SUMMARY WRITING
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
In all school systems of the world, some schools are considered ‘better’ than others. In fact, based
on such a judgment parents often go to great lengths to have their children enrolled in one school rather
than another. One yardstick for making this judgment is student achievement especially general
performance in public examinations. Furthermore, among some experts in education, options about
schools are further narrowed down to subject areas. For example, one often hears that school A is better
than school B in Mathematics and Science while the latter is better than the former in English language
and the Liberal Arts. Whatever the focus of these comparative statements, there remains the fact that
schools do vary in terms of average student achievement.
Why is it then that some schools have high average student achievement while others have low
average student achievement? The reasons are not far-fetched.
The first reason is that some schools are located in privileged areas in the sense that the students
come from homes where parents care about their children’s education, ensure that the children are wellfed , show interest in their school work and provide easy access to books in home. On the other hand ,
there are schools which serve less privileged communities and whose students come from homes where
parents are unable to provide the necessary support services for good academic work. Students in the first
type of school would generally have a higher rate of achievement than those in the second type.
Another reason for the difference in academic achievement between schools is how well the
schools are equipped. Schools that have good laboratories and libraries, ample space, places to sit and
write for every student and optimum-sized classrooms usually record a higher standard of student
achievement
than
t
hose where the basic equipment is lacking or where the students are crammed into inadequate
spaces.
The quality of the teachers also has to do with the differences in student achievement between
schools. A teacher that does not have good grasp of his subject matter nor is committed to his job cannot
produce an outstanding student. On the other hand, students will generally attain a high standard where
the teacher is an expert in his field, knows how to structure the material to be learned, demands a lot from
his students and motivates them. Also, school management have been found to have a relationship with
student achievement. Students perform better in school where the leadership is enthusiastic and creative
than in schools where the principals and teachers adopt a casual attitude to their job.
Finally, discipline cannot be divorced from the learning process, and this is often seen from the
perspective of general student behaviour. Where students show a disregard for the rules and regulations
that guide good learning by disobeying their teachers; neglecting their homework, or playing truant, they
cannot make any reasonable academic progress. On the other hand students who comport themselves well
have a good foundation for academic success
