“…Item 10, paying stipend to secondary students was rejected. This finding is in consonance with Ige [8] who stated that curbing examination malpractice, adequate funding, effective administration of secondary school, recruitment and training of additional teachers, commitment and effectiveness of teachers, curbing wastage in secondary education review of secondary education curriculum are among the ways to move secondary education, forward in Nigeria. On the other hand the finding did not agree with the present practice under taking by state government by giving a paltry sum of one hundred naira (N100 equivalent to 48 pence) to student as stipends monthly.…”

With the low level of education within this region of Nigeria [11], their immediate conclusion and misinformation on those vulnerable to the disease were expected.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a major public health challenge globally with countries of the world adopting unprecedented infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to urgently curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of the people toward COVID-19 is critical to understanding the epidemiological dynamics of the disease and the effectiveness, compliance and success of IPC measures adopted in a country. This study sought to determine the levels of KAP toward COVID-19 among residents of north-central Nigeria. A cross-sectional online survey with a semi-structured questionnaire using a Snowball sampling technique was conducted during the national lockdown. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation and regression tests. From a total of 589 responses received, 80.6, 59.6, 90.4 and 56.2% were from respondents between ages 18-39 years, males, had a college (Bachelor) degree or above and reside in urban areas respectively. Respondents had good knowledge (99.5%) of COVID-19, gained mainly through the internet/social media (55.7%) and Television (27.5%). The majority of the respondents (79.5%) had positive attitudes toward the adherence of government IPC measures with 92.7, 96.4 and 82.3% practicing social distancing/self-isolation, improved personal hygiene and using face mask respectively. However, 52.1% of the respondents perceived that the government is not doing enough to curtail COVID-19 in Nigeria. Pearson's correlation showed significant relationship between knowledge of COVID-19 and attitude towards preventive measures (r = 0.177, p = 0.004, r = 0.137, p = 0.001). Although 61.8% of the respondents have no confidence in the present intervention by Chinese doctors, only 29.0% would accept COVID-19 vaccines when available. This study recorded good knowledge and attitudes among participants, however, community-based health campaigns are necessary to hold optimistic attitudes and practice appropriate intervention measures devoid of misconceptions.

“…Apart from serving as the link between primary and tertiary education, it provides opportunity for a child to acquire additional knowledge, skills and traits beyond the primary level. A major factor that necessitates the acquisition of secondary education in Nigeria is that the education being provided at the primary level is proving to be inadequate for a child to acquire permanent literacy, communicative and numeracy skills expected from him/her at the end of that level (Osho and Osho, 2000, Yusuf, 2009, Chinelo, 2011, Ige, 2013. Western education was introduced in Nigeria by the Christian missionaries in 1842 (Adesina, 1977) and secondary education has come of age in Nigeria because it has developed side by side other levels since its introduction.…”

Secondary education is a critical stage to the education of a child, being the bridge between the primary and tertiary levels of education. Curriculum has been defined as a set of planned learning experiences offered and supervised by an educational institution to achieve certain objectives. The development of curriculum in Nigeria can be traced to the period of the introduction of western religion and education. While the processes of learning and physical environment are almost uniformly considered, the content must be defined in terms of what is taught, how it is taught and the processes that would help in the realization of the set objectives. In this paper the challenges militating against the achievement of these objectives at the J. S. S level in Music curriculum in Enugu State were examined. They include inappropriate curriculum, inadequacy of fund, inadequate infrastructural facilities, shortage of teachers, attitude of parents, and allocation of enough time in the time table were considered. A survey of 9 schools randomly selected from the 3 senatorial zones where Music is offered was conducted. To tackle these challenges, suggestions were proffered as the way forward.
