INTRODUCTION
1.1    BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
This project work is another contribution to the already existing and numerous done and those still under way into the study of the causes of low academic performance of secondary school students in this attempt of trying to discuss the relationship between teaching strategies and the academic performance of secondary school students. The term “teaching strategies” refers to the general pedagogy and management style used for classroom instruction. A teacher choice of teaching strategies should not only be based on what fits/suits him or her but also putting into consideration the subject area, schools mission statement, class demography etc. academic performance on the other hand according to the Encyclopedia Britanica (2009) academic performance as an act or a process of display in the level of understanding a knowledge of what has been learnt as a student especially while studying in schools. Irrespective of the schools physical beauty or magnificence, it is of great benefit to know to know that the student’s academic performance depends also on the teaching strategies adopted by the class teacher.
The choice of teaching strategies according to Wikipedia may also depend largely on the information that the teacher or instructor intends to pass across to the members/students in his/her class, the skill that is to be taught, and it may also be influenced by the attitude and level of enthusiasm of the class/students. In the last decade, scholars has attempted to see hour and why there has been a downward growth in the level of performance of secondary school age with the high rate of failure displayed by results of examinations conducted by external examinational bodies e.g Jamb, WAEC, NECO does it mean that the strategies of instruction are obsolete and needs revisions, or is the assertion true that Nigerian students are drill?

  3. Does the teacher really have a role to play in the students performance outcomes?
  4. Are the teaching strategies effective or obsolete?
  5. Could a change in teaching method imply a change in the students performance level?
  6. What present improvement to teaching strategies are there I Nigeria and how effective are they?
