Abstract

This study investigated the influence of environmental shocks and child labour on upper basic education students’ learning outcomes in South-East Nigeria. The design for the study is an ex post facto design. The study sampled 571 upper basic education students. An environmental screening survey and a child time use survey were used to obtain data for this study. Students’ academic records and demographic information were obtained from the school authorities. Frequencies and mean statistics were used to analyze data collected, while ANCOVA was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. It was discovered that environmental shock and child labour significantly influence students' learning outcomes. The study's results highlight the need for policymakers and stakeholders to address the issues of environmental shock and child labour to improve the learning outcomes of students in South-East Nigeria.
