1.3 Research Questions
1.3.1 What would make a secondary school student engage in drug abuse.
1.3.2 To what extend 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’s 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.
