Teachers and Students Appraisal of Secondary School as Custodian of Moral Values
Abstract
This study examines how secondary school plays its role as a custodian of moral
values in society. What it takes to teach moral values in the school. What are the
facilities, subjects, punishments, as well as teaching methods adopted by the
school? All these are what the study set out to examine. This was verified using
15 purposively sampled secondary schools in the Sokoto metropolis. The study
adopted a descriptive survey design. A questionnaire with psychometrics properties
of 0.72 and 0.81 for validity and reliability respectively, was used to elicit the needed
data from the respondents which constituted both teachers and students of the
selected schools. The findings reveal the current state secondary school Sokoto state
lacks in its role to serve as a custodian of moral values, from its facilities, subjects,
enforcing conformity, and teaching strategies. In conclusion, for secondary school to
perform its role as custodian of moral values, it was recommended among others
that there should be the provision of more facilities conducive to teaching and
learning in the schools to enable the secondary school plays its role as a custodian
of moral values in the society.
