THE PLACE OF
WAEC GRADES IN DETERMINING THE CHOICE OF COURSE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Parents are
expected to have a significant influence on the career choices of their
children. Many parents realize this, but only act when children are about to
make their professional decision, usually in upper secondary school, as most
other children are left alone without proper guidance. It is common to hear a
child say "I want to be a doctor" or "I want to study
architecture when I grow up", some children also handle materials such as
empty cardboard, cans or paper to build houses. toys, cars, planes, etc. Some
have sports skills. Parents have a duty to support, guide, motivate and
challenge their children to achieve their goal, which could help them in their
career choices. Young (2008) and Dauda (2011) found that parents' failure or
success in encouraging their children's career choices is influenced by several
factors, including: WAEC ratings. The process of career choice is essentially
that of developing and implementing the notion of professional self. Children
are full of emotional needs, which requires a lot of love from parents.
Experiencing the love and attention of parents gives children special security
and immunity that drives them to creativity and career exploration, thus
enabling them to brag about their career choices. Career choice provides a
person, often a student, with an approach to choosing a career or subject to be
undertaken in the future, which facilitates career choice. Career choice is the
choice or choice of a career in which a person has the potential to enter (Kolo
1999). In addition, he postulated three conditions necessary for an election to
take place; the offer of choice, which consists of having two or more careers
to choose from; second, the incentive to choose, which indicates that the
individual must be motivated to choose; and third, the freedom to choose
Without being limited. All individuals need to think carefully about their
skills, interests and abilities in their career choices. Those who have failed
are involved in occupations for which they are poorly equipped. Unfortunately,
some parents put pressure on children to choose a career they love (parents),
regardless of their abilities and interests. Parents play a crucial role in the
early development process of the child. Through their efforts, the child can be
helped to develop the appropriate behaviors, attitudes, values and skills
that could be of great help in choosing a career. It is important for parents
to know that by supporting and affirming a child's ability to succeed, they may
have more influence than a teen's peer group in career choice. Many people find
themselves in the wrong career choice. A happy life often depends on choosing
an appropriate career. If people can enroll in the type of work that suits
them, it becomes possible for them to work happily at full capacity. In the
same vein, Dauda (2011) stated that his success or failure in the professional
election had profound repercussions not only on the lives of individuals, but
also on the society he was to serve. Parents play an important role in
children's career choices. It is important to take into account the unconscious
intention of parents in terms of gender influence on their career choice. At
the same time, Dauda (2011) found that parents reported differences in how they
helped their sons and daughters choose their careers. Parents show more
interest; Provide more encouragement and challenges to their children compared
to their daughters. The present study found that in some areas of Kaduna State,
such as Zaria and Giwa, some courses or careers are related to the male child;
for example, engineering, architecture and military works. Therefore, parents
or society do not allow or discourage girls from choosing these careers because
they are reserved for men. Parents influence the careers of their children by
reinforcing or discouraging certain behaviors that may encourage or discourage
certain interests, talents or abilities. This study placed greater emphasis on
the influence of WAEC grades in the career choice of students in high schools
in Kaduna State. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM In Nigeria today, many parents
have generated many problems such as: low school performance, indecision,
confusion and over-dependence on parents in their career choices. This is
because most parents do not mind watching, encouraging and supporting the
abilities, talents, initiatives and abilities of their children. rather, they
dictate the career that their children should choose for a variety of reasons,
including: Ignorance, good pay, good service, and respect by members of society
for professionals. The study examined daily interactions with students,
co-workers and parents. As a teacher at the Zaria government high school, many
students complained that their parents forced them to choose science subjects
because of their prestige. Some students complained that they were very good at
drawing and carving, but their parents insisted they be lawyers or doctors.
Some students also complained about having ambitions for military jobs and
engineering, but their parents discouraged them because these professions are
reserved for men. In addition, Atokola (2014) reported that a grandmother had
shouted after her granddaughter because she wanted to be a teacher while her
grandmother wanted her to be a doctor. As a result, students have no career
interest and may not have a credible performance in the classroom and even in
the workplace, which is a setback for the development of capacity building in
the workplace. society and the nation in general. Similarly, the researcher who
was then a guidance and orientation teacher (2009-2012) at Dakace Government
High School, Zaria, observed that after leading the high school Three students
(JSS3) on the professional opportunities of different professionals, most students
did not decide their choice of subjects at the first secondary school (SS1),
some were confused, others depended on their parents to choose the career,
while only a few could choose their subjects with confidence. This shows that
most students do not have a career of their choice, which indicates a bad
career choice. This prompted the study to determine whether or not academic
achievement has an influence on the career choice of high school students. In
addition, Sanusi (2014), in charge of guidance and counseling in the Zaria
Teaching Zone, reported that many parents rejected the placement of their
children in art and commerce classes, despite because their abilities had been
tested from a school point of view. and it was discovered that they were suitable
for art and commerce classes. Given the challenges and issues mentioned above,
the researcher was motivated to assess the influence of WAEC qualifications on
the career choice of high school students in Kaduna State, Nigeria.
