total population for the study is 200 staff of selected secondary schools in uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The researcher used questionnaires as the instrument for the data collection. Descriptive Survey research design was adopted for this study. A total of 133 respondents made principals, vice principals administration, senior staffs and junior staffs were used for the study. The data collected were presented in tables and analyzed using simple percentages and frequencies
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- Background of the study
In Uyo local government area of Akwa Ibom State, about 12% of 15 year old attend a private secondary school; define as a school under the control of a private entity. Though government may subsidize some of the costs, parents still have to pay more to send their children to private schools. There is a considerable interest in the differences in quality attainment of students who attend private secondary schools and public secondary schools and particularly in the factors underlying these differences for instance, if quality attainments such as (academic outcome, behavioural and social outcomes) are indeed better among students from private schools, to what extent?. Is this attributable to the characteristics of students and their families or to schools and their components? However, many studies have attempted to answer this question, and these are described in detail in the literature review. For the most part, researchers have data sets containing forty comprehensive information on students, but little information about schools. Consequently, these studies have typically accounted for student characteristics and interpreted any remaining differences in educational attainments as the result of school characteristics and approaches towards it. Nevertheless, this study advances the literature by using a data set that contains information not only about students and their parents (including aspects of their home life), but also about school resources and practices. Information about student’s peers is also available. This level of detail allows for a more comprehensive attainment of the roles of student and school characteristics in explaining differences in empirical test of the degree of quality attainment in reading and mathematical performance of individual students in public and private secondary school. Secondly, we will try to explain these differences in quality attainment according to the differing characteristics of schools. Thirdly, we will test whether or not these differences in quality attainment are equal in 10 secondary schools samples for these analyses.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROLEM
There is a considerable interest in the differences in quality attainment of students who attend private secondary schools and public secondary schools and particularly in the factors underlying these differences for instance, if quality attainments such as (academic outcome, behavioural and social outcomes) are indeed better among students from private schools, to what extent?. Is this attributable to the characteristics of students and their families or to schools and their components? In this background the researcher wants to investigate an assessment of quality attainment between public and private secondary school.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the study are;
- To compare the quality of education of both public and private schools.
- To analyze the education level of teachers, methods of teaching and quality of curriculum both at public and private schools
- To analyze future challenges to both public and private schools systems
- To ascertain the relationship between the quality attainment in public school and private school
1.4 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
For the successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were formulated by the researcher;
H0: there is no relationship between the quality attainment in public school and private school
H1: there is relationship between the quality attainment in public school and private school
H02: there is no quality of education of both public and private schools.
H2: there is quality of education of both public and private schools.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study, which is primarily aimed at explaining an assessment of quality attainment between public and private secondary school, will provide an insight into the problems associated with quality attainment between public and private schools. This report would be of great benefit for private and public schools, to expose them to quality attainment. The findings will be useful for researchers to further generate knowledge in the field
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study covers an assessment of quality attainment between public and private secondary schools. The researcher encounters some constrain which limited the scope of the study;
- a) AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
- b) TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the study.
- c) Organizational privacy: Limited Access to the selected auditing firm makes it difficult to get all the necessary and required information concerning the activities.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
ASSESSMENT: The action of assessing someone or something
QUALITY: The standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something
ATTAINMENT: The action or fact of achieving a goal towards which one has worked
