INTRODUCTION
The world is a very attractive flower, but it is difficult to
raise. To do so successfully, you need to control the temperature the light and
the size of the flower pot. The orchid is sensitive to soil and fertilizer, and
is easily damaged by disease and insects. This is very common to fail sat ones
attempts at raising an orchid. Rearing children is more difficult and
complicated and also requires careful attention so it is common for parents to
feel a loose when it comes to child rearing. Many feel the need for help, life
and orchid grower who needs advice from an expert. Obviously, every parents
want to get best guidance. Where can such guidance be found. (Watchtower June
15, 2004).
Education is the greatest tool or instrument for the political,
socio-economic and cultural determination of man from the path of
ignorance. The benefit of education in the over all development of
Nigeria through the inculcation of desirable knowledge and wisdom to the
citizens, can never be over emphasized. Thus, the development of education
would ensure the dignity of labour in the youths by being interested in
craftsmanship. This measure would inevitably result to a greater level of
socio-political development; economic reconstruction and technological
improvement.
The national policy on Education which came as a result of Nigeria
effort to formulate a desirable education basic philosophy would indeed make
the nation a self-reliant economy and thereby focus attention on the
inclination of national consciousness, unity in diversity and the acquisition
of appropriate knowledge, abilities, skills and competences for self-reliance
whether at individual or national level. The greatest tool or instrument for
the political, socio-economic and cultural determination of man from the path
of ignorance. The benefit of education in the overall development of Nigeria
through the inclination of desirable knowledge and wisdom to the citizens, can
never be over emphasized.
Fafunwa (1994:1995) posited that education is the aggregation of
all the processes by which a person develops abilities, attitudes and other
forms of behaviour of positive and meaningful value in the society in which we
live. He therefore, unequivocally made it clear that this would make the child
think effectively and make relevant judgment. The national policy on education
was actually aimed at eradicating any existing contractions and ambiguities in
the educational practice in the country.
Structurally, it provided a three-year- junior secondary school.
