INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
For obvious reason, we might be tempted
to undermine the theme of this paper. Reasons are not far fetched; the topic
most academic will say is of common place discourse in the nook and crannies of
the country and the world at large. However, we make bold to state here that
these are mere assumptions. The topic demands our serious consideration and
resolution because of its visible impediment to national growth and
development. Currencies are without doubt apparent.
This being so, a clear understanding of a
topic begin with an espies on the meaning of the term indiscipline.
Indiscipline, a derivative of the word, discipline, according to the chambers
twentieth century dictionary is a mode of life in accordance with rules
subjection to control.
The oxford advance learner’s dictionary
defines it as a lack of control in the behaviour of a group of people. Tulihi
and Bello (1980) assert that indiscipline is the breaking of rule and
regulation of institutions. According to Uwagie Ero et al (2002) indiscipline
is a state of disorder used by lack of training and control to the end.
Indiscipline can simply be seen as a mode of life not in conformity with rules
and regulation capable of obstructing the smooth and orderly, functioning in
the school system.
Adeyemo (1985) school rules and
regulations in most cases do affect students more than any other thing because
they are made by the school authorities in order to guide and protect the
students while in school. The problem of indiscipline is more apparent among
school students. Indiscipline among them has attracted serious attention of
scholars and administrators. These scholars and administrators attribute
indiscipline among public secondary school students in their state of
development. They opined that when students notice certain biological changes
signaling maturity in the course of their growth and development, they tend to
misbehave by faulting school rules and regulations (Mukharjee 1985).
The causes of indiscipline are based on
the acts of indiscipline among students in public secondary schools range from
deviation from simple norms and instruction of heinous crime infact the list is
inexhaustible. Ozula (1986) listed some act of indiscipline which include
disobedience, vandalisation, quarreling, fighting, rioting, wickedness,
absenteeism, violence, dishonesty, arson, idleness, disorderliness, laziness,
smuggling, jealousy, gossip, drunkenness, greed, selfishness, discrimination,
corruption, bribery, drug abuse, sex, and raping. Others are lawlessness,
kidnapping, murder, oppression, misappropriation of fund and mismanagement.
Disobedience is the mother of indiscipline. According to the Holy Bible, from
the book of Genesis 1:26, 3:6 says that God created the world and made man
above everything therein still man sinned-disobeyed God by eating the
forbidding fruit the consequence of this indiscipline was great, God cursed man
and drove him out of the garden of Eden.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
This study is geared towards the
investigation of the survey of the causes of indiscipline among students in
public secondary school and how to curb it. The following shall stand the basic

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objective of the study is to
1) find

will go long way in exposing teachers and other school workers to the major
cause of indiscipline in schools. And these will help the teachers in curbing indiscplinary
behaviour in schools again, as a result of this research work, principals see
their shortcomings and evolve a more effective approach to teaching and school
