Abstract EN
Lately, basic school pupils have performed poorly in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) as well as in their end of term examinations and this necessitated an enquiry into the phenomenon.
The study used the cross-sectional study design.
The sample size was 195.
The study collected data using a questionnaire.
Data analysis involved using descriptive statistics.
The study found that largely pupils from academically performing and nonacademically performing schools have similar perceptions about causes of poor academic performance.
Again, the combined effect of home and school environmental factors emerged as the major contributor to poor academic performance.
The study recommends that providing a conducive home environment for the pupils, tackling pupil and teacher related factors, would help to ensure that poor academic performance is a thing of the past.
