Abstract:
The study critically examined the causes, effects and remedies of agro-ecological degradation on secondary school environment in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was used in the research. Four (4) specific objectives and four research questions guided the study white four (4) null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha. Sample for the study comprised 190 respondents, made up of 95 principals and 95 teachers of agriculture. A 60-item survey was design on a 4-point scale to gather data. Weighted mean scores were utilised to analyse the data, and the t-test statistical test was used to test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 alpha. The study found 15 agro-ecological problems, 15 causes, 15 effects and 15 remedial measures to the agro-ecological problems affecting school environment. There was no substantial disparity in the mean ratings of the responses of principals and teachers of agriculture, on the remedial measures of the agro-ecological problems affecting school environment. In light of the results, the study suggests, that school perimeter fences should be reinforced with live growing shrubs while adopting multi-disciplinary approaches in mitigating environmental degradation.
