EFFECT OF SCHOOL INTERVENTION ON STUDENT’S
PERFORMANCE IN WEST AFRICAN SENIOR SECONDARY
MATHEMATICS
Secondary school education as preparation ground for higher education
has not been accorded its proper place. Thus, Lagos State Government with
support from World Bank initiated the Èkó Project to give support to this
sector. Context Input Process Product Evaluation Model provides the
framework, while causal comparative research design is adopted. Simple
random sampling, purposively and systematic sampling techniques are
used to select respondents. Three validated research instruments are used.
Data are analysed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test. The
result shows that students in Lagos State perform better than students in
Ogun State (t=5.862, p<.05) across the years under review. The Lagos Èkó
secondary education project has achieved its objectives of enhancing the
educational performance of public secondary school students. The project
should be institutionalised to engender continuous students' performance.
