CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
Ilorin West Local Government is one of the most populous local governments in Kwara State with stipulated population of over one hundred thousand inhabitants who are predominantly Muslims.
Headquarter is situated at Oja Oba very close to Emirs palace at the Central Area of Ilorin Emirate.
The introduction of Islamic education before the advent of western education creates a lot of set back to secondary education in Ilorin West Local Government Area. Also parents inculcate Quranic education into their children right from childhood in which its cope sharply disagreed with that of western education as a whole and no only secondary education alone.
The pre-independence era and a decade after few parents send their ward to primary school only the few of them allow their children to go to secondary schools existing by then and other school were owned by Christian missionaries. They disallowed them to go to missionaries schools to prevent their children from being covered to Christianity from early 80s till date the attitude is gradually changing from negative to positive as those who did not allow heir ward to go school before independence are now allowing them to go after realizing the importance of western education.
