Abstract

The study determined the frequency at which children trafficking and child forced labour activities are being practiced in Osun State, and examined the vulnerability of children trafficked and exposed to forced labour in the study area. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Primary data (quantitative and qualitative) involving the use of questionnaire and in-depth interview guide are sourced. In-depth interview was held with 10 senior members of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Child Development (MWACD), Director General, Deputy/Assistant Director General and Confidential Secretary of National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP) and One Divisional Police Officer (DPO). For the quantitative data, 240 copies of semi-structured questionnaire were administered to respondents selected through convenience sampling, from 12 locations in the three senatorial districts. Three instruments were used for the study; namely Forced labour Activities Checklist (CLAC) Osun State Child Trafficking and Labour Control Regulation Questionnaire (CLCRQ) for vulnerability indicators and Detection Strata Interview Guide (DS-IG). The data collected were analysed using appropriate inferential and descriptive analysis. Findings on the frequency at which child trafficking and child forced labour activities are being practiced in Osun State revealed that The Child Acts Law has a stake in ensuring that the menace is reduced. Also, the Osun State government is making effort to bring about a drastic reduction to the issues such as awareness and time-to-time sensitization. Results on the factors predisposing children into vulnerability Osun State revealed that factors such as poverty (x ̅ =1.30), poor parenting (x ̅ =1.32), ignorance / illiteracy (x ̅ =1.35), and parental economic benefits from the act (x ̅ =1.59) frequently predispose children into vulnerability of child trafficking and forced labour in Osun State. The study concluded that child trafficking and forced labour are prevalent and frequent practices in Osun State.Keywords: Child; Trafficking; Forced Labour; Predisposing; Pre-School

Abstract

Purpose – This study examined the factors affecting the academic performance of primary school pupils in Osun State, Nigeria. Specifically, it investigated the influence of parents’ socioeconomic status, educational background, occupation, parenting styles, and family structure, size, and background on pupils’ academic performance. Methodology – The study adopted a correlational descriptive survey design. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 100 pupils from four Local Government Areas across the senatorial districts of Osun State. Four schools were selected from each LGA, comprising both private and public schools, and 25 pupils were randomly selected from each school. Data were collected using the Pupils’ Questionnaire on Academic Performance and Socioeconomic Status of Parents (PQAPSSP). The instrument’s reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha, which yielded 0.78. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and decision rate. Findings – Five major factors positively influenced pupils’ academic performance: authoritative parenting style, small class size, adequate school resources, stable parental occupation, and nuclear family structure. The absence of these factors was associated with poor academic performance. The study further showed that parents’ socioeconomic status significantly contributed to pupils’ cognitive development and academic success. Novelty – This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the correlation between parental socioeconomic status and pupils’ academic performance in Osun State. Significance – The findings would benefit pupils, parents, teachers, educational planners, and other stakeholders seeking to improve academic performance in primary schools.
