INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In ancient societies, marriage of a youth in ancient society
was parts of the responsibilities of his parents. The young man had no choices
and no says. He accepted his wife his joy and thanks. In some cases, a wife was
married for him at a time he could certainly not afford to keep a wife all
maintenance was borne by the parents. According to Landis, H. P. (1977) In the
past marriage were a matter within the clan or within clan’s and its environs
parents were not anxious to see their suns getting married to girls from
distant places or other tribes. Marriages arranged by parents on the basis of
family friendship ties rarely broke up in the past. Divorce in the ancient
times was also very rate, because of penalties of proven infidelity and fear of
offending elders of both families.
In Nigerian, there are four clearly defined types of
marriage we have the church or statutory marriage, court marriage is performed
at the Muslim Mosque and marriages contracted according to the native laws and
customs of any given ethnic group known as the traditional marriages. In 1979,
according to Fumilayo Lavis, marriage was made for the purpose of having
children so as to establish a family because marriage was ordained by God to
serve this purpose, when these children are virtually born, they are seen as
God’s blessing and as a gift to their parents as they are social and economic
assets to their parents. The family this time needs a home to live in and feel
secured, this home is a place where a family live and also a place where one
secured love. It is a place which provide all individual need in order to fit
into the society successfully. A home provides for good physical, mental, psychological
and spiritual development of the members. A home built on love, mutual
understanding and good planning is able to met its goals and a home where love
and understanding are lacking is bound to crack and in all direction, this,
broken homes are homes or families where either the farther or the mother has
ceased to be member of such home or family through divorce, desertion to
mention but a few.
Divorce therefore can be defined to
be personal misfortune for either of the spouse ion any society but it is a
universal escape for the inevitable tension is marriage. Divorce as a matter of
fact breaks the bonds, which once united two individual and their family.
Marriage is a big step in life, in which a person plans as a career or even
business, certainly you either fail or succeed. This bond dissolution can occur
as a result of extra marital practices by either of the partners, early
marriage, a solution where either of the spouses is not ripe enough for
marriage before getting married.
The objective of the family is the
proper upbringing of children is a more important objective of the family than
the happiness of the parents. This is because the early of child life are the
formation of personality and these are the years that are spent mainly in
association with parent’s siblings and the family. The home as the child’s
immediate environment forms the basis for personality development, which
accompanies the individual throughout life. As a result of divorce or broken
home children fails to develop ties to one or few important person in the
family and when these ties are disrupted, children are taught at school
impaired in developing close relationship in adulthood. They feel better and
carryover critically as a happy person and at the same time cannot concentrate
on anything taught at school. When a mother is out of a home, leaving the
children under charity and mercy of step-mother, these children are prone to
many problems such as poor feeding, negligence not inspired to study or learn,
diseases and sicknesses, emotional disturbance (fear, insecurity) not inspired
to study malnutrition, sickness and diseases, negligence, as such they are not
likely to perform up to expectation at school.
STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
Many problem are associated with
divorce or broken homes, which reflects on the performance of children in
schools, some of these problem are;
It has been observed that children
from broken home suffer some other problems e.g. non-provision of some basic
necessities like, clothing food, learning materials etc.
There is increase in domestic work
and redistribution of household chores, which leaves the children with little
or no time for their studies
Insecurity, step parent do not show
much love and affection to their step children. Thus, these children suffer
from mental retardation, personality improvement and are always miserable. They
show behavioral responses like lying, stealing, building and playing truant in
school etc.
In view of this, the researcher is
forced to wonder whether extra-relationship and financial problem could lead to
broken home, and if broken homes, are they causes of decrease in the
performance of children in schools. A close look at other turnout of secondary
school grandaunts reveals a lot of half cooked, half boiled and half motivate
the researcher fear that divorce may have negative effect on the academic
performance of students.
PURPOSE OF
STUDY
1. To
examine the causes of broken homes.
2. To
investigate if broken homes affect child’s academic performance.
3.
Investigate if broken homes parents plan the career of their children.
4. To
provide information on how a broken home child can improve his career.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The present increase in the academic
performance of students in our secondary school call for immediate attention,
the researcher is eager to find out what exactly are the causes of this problem
and the consequences on the children of such marriage. The following question
will be used for the study of these problems.
1.
Does children from broken homes do better than children from unbroken homes
academically?
2.
Does students/children who perform poorly in school are all from divorced
homes?
3.
Does divorce affect the academic performance of students?
4.
Are children/students from broken homes opportune to plan with their sponsors
what course to pursue in life?
5.
Does insecurity and unrolling attitudes of step parents of students of broken
home lead them to steal love at school?
SIGNIFICANCE OF
STUDY
It is hoped that findings from this study will enrich programmes of teaching
social studies. The researcher is interested in the study of effect of divorce
on the performance of children in schools because whatever happens in the home
has a bearing in the academic performance of children. It is necessary to
educate the young stars who are yet unmarried about the problems and causes of
divorce and their consequences on the children. It will also make young stars
to decimate their parents. Findings from this study will aid children from
parent who have being thought divorce in the understanding of problem
experienced by their parents and give them assurance about their future.
