PROBLEMS FACING
STUDENTS IN HIGHER INSTITUTION [CASE STUDY OF I.M.T AND SUGGESTED WAYS OF
SOLVING THEM.
ABSTRACT
This study is designed to enumerate
the problems confronting student in higher institution pitching institute of
management and technology (I.M.T) Enugu
as a case of study and suggested ways to solve them.
Academic implication very in various institutions
as problem varies amongst student it could be social, psychological,
philological or nature. These problem need identification of cause and finding
of suitable solutions to them according. This is in turn will obviously
increase the student ability to give read answers to similar problems. Most
student in higher institutions choose to be indifferent to academic demand
while some institution and some student it confronted with problem lends to
grapple with it in a view of surviving from the stress it has cause them. Some
other students that have been bruised once or twice by problem(s) they learn
from reach problem they have solved.
It is also understood that some
vis-à-vis with student in higher institutions used to be innate, they emanate
from the victims to the burden. In addition it could be due to their
idiosyncrasy, while some other burdens are introduced to student by the school
lecturers and fellow students.
In this types of situation, the status
is bound to get trusted. It is expressed in this work that student suffer a
great deal of problems that could arise from dissolution, housing, social
environment the institution is situated. I will look into the possible cause
and effects of these problems facing student of I.M.T and suggest medication to
the problem.

INTRODUCTION
Just
like I saying that in the country of the blind one eyed man is a king over
there, so was the time when formal education was not so much importance to an
average African Holders of standard six as higher of elementary where very
highly respected. Holder of the general certificate of education [them called Cambridge certificate)
could even become managers in companies. But in a renowned country like Nigeria. It is
understood that both the Government and school have role to play in the serio –
comic problem facing student in the higher institutions. There are two arms sometimes
they both disagree and decide to carryout a repeating action. This type of
problem is only felly by those students who knows what damage it will do to
them and not those of apally. In a covert method to black mail lecturers has
give student the advantage to side-step the pattern of passing through a higher
institution whatever mental image we hold to ourselves is the key to our
personality and behaviour. There are groups of turbulent student in our
institution perpetuating immoralities in our campus.
We
usually read about HIV/Aids, in newspapers magazines and posters captioned.
“Bewared of the HIV /Aids disease the killers in our campus avoid it for good
health. It is the fact that we all want to be educated and get a degree, but
our schools admit numbers of students they are not willing to take care of them
which result to malfunctioning, student admitted start experience some problem
like accommodation, transportation living condition, social, inadequate
facilities. Higher institutions are the major supplier of the manpower required
for the development of any Nation. They are place where knowledge and skills
are acquired, needed for working efficiently and effectively in most firms and
offices. It is rather unfortunate that some condition tend to militate against
them. In a situation where a problem entangle student, it is possible that all
their academic work will be involved in it.
1.1
GENERAL BACKGROUND TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER
Problem
is the part of life, an individual face a problem, an organization also faces
problems, and the society as a whole facing a lot of problems. The Oxford
Advanced Learners dictionary defined problem as a difficult question to be
solved or decided. Problem at one time quells human knowledge and at the other
time probes human comfort and ability to survive. In student world especially
those in I.M.T are faced with different stage of problem compared to those that
are out of the campus. To most of them, they view problem as unnatural
predicament encroaching upon their academic pursuit. Naturally, human beings
are meant to experience some problems at one time or the other coupled with
variable solutions, but for a student who is been admitted into institute of
management and technology pre-occupied with prospect that every other student
would be looking forward to can be infected with a number of perplexity. For
instance, when a student is admitted into this institution (that is the first
half of being admitted, either by sending you an admission letter or so), he or
she will not just walk into the institution like that. He must do some
tradition, he will first of all accept the admission and get registered as an
orthodoxy member of the institution which will not be too easy as he/she would
expect it to be though this is not really a problem but it will be a little bit
stressful for a student who is just coming into the campus for a motive.
1.2
PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SUBJECT MATTER
I
remember when I was coming to the campus; I thought it was going to be like
paradise. But after I had come in and there was no going back for me, it became
a pipe dream that I had left my home to a better place. The government builds
the higher institution where we study, and some learned people employed to be
in charge of the management and control of the school. Student are also
employed (admitted) into the institution to come and strive for their future
and probably the future of the nation. As the management of the school and the
government that planted this institution (I.M.T) refused to do their rightful
duties, the school becomes a half-baked cake to these people that feel. In I.M.T
we understand that the school causes a lot of explicable problem to students in
the higher institution, either because they are indifferent to students
academic welfare or because they don’t know their duties and they don’t perform
their duties. For this reason we have to look into the problem that associated
with subject matter and the subsequent effects.
1.3
PROBLEM(S) THAT THE STUDY WILL BE CONCERNED WITH
This
study is solely concerned with problem facing the student of institute of
management and technology. The study is not only on the type of problem the
student of I.M.T is facing but what damage it will do to them in future reguarding
the effect it inflicts in them. When student has been admitted into higher
institution like I.M.T his main objective is to be attending classes as usual
knowing what he/she is here for and later graduate with a defendable
certificate. But when unexpected problem start to in true into him/her academic
affairs it give him/her much concern to choose amongst other probable cause of
the problem and suitable remedies to them. As earlier started, problem student
life may arise from dissolution, lack of financial meet-ups academic
indifference and possible mal-management of he institution. This project is
therefore aimed at pointing out possible problem enclosing student in institute
of management and technology and the suggested solution to them. It could be
made handy or planned for subsequent uses.
1.4
THE IMPORTANT OF STUDYING
THE AREA
The
problem attached to education is not only confined to Higher Institution, it
also extends to other levels of learning but in this work I bringing institute
of management and technology into focus and cook into possible ways to solve
those problems that celebrates in the particular institution traditionally,
education is learning and teaching practices carried out between teachers and
student in every institution of higher learning, but this is becoming less true
compared to the system practiced by the pioneers. These days there has been
obvious evolution in the system of many institutions done to the detriment of
our student. But in I.M.T it’s a bit out ward. At one time there are student
that could afford to pay their tuition fees and attend the usual lectures only
to prove at the end of their academic session how hardworking they have been
with their studies.
But
now the expensive of education has escalated so high to pose a bit problem to
the academic success of student tin the higher institution in question. If
money is not readily available to meet up all expenses, the sustainability to
study properly will be hindered, most study are bereft of what fugue they are
supposed to gain because of these stipulated attitude. Back in the days when
higher institution were know for what purpose the service to the general
public, their was neither the existence of bribery and corruption not nor
cultism in our campus. But today the most aggravating oppression firmly fixed in
our higher institution cult activities multiply every day like nobody is aware
of what is happening in the campus, and it has been as irresistible and
persistent oppression to those student who haven’t got any role to play in any
of these organization collectively known as cult and those who at one time or
the other fall victim to this ruthless goings of arrogance. In relation to I.M.T,
it is apparent that the institution has got not thing to do with anything
concerning health, accommodation and the studying conditions the student
admitted into higher institution. All these above mentioned activities are
trivalent in most of our institution in Nigeria, but in the later look into the
full picture of the most occurring problem in I.M.T and suggest suitable situation
to them.
