INTRODUCTION
Background
of the study
Education is a universal phenomenon
which allows all human societies to develop to prerequisite knowledge,
experience and skills for their preservation and growth. It is a tool for
imparting knowledge, a process by which an individual acquire the physical,
social, intellectual and moral capabilities required to function effectively
and become useful member of his/ her society. It is instrument par excellence
for effecting national development (FRN, 2004), as well as for individual
socio- economic empowerment and poverty reduction. For education to be useful
in proper manpower development, it has to be functional.
Education may be described as a process to
teaching or instruction received; a process of training and improving one’s
test and life standard. Education has been described as the bedrock of every
society and a tool for nation building (Okonkwon & Udeze (2012). Ablumanuyu
(2007) stressed that education contribute to the individual personal
development, increases his/ her productivity and income at work and facilitate
participation in economic and social life. In recent times, quality education
was brought to focus owing to the neglect and mass production of educated
people without regards to set standard procedure and process in education. In
the words of Adams (2011), he opines that the taste in education is carried an
evident in its quality. Unless quality and functionality is assured in the
system, education will amount to nothing. Thus, quality education is said to be
right to every citizen, not a privilege that may be granted or withhold by
whoever is in- charge to provide it. For quality education to be achieved, it
is important to know that the principal factor must be in place that is the
teachers, who must be adequate in quality and standard, with a conducive
working environment to adequately produce quality graduate for effective
national development. Adegbesan (2010) agrees with the above assertion when he
posited that people and nations are what they were because of the nature and
type of education they have been expose to. Unfortunately, education in Nigeria
in its present form is devoid from standard, quality and functionality
(Balogun, 2012). The demise of quality and functionality especially in the
Nigerian education system has further been slaughtered on the corridor of the
struggle to obtain or secure a certificate as a meal ticket and further build
prospect in politics (Oduma, 2013).
Education imparted through quality
instruction is not only for good grades alone but also for the acquisition of
the right values, skills and competences to make an individual a useful member
of the society. The quality of education of any nation to a very large extent
determines the development and status of the particular nation. Education is
synonymous to heartbeat of any nation. As a man nourishes his heart to be
alive, a nation must also cater for her educational system to keep it ‘alive’
technologically, economically, politically, socially and to ensure quality
products.
According to Madumere (2003),
education consumes a lot of public revenue; therefore it is important to note
that those who manage schools should be accountable to the stakeholders. The
quality of the products f education is part of the accountability. The wastage
in the education sector and the fast falling standard of education in Nigeria
has made it imperative for quality control measure to be constantly examined.
This study thus set out to investigate quality control and student’s academic
performance in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis.
Statement
of the Problem
The rapid growth in Nigerian
population alongside with the alarming rate of civilization, westernization and
social awareness have placed education on high demand. The acquisition of
Western education is predominate in the minds of average Nigerian and would
want to incur any cost to acquire it. In response to this, both the private and
public sectors of the economy, parents and all other stakeholders have risen to
the task, and are predominately concerned about quality of education and its
sustainability.
The deteriorating quality of
education which has continued unabated impinges heavy traumatic effects on
Nigerian citizens and the nation as a whole (Adewuya, 2002; Alumoda, 2006 and
Ezenwafor, 2006). As noted by Gidado (2003) indicators of declining quality and
wastages include high dropout, failure rates, rampant examination malpractices
and low performance in national survey of achievement. Effective school quality
reform that can stand the text of time must go beyond quality control
practices. Without quality, education becomes a waste, products become largely
counter-productive, half-baked and of little relevant to the nation’s
socio-political and economic development.
It is in line of the foregoing that
the researcher’s intent to investigate the quality, control and students’
academic performance in seniors secondary school in Ilorin metropolis.
Purpose
of the Study
The purpose of this study is to :
investigate the relationship between quality control and students’ academic
performance in seniors secondary school in Ilorin metropolis.

significant relationship between quality control and students’ academic
performance in Ilorin metropolis.
Operational
Hypotheses
HO1:

between school administration and students’ academic performance in senior
secondary schools n Ilorin metropolis.
HO2:
There is no significant relationship
between the availability of learning facilities and students’ academic
performance in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis.
HO3:

is no significant relationship between the learning environment and students’
academic performance in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis.
HO4:
There
is no significant relationship between parental roles toward education and
students’ academic performance in senior secondary schools in Ilorin
metropolis.
Scope
of the Study
This study on quality control of
education and students’ academic performance in senior secondary school.
However, the study would be limited to ten secondary school in Ilorin
Metropolis.
Significance
of the study
The study would be immense benefits
to curriculum planner, teachers, parents and guardian. The findings would also
assist schools in the evaluation of the adequacy and efficiency of the school
programmes. It is also significant in the sense that it will elucidate on the
factors that at responsible for school quality control. The findings of this study
would also be of utmost benefits to school administrators in that it would help
them to measure the success or otherwise of curricular and co-curricular
programmes within the jurisdiction of the school and ways to improve upon such
programmes.
The government being the major
financer of education would equally benefit from the findings of this study
since it would suggest ways to promote
efficiency and how to reduce wastage in the education sector. Thus, the government
would be able to save a great deal of fund through effective quality control
mechanism. More so, the students would benefit from the findings of the study
since they are the ones to use the knowledge bequeathed to them in the school
system, when there is proper monitoring of education programme through
appropriate quality control mechanism, the students get the dividends inform of
quality and functional education which would make them productive and make a
living in the society. While for other researchers, the findings of this study
would contribute to the knowledge bank in the field of education where they can
tap and even make further research to establish other effects of quality
control on education. Thus, the significance of this study to other researcher
borders majorly on contribution to existing, fact, knowledge and literatures in
education.
