ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to investigate the influence of student
enrolment on academic performance. The design of the study is descriptive while
the population comprised students of Government science senior secondary school
Dutse. The objective of the study is to identify whether the student academic
performance depend on enrolment using fisher's exact test, and to determine whether
if there is significant difference on student's performance in WAEC and NECO
using Paired sample t-test, and also to determine whether if there is
relationship on student's performance in WAEC and NECO using Pearson's product
moment correlation. Using fisher's exact test in both NECO and WAEC, the p-value
>
0.05 indicates that the student academic performance does not
depend on enrolment at 5% significant level, using Paired sample t-test
indicate that p-value <
0.05, this show that there is significance difference on student's
performance in WAEC and NECO at 5% significant level, and Pearson's product
moment correlation show that there is strong positive relationship between WAEC
and NECO. Based on the findings of this study useful suggestion and
recommendation where offered as strategies encouraging the government to reverse
the system of automatic promotion in all schools in Jigawa state with the view
to maintaining quality and also government should as well make effort to
provide enough funds for schools, so that principals can improve the academic
standards and programmes.

CHAPTER
ONE
1.1 Introduction
Student’s
enrolment and academic performance refers to how student deals with their
studies and how they cope with or accomplish different tasks given to them by
their teachers. Enrolment is the process of militating attendance to a school.
The total number of students’ properly registered and/or attending classes at a
school. In the other hand, enrolment is the act of putting student onto the
official list as the member registered in the school, while academic
performance is the ability to study and remember fact and been able to
communicate your knowledge verbally or down on paper. The academic performance
or academic achievement is the extent to which a student, teacher or
institution has attained their short or long term educational goals. In this
research before conclusion can be drawn one may need to consider some certain
things and noted them. Firstly one may need to draw conclusion that yet the
number of enrolment and academic performance is increasing or not. And one need
scientific approach but certain processes have to be adopted so that conclusion
could be drawn. Furthermore, in this research attempt is made to investigate
the relationship between enrolment and academic performance in senior school
certificate examination (S.S.C.E) at Government Science Secondary Schools
Dutse, Jigawa State.
The
West African Examination Council (WAEC) is an examination board established by
law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in the
English - speaking West African Countries, to conduct the examinations and to award
certificates. Compared to those of equivalent examining authorities
internationally. Established in (1952), the council has contributed to
education Anglophonic countries of West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra leone,
Liberia, and the Gambia), with the number of examinations they have coordinated
and certificates they have issued. They also formed an endowment fund, to
contribute to the education in West Africa through lectures and aid to those
who cannot afford education.
National
Examination Council (NECO) was founded by the former head of state Abdulsalamu
Abubakar in April 1999. It was the first federal organization of offer
subsidized registration to academic candidates in Nigeria. The National
Examination Council (also known as NECO) is an examination body in Nigeria that
conducts the senior secondary certificate examination and the general
certificate in education in June/July and November/December respectively. NECO
was mandate to take over the responsibilities of the National Board of Education
measurement (NBEM). Its maiden examination took place in mid-2000.
1.2 Historical
background of the study area
The
idea of government day senior secondary school gadadin Dutse in Jigawa state,
also known as day science, was established in the year 1991 under Brigadier
General Olayinka Sule rtd. during the military regime of General Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida.
The
government day science senior secondary school was located at Gadadin along the
old Kano-Dutse road, Jigawa state. However, this thirty year (30) abandoned
project has since been rehabilitated and equipped with modern equipments by the
administration of the past government of His Excellency Gov. Muhammad Badaru
Abubakar. Teachers were recruited in different subject areas, computer- and
science laboratories were provided, new class rooms were constructed, and
working materials were provided for the students. This is laudable for the entire community, and entire State at
large. The Scool has 59 staffs which include 15 permanent teachers, 18 coppers,
5 bodyguard and 18 sweepers the school has 28 classes 2 Admin block, 2 Library
Guidance and council office, computer lab, chemistry lab, Biology lab, Physics
lab, including agricultural lab. And also the school is from junior to senior
(JSS to SSS classes) and the SSS class is offering 9 to 11 subjects namely,
English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Agricultural Science, Civic
Education, Islamic Studies, Hausa Language and English Literature.
1.3 Statement of the
Problem
There
are various problem that were associated with the education system in Jigawa
state especially the enrolment and academic performance of students in Jigawa
state. The problems are many but to mention a few of them: Lack of qualified
teachers, shortage of laboratory equipment, and lack of discipline and morality
among the students. The purpose of this research is to identify the significant
difference between WAEC and NECO result for the student on science schools and
highlight the Jigawa state government to know the significant difference base
on result performance among the WAEC and NECO examination.
1.4 Aim and Objectives
The
aim of this research is to analyse students' performance in relation to their
enrolment through the following objectives.
1. To identify whether the student
academic performance depend on
enrolment.
2. To determine whether if there is
significant difference on student's performance in WAEC and NECO.
3. To determine whether if there is

1.5 Scope and
Limitation of the Study
Scope
This
research work is based on educational sector in Jigawa state with special
emphasis on the enrolment and academic performance of student in Government day
science secondary schools Dutse, Jigawa State for the period of thirteen years
(from 2010 to 2023). It should be noted that the performance is limited to
students having entry requirement into Higher Institutions, that is, Five
credits and above, including mathematics and English language. The data for
this project is obtained from Jigawa state educational research development
(J.S.E.R.D).
1.5.2 Limitation
This
research is limited to Government Day Science Senior Secondary Schools, Dutse.
But we lead the research to Government Day Science Senior Secondary School,
Gadadin, Dutse of the fact that times and money will not permit to extend my
finding to many places. Therefore, we hope that the outcome of this research
will be beneficial to these who need to know the performance of the Government
Day Science Senior Secondary Schools Dutse, and to Jigawa state educational
research development (J.S.E.R.D). This research is only limited on male student
for Government Day Science Senior Secondary Schools Dutse. The future work can
be done for Government Day Science Senior Secondary School, Dutse (Female).
1.6 Significance of the
study
1.
To determine the relationship between enrollment and academic performance of
studies in Jigawa state
2.
To provide useful information for future planning and necessary adjustment in
standard of academic performance.
3.
To identify the cause and problem of the educational system in Jigawa State.
