INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The origin of truancy among secondary
school students situated at Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State. The
schools in Ikpoba Okha are divided it names from the clan of origin in the
early state, the population of the school were few but now they are vast.
Today, among the students of the schools there was many truants and deviant
behaviour has greatly hindered the progress of the schools generally. I have
taken it up as a responsibility to find out the causes of the truancy and the
way to stop the evil. This long essay on the causes of truancy is intended to
take a critical look into one or the major rules that influence students to the
truancy in secondary schools. Some of the truants students will go with their
fellow students to indulge in watch video in their own resident.
Justice R. A. L. Ogbobin, said that
broken homes are assess to truancy. Truancy is a great danger in a discipline
school possibly the whole students in the school to delinquent. This is true
because students initiative and don’t at the moment realized the consequences
of their delinquency. The measuring of the truancy in the secondary school
students, I shall be taking a random sample of the truants find out from that
the cause of truancy from their homes, schools and the society they live. It is
against this research in the solution of the above measure of truancy and not
far fetch. The teacher should advice the parents of the students to provide the
students with adequate or requisite school materials and also let parents know
the problem if causes failing to do so, teacher should not bully on the
students, because hinder the students backwardness. A student should be
corrected by the teacher. The government should go further to make law to punish
those couples whose home are broken leaving the children to play truancy.
It is against this background that this
research work is structured to examine the factors and consequences (effects)
of truancy on students of origin and destination which will be vividly focused
on Benin City. I shall finally suggest suitable measures that should help to
reduce the evil.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
Over a long period of time the problem of
truancy among students in secondary school a drift has been a serious one which
generated a matter of concerns among scholars. This problems of truancy has
militated against the goals and objectives setup by the parents and our
educational policy makers for the education. the daily reduction of this
students due to truancy in a school also creates a high rate of absenteeism

but can do so by suggesting way to be carried out by the government and
education authorities. A student may be naturally gifted if he becomes a
delinquent in the school, he can not develop his innate potentialities to the
fullest. Truancy is a common in the life of the students themselves their
parents and in turn development of a nation.
