It is often said that human beings learn by imitation; that is to say that what you see, hear and engage in has a way of shaping who you become. This age long myth is applicable to students’ learning habits and academic performance. The teachers’ quality and students’ academic performance in secondary schools have a lot in common that feeds into the students growth. However, this education project topic is not sure if it is actually teachers’ quality alone that affects the performance of students academically. Chances are that there may be other contributing factors which may be external.

Secondary school is a necessary tool for good youthful development.  Whatever students at that age bracket and level of education learn, feeds into their future a great deal. For example, much emphasis and importance is placed on the age-long West African Secondary School Certificate Examination not because students need it to finish up but because it has become a public standard and yardstick for future academic endeavors even for occupying public offices at the barest minimum.

To gain admission into any university, secondary school leavers must present at least a credit and passes in their course of choice and if that is missing, then there is a problem.
However, when students perform poorly academically, much attention is called to the quality of teachers. Many academic stakeholders including students, parents, ministries of education, principals, commissioners of education and all have a way of driving blames back at the teaching quality but we can’t be so sure if proper research is not done.

It is not entirely safe to conclude if actually the teachers’ quality affects students’ performance when proper research is not done; there could be other contributing factors. But the federal of Nigeria in the National policy of education in 2004 insists that no education system can rise above the quality of teachers in its system.

This situation and more, I guess feeds into the purpose of this education project topic. Editors source

Good article for everyone to read. But the point is not even as teachers. And in the desire of children to learn. If a teenager does not understand anything and still strives to achieve results, this is already a plus. For example, I know a case when a girl at school was too lazy to write an article herself. As a result, she turned to research paper editing services, she used https://edubirdie.com/research-paper-editing-service for this. That is, she understood that she would write badly herself. But she did not give up and asked for help! This is a very good indicator. I appreciate such people.
