As an ex-post facto and descriptive survey, the study population embraced all the 141 secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The sample was identified with the population as all the schools were involved in the study. The method of selection was by multi-stag and stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect data for the study was an inventory while the data collected were analyzed using percentages. The findings showed that the enrolment growth rate was found to be 5.6% while the teacher-student ratio was 1:30. The supply of qualified teachers did not match the demand for them in secondary schools in the State. It was projected that the State government would require additional 3,585 teachers by the year 2016. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the conditions of service of teachers should be reviewed and made more attractive and lucrative. Government should recruit more qualified teachers into the schools to meet up with the demand for them. This recruitment should however be along subject lines.

It is true that the degradation of our environment has been exacerbated by widespread poverty. Thus, it is virtually impossible to effectively discuss the idea of urban environmental sustainability without paying serious attention to the problems of poverty. The poor in cities are both agents and victims of environmental damage. For example, poor families pollute the environment through indiscriminate disposal of wastes just as inadequate residential accommodation often results in overcrowding in decrepit slums. On the other hand, the deteriorated urban environment could lead to the causation of a number of diseases such as cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea, among the urban poor. The work is divided into four sections. The first section deals with the conceptual issues of poverty and environmental sustainability. The second part examines how poverty causes environmental damage while the third part attempts to show how the poor are the greatest victims of environment degradation. The concluding section will examine the methods of alleviating the problem of poverty in the city. The paper concludes that since the poor are the worst affected by environmental degradation, any meaningful development of the urban milieu must take cognizance of the mass of the urban poor in such a way that efforts to improve their quality of life does not in any way jeopardize the environment.

The paper examined the differences in the logical reasoning, linguistic, reading as well as word-problem solving abilities of male and female science students which are considered important to effective learning of science. Forty science students consisting of 20 each of male and female groups were involved in the study. Each group was taught by four science teachers of the same sex for a period of six weeks. The teachers had uniform qualifications. In addition to the subject matter taught processes of science were emphasized throughout the lessons. The study showed that girls have higher achievement scores than boys in logical reasoning, linguistic, reading and word-problem solving abilities. The differences in the scores were also found to be significant at 0.05 confidence level. It was therefore concluded that the issue of gender influence on students‘ performance in science is not straight jacketed. Boys perform better than girls only in conventional classroom arrangements and in the overall science tasks but not in some tasks that are also very crucial to the learning of science.

This involved a total of 5,114 JSS2 students in 150 schools sampled across the country. The Ghanaian JSS2 students' overall attainment in the TIMSS-2003 in mathematics and science was poor. This dismal performance placed Ghana at the 45th position on the overall mathematics achievement results table in the two subjects. This paper discusses some of the contexts for learning and instruction within and outside the school that had influenced such an abysmal performance. The analysis indicated that\u0000science and mathematics, which are key curriculum areas that are fundamental to the development of technologically literate societies, are subjects that are highly valued by Ghanaian students. The analysis also revealed that higher students' achievement in science and mathematics was associated with higher levels of parents' education. Also many of the students who had high expectations for university education were from parent who had university education. The analysis further revealed that homes where students had their own study table, had access to books and had the opportunity to speak English positively affected achievement in science and mathematics. Finally, it revealed that teachers\u0000emphasized methods that focus on knowledge and understanding of basic facts and principles and used instructional strategies that gave students little opportunity to design experiments (or investigations) in science and decide procedures for solving problems in mathematics.
