THE EFFECT
OF PRIVATE LESSON ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENT IN J.S.S CLASS
ABSTRACT
This study
was carried out to investigate the effects of private lesson on academic
performance of students in J.S.S classes. The sample for the study comprised of
one hundred students who were randomly selected from four schools. data
collected were analyzed with the use of simple percentage counts. Findings
revealed that private lessons have positive effects on students performance.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Developing
country policymakers recognize that education is a key determinant of
individual productivity and economic growth. Many parents believe that the
crowed environment in regular classrooms can have a negative impact on the
academic performance of students.
Hence they
send them to private tuitions where the teacher can individual help them to
study their lessons more effectively and perform better at school. However,
others believe that private lesson outside school hours are burdensome to
children and it can have a negative influence on their academic developments.
Because of the constrains of time, the size of the syllabus and the number of
students, school teachers may not be able to cater to the individual needs of
all children who have different intellectual capacities.
For
instance, in regular classrooms weaker student find it hard to grasp the
formulas of mathematics and science which makes these subjects difficult for
them whereas, the teacher at a private tuition follows the pace of the student
and makes sure that he is thorough with the lesson.
This means
that the teacher has sufficient time to re-teach the lesson in case the student
does not understand it, the first time this gives greater confidence to such
students and helps them to get superior grades in examinations. On the other
hand, private lessons outside school hours is considered, by many parents as an
intrusion into the time that children should engage in sports or other
extracurricular activities. They believe that students are already stressed out
after regular school hours and should be given time to relax, instead of taxing
them again with more lessons.
If they are
forced into private tuitions they may develop a negative attitude toward
studies, which would have detrimental effect on their academic performance.
Moreover, private lessons outside school hours is very expensive and many
parents would not be able to afford it. Although it may be financially
burdensome for many parents, it is believed that intellectually weak, students
would greatly benefit from private tuitions. In many countries, private lesson
has arisen as a parallel education sector that provides supplementary
instruction to students enrolled in the public school system. Substantial
private lesson industries can be found in countries as economically and geographically
diverse as Cambodia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Japan, Kenya, Morroco,
Romania, Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom. According to
Hai-Auh Dang F. Halsey Rogers (2008) as cited evidence on the prevalence of
lesson in 23 developing and developed countries. In almost all of them 25-90
percent of students at certain levels of education are receiving or recently revived private lesson. According
to Roger (2008). In some countries, such as the Republic of Korea (hereafter
Korea) and Turkey, Spending by households on private lesson new rivals public
sector education expenditures. Private lesson has elicited mixed response from
policymalcers. In some countries it is ignored in others it is actively
controlled and regulated.
Private
lesson has been banned at various times in Cambodia, Korea, Manritius and
Myanmer According to Bray (1999) out of concern that it exacerbates social
inequalities disrupt the public education system, and fails to increase academic performance or build human
capital. Private lesson is defined here as fee-based lessons that provides
supplementary instruction to children in academic subjects, they study in the
maistreem education system.
