The home as a vital agent for educational transformation in the 21st century Nigeria
(The National Commision for Colleges of Education, Abuja, 2019) Kanu, A.; Anikweze, C. M.
The paper portrays the home, made up of majorly of parents, as a potent factor that influences the performance of learners in the school. Apart from setting the foundation for the socialization of children, the home along with the school, the teacher and the students themselves constitute the determinant factors of success in educational pursuit. The paper highlights the various ways in which the home influences the academic performance of learners and argues that educational transformation in the 21st century could be facilitated if the home is duly involved, both in policy formulation and in implementation process. Recommendations to back up this position include that parents should be encouraged to participate maximally in their children's education in terms of providing essential equipment and facilities to their wards, participating in school-based management committees, and engaging in give-and-take conversations with their children on the things they learn about the world, life and living.

Adolescent delinquency in Nigerian secondary schools has become an increasing concern, prompting the need for research on its contributing factors. This study examined the influence of parenting styles on in-school adolescents’ delinquent behaviours in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, while also exploring the moderating effects of gender, school location, and class level. A descriptive survey design was employed, with 396 adolescents selected using purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques. Data were gathered using the Parenting Styles and Delinquent Behaviour Questionnaire (PSDBQ), which had a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Hypotheses were tested using the t-test statistical tool. Findings indicated that parenting styles significantly influenced adolescents' delinquent behaviours, with notable variations based on gender, school location, and class level. The study emphasizes the need for parental education programs, including workshops and counselling sessions, to promote effective parenting strategies. Additionally, intervention programs should be designed to address behavioural challenges specific to urban and rural settings. Schools should strengthen counselling services in order to provide psychological and social support across different class levels. These recommendations aim to foster responsible parenting, improve adolescent behaviour, and minimize delinquency in Nigerian secondary schools.
