The study involved 129 respondents namely 80 students, 40 teachers, 8 head teachers and one District Education Officer. Self-administered questionnaire, interview guide, observation and documentary analysis were used to collect data. The data was collected, compiled, sorted, and organized in frequencies and percentages. Interpretations, analysis, conclusions and recommendations were then made.
