Significance of the study
This research work will be useful to parents, teachers, school authorities and future researchers. The result of this study would be of importance to school administrators who are saddled with the responsibility of finding out the increased wave of indiscipline among post-primary school students and how to curb it.
It will also enable teachers to inculcate good moral attitudes into students and use good methods of teaching.
Bojuwoye (1990) opined that indiscipline and inappropriate behaviour emanates from home; hence this study will also draw parents/guardians attention to ways of influencing their wards positively.
The study will also help secondary school students in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area, their parents and the society at large in identifying the causes of indiscipline and proffer suitable solutions to it.
Finally, it is expected that the result of this study would furnish future researchers with useful data as well as pave way for further research in related problems.
