ABSTRACT
Despite the efforts made by various governments in Ghana to expand
and improve the quality of education at various stages of our educational
institution, there are still a whole lot of students who are not able to make the
required grades to enable them further their education at the Senior High School
after their Basic Education Certificate Examination. (B.E.C.E). Islamic schools
in the Tamale metropolis are among the schools in Ghana that have enjoyed the
provision of educational infrastructure by successive governments, but the
performance of these schools is not encouraging.The dissertation looks at factors
affecting the performance of Islamic Junior High School students in the Tamale
metropolis. The study focused on home related factors, teacher related factors,
school related factors andcultural beliefs, on educational performance of
students in the Tamale metropolis.Simple random sampling and purposive
sampling procedures were used to select 130respondents. These comprise 50
students from six selected Islamic schools, 50 parentsfrom the same schools and
30 teachers. Questionnaires and interviews were theinstruments used to gather
data. The data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Percentages were calculated and tables constructed to simplify the analysis.The
outcome of the study indicates that, parents’ and guardians’ educational
attainment affected their wards academic performance. Again, truancy among
students is amajor problem.It is recommended that a wider scale study be
conducted nationwide in other unit schools, on factors affecting the performance
of students in the schools.
