1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Drop out of school among polytechnic students
means Basic technology students withdrawing from school before
graduation due to some factors. Hornby (2000) explained drop out of
school as a process whereby a person leaves school before he completes
the study. He went further to define drop out of school as a situation
by which a person rejects the ideas and way of behaving that are
accepted by the rest of the society. United Nation Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (2008) said that drop out
of school is those who could not complete a particular level of
schooling. Similarly, a school dropout is a learner who discontinues
from school at any level of the educational process. The research seeks
to investigate the statistical analysis on the rate of student
withdrawal in polytechnic.
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
principal aim for the establishment of Polytechnics in Nigeria is to
turnout the middle-level manpower needed for industrial and
technological development of the country.
No meaningful national development could be achieved by any nation without sound and qualitative technical education.
No
wonder, Prof. Uba Nwuba, one time Rector, Federal Polytechnic, Oko
posited that the bedrock of technical emancipation for Nigeria is
centred on Polytechnics education. Polytechnics offer highly technical,
scientific as well as research-oriented education to students. It is
disheartening to observe today that these citadels of learning which
were once cynosure of all eyes in developed economies of the world, has
been relegated to the background in Nigeria due to drop outs among
students. The problem confronting the research is to proffer a
statistical analysis of the rate of student withdrawal in polytechnics
in Nigeria
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1 To determine the nature of student withdrawal, causes, effect, and remedy in polytechnics
2 To determine the statistical analysis of the rate of student withdrawal in polytechnics
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1 What is the nature of student withdrawal, causes, effect, and remedy?
2 What is the statistical analysis of the rate of student withdrawal in polytechnic?
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
study shall proffer a framework of study for the formulation and
implementation of policies towards mitigating the rate of students
withdrawal in ploytechnics.
