ABSTRACT

performance of secondary school students in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta

Indiscipline
as a feature of Secondary schools in Nigeria was no longer a news. Despite general consensus of everybody that a
relatively peaceful atmosphere is needed before a minimum amount of learning
could be achieved, this phenomenon has persisted in our schools.
So the
researcher used as the sample subject 100 respondents from the five different
schools sampled.
Through the
data analysis, it was observed that socio-economic status is significantly
related to indiscipline and academic performance of secondary school students
in Okpe Local Government Area in Delta State.
