Abstract / Description

Since the return to democracy in 1999, Delta Sate is yet to achieve its grand quest of free quality education for its indigenes. Rather, the war against illiteracy, students drop-out, teachers strike actions and other insecurity challenge that distorts the realization of quality education in public secondary schools remains unabated. The study examined emerging and existing factors that confront the realization of quality education in secondary schools in Delta State. Methodologically, the study strictly utilized the documentary method and data were sourced through the secondary sources and analyzed in content. The study found that insecurity and global health crisis as emerging factors will worsen the existing leaning inequalities among secondary school students in Delta State. Also, if these emerging factors are not tamed, they will solidify with the existing factors to thwart government efforts towards achieving quality education in the State. The study recommended among others: that the ministry of Basic Education in synergy with other stakeholders should fence and provide security personnel to porous schools.
