dc.description.abstractThis research was meant to investigate reasons causing poor performance in chemistry in kawnoni boys' secondary school. The purpose of the study is to collect the empirical data in the performance of chemistry in secondary schools. The data was collected using questionnaires. In the research sixty students were interviewed and four teachers. It was established that from the results of chemistry in Kawnoni Boys' Secondary School and at the national level, there is poor performance in chemistry. Empirical data has shown that lack of facilities, attitudes, absenteeism and drug abuse are some of causes of poor performance in chemistry. Teachers teaching experience was found not to be a factor causing poor performance in chemistry. The researcher came up with recommendations to the problem. Among these ; the T.S.C should lower the teacher student ration, the B.O.G and P.T.A to provide physical facilities, students to change their attitudes, government to give bursaries and sponsoring churches and teachers to give guidance and counseling to students among others. With this recommendations put in place, it is hoped that the performance in chemistry will improve.en_US
