PROBLEMS OF
DRUG ABUSE ON STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Before the
ages of 9 and 10, majority of the child’s behaviors is directly influenced by
his or her parents. However, after this age range, which coincides with their leaving
for secondary schools, the child, especially the boy child, tends to turn to
his or her peers for advice and influence. This can be a good development and
at the same time a disadvantageous one in that first, it is a very quick mode
of socialization. From a child’s peers he is much more enthusiastic to learn
and quickly than he would with his immediate family. So that he quickly imbibes
the various unspoken cultural and social codes of respect, collective
understanding of things and a broader worldview than that offered to him by his
parents.
At any
event, this can also be disadvantageous because the child’s peers also happen
to always consist of children his age margin; children who are curious and
highly experimental and who do not have the answers they seek or have full
grasp of the consequences of their actions. What could go wrong in such a
precarious arrangement is a list of acquired habits that are counterproductive
of the idea behind the child’s education; one of which is drug abuse.
Against this
background, this research work is taking it upon itself to study the problems
of drug abuse on student academic performance in Secondary school.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Academic
excellence requires much more than good teachers, conducive environment,
adequate reading materials and sound curriculum. More than these it requires
that the subject, that is the student, be of sound psychological state and the
child’s willingness to actively participate in this process of self
development. This process has to be cast in the child’s mind as being of utmost
priority. In the event that this soundness of mind cannot be met owing to say a
mental defect, arrangements are made to adapt to such an illness. However, drug
abuse has poised itself against this very important criterion for good
learning. And it is rife in the basic level of education namely primary and
secondary schools and mostly in the latter. This research work aims at studying
this problem and possibly proffering feasible and qualitative solution in the
end.
1.3 Research Questions
1.3.1 What would make a secondary school student
engage in drug abuse.
1.3.2 To what extent does this habit wreck havoc on
the child’s academic performance.
1.3.3 Who stands in the best position to checkmate
the perpetuation of this problem.
1.4 Objectives of the Study
Academically,
it is this research objective to successfully study the processes of
radicalization of the child which ends in his or her engaging in drug abuse.
Drug abuse in the youth has always been looked at from the zenith of university
undergraduates seeing that stereotypically, they are seen as the most prone to
drug abuse. Since, the tediousness of university activities can logically turn
one towards drug abuse. But researchers don’t fully grasp the dire need to
carry extensive research of this same problem at secondary school level because
in as much as they hardly feel the logical need to turn to drug abuse, curiosity
and peer pressure stand as the two major factors that inform drug abuse in
youth; a habit which once one is hooked on, lasts through university years and
most cases a life time.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The areas of
guidance and counselling stands to gain significantly from this present
research work. Here, the problems of drug abuse which negatively influences the
child’s academic performance at secondary school level will be duly enumerated
and discusses and hopefully feasible solutions will be proffered. This will
bear upon the development of guidance and counselling methods and approach to
the issue. Sometimes age and environment can determine the methods to be
adopted in combating an issue such as drug abuse.
Secondly,
this research will also be of importance to publishers who specialize on
children’s books. The findings here could go a long way in their instructional
materials and their subtle advices to these secondary schools students.
1.6 Research Hypothesis
This work is
working on the premise that drug abuse is highly rife in secondary schools and
is a great deterrent to learning at this
stage.
1.7 Scope of the Study
As was
mentioned in the background to the study of the present research, this research
work would focus it’s study on the prevalence of drug abuse and it’s hampering
of child’s academic performance at secondary school level only. This means that
attention would be given first to the problems of drug abuse peculiar to
secondary school students first before treating those that they share with
other age range.
Secondly,
the scope of this research will be around how drug abuse is problematic to the
child’s academic performance. The health and sociological implications would be
given secondary attention.
1.8 Limitations of the Study
A research
such as this one would require a thorough examination of the large pool of students and reading materials
as it is a research that requires lots of one on one counselling of students
from various topography which will enquire particularly, of the reasons why
they engage in drug abuse. This means that lots of questionnaires would be
distributed to secondary school students with questions designed to explicate
the problems involved in drug abuse among them and why they engage in it. The
above are the limitations of this research work namely the time constraints and
financial inadequacies to cover wider grounds.
1.9 Definition of Terms
Drug Abuse
This refers
to any use of pharmaceutical products for non-medical purposes. This is also
referred to as substance abuse. The drugs in question are usually illegal in
majority of the countries.
