1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. BACK GROUND OF THE STUDY

          Education is of paramount importance in a growing nation. It is the best legacy a nation can give to her citizens especially the youth. This is because the development of any nation or community depends largely on the quality of education of such a nation. Not only is education the greatest force that can be used to bring about redress, it is also the greatest investment that a nation can make for the quick development of its economic, political, sociological and human resources.

These measures have not improved the social-economic and educational status of families (olutu 1994). Also many rural and sub ur
