Abstract
In recent past, history as a subject in secondary schools across the nation and the world at large was regarded as the core subject in the Humanity or Arts classes. Equally, it was difficult to pursue professions like Law and
Internal Relation without credit in history. But today it is observed that history as a subject is being relegated or at best neglected by students because emphasis is being shifted to government and social studies. Thus, the purpose of this article is to help make students, educators, school administrators and government aware of the danger at hand if a subject like history is allowed to die. Various factors responsible for low patronage of history are discussed and ways out provided to assist and elicit students' interest in the subject.
