Akabogu (2001) investigated on the effect of location of school on secondary school students’ achievement in reading comprehension. The study specifically is to find out whether urban or rural school effect performance of students in secondary schools. Two hundred and sixty
(260) senior secondary class 2 (SS2) students in Enugu education zone of Enugu State were used for the study. The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation. While analysis of co- variance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 Apha level of significance.
Akabogu found out that location of school has significance impact on achievement in reading comprehension.
Ezudu (2001) studied Girls science classroom environment as correlates to academic performance of girls in science. He developed two research questions and a null hypothesis for the study. Questionnaire was used for the collection of data. The respondents were allowed to respond to the questionnaire items on four points likert scale. The population of the study was 200 students randomly drawn from two secondary schools sampled from, the total population of all female students in JSS II in Oji-River Local Government Area of Enugu State. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The research questions were answered using Pearson product moment co-efficient while t-test was used in testing the hypothesis at
0.05 level of significant.
From the review of the empirical studies, It is revealed that studies have been carried out on the issue of correlation in the achievement of few subjects and the students performance. The review revealed that such few works centered on academic achievement of students in relation to classroom environment. It appears none has concentrated on the general influence of the school environment on the academic achievement of students of public secondary schools in the state. It is
against this background that the present study is being carried out to fill the gap.
Summary of literature review
The review of literature is based on the following headings: conceptual framework, theoretical framework and review of empirical studies. It is evident that environment is a vital tool in effective and efficient operation of educational programme. Good school environment contribute immensely to higher level of educational performance. Regardless of where a school is located, a rich school environment is comfortable and secure from danger; radiate a sense of well being and send a caring message. Thus good school environment is the key to a high performance of education institution. It also discusses the effect of building, library services school location and school facilities with regard to quality. The theoretical framework deals with the theories of environment which includes learning models and social learning approach.
The researcher reviewed five empirical studies on school environment and related areas. The findings revealed that school plants, physical facilities are supplied by the government. The performance of students depends on professional qualified and experienced teachers.
It also revealed that there is low relationship between the girls’ classroom environment and their academic performance. These problems are identified outside the present area of study. It is this gap that arouses the researcher’s interest to undertake a study on the influence of school environment on academic achievement of public secondary school in Enugu State.
