1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
There have been attempts at
investigating the provision of school health services in Nigeria
schools, with a view of ascertaining whether the lofty ideals that
informed the setting up of the services are being realized. The status
of school health services is usually determined through an examination
of the health appraisal services that are provided. This is
understandably so, because appraisal or diagnosis precedes prescription
or treatment. In their studies, (Nwana, 1982, 1988, Imoge 1987, Okafor,
1991) reported large scale deficiencies in the provision of school
health services in both primary and secondary schools. This is not the
case with Guyuk L.G.A; some of the problem identified that may be
affecting the flexibility in the distribution of health appraisal
services in this area may be as result of:
1. lack of good roads
2. poor infrastructural facilities and
3. high level of illiteracy
