      1.4 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
      The researcher, while carrying out this research project encountered the following problems:
      There was a limited time given for the research work which was not enough to do thorough research. The researcher would have covered more than three (3) schools, but it will need more time and spending of money which is beyond the ability of the researcher.
      Moreso, there was lack of relevant textbooks. The researcher could not do much on the literature review because of limited resource books, he was constrained to work on few available books.
      Finally, several attempts made to carry out interview with some school lecturers were proved abortive. They were either away on special duties or very busy attending to other matters.
