1.5 Significance of the Study
This
study on the influence of environment on the academic performance of
pupils in primary school will facilitate learning by enriching the
knowledge of parents on the adverse effect of child labour and hawking
on learning. It will create awareness on the importance of interaction
and co-operation between parents and teachers for the success of pupils
in learning activities. It will improve the attitude of pupils towards
academic work through internal and external motivation of teachers and
parents. It will contribute to the volume of existing literature on the
role of environment factors on pupils learning. It also will sharpen
teachers understanding of the root causes of some academic problems in
the primary school. The insight derived from that will help to prefer
better solution to the problem. It will promote the development of the
spirit of hard work, self-reliance and self-control among primary
schools pupils.
The result gotten from this study will challenge the
ministry of education to live up to her duty by making the
infrastructure available for the creation of better learning
environment. This study will highlight the importance of community
participation through the P.T.A. in school affairs to check deviant
behaviour resulting from the environment. Finally, it also will
highlight the danger of monetized value system with its attendant;
‘corruption’ because money is only useful and valuable in the hands of
an informed person.
