CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
- Background to the problem
Environment could be described as the sum total of what is around something or someone. It includes living things and natural forces. The environment of living things provides conditions for development and growth, as well as danger and damage; as living things do not simply exist in their environment, they constantly interact with it. Organisms change in response to conditions in their environment and the environment consists of the interactions among plants, animals, soil, water, temperature, light and to other living and non-living things (Ajayi, 2001 and Oluchukwu, 2000).
Hence the word environment is used to talk about many things by people in different fields of knowledge (like history, geography or biology) use the differently). An electromagnetic environment is the various radio waves that equipment such as radio and reader can meet. Galactic environment refers to condition between the stove.
It is universally accepted, that education enables individuals to contribute to the development and improvement in the quality of life for themselves, their communities and the nation as a whole.
The school environment refers to factors within the school that influence the teaching-learning process. The school environment includes classrooms, library, technical workshops, teachers’ quality, teaching methods, peers, among others variables that can affect the teaching–learning process (Ajayi 2001). The extent to which pupils learn could be enhanced depending on what the school environment provides to the learners and the teacher.
