ABSTRACT

A review of related literature to my study and researcher’s personal observation helped me in drawing up the questionnaire.  The items of the questionnaire were designed according to the problems that were investigated.

The problems of facilities was significant and this hindered mass participation of students.

The problems of inadequate number of trained and qualified accounting teachers incurred popularity of the subject in the schools.  The problems of large enrollment of students in the schools as a result of population explosion due to the introduction of Universal Primary Education (U.P.E.) made teaching of accounting ineffective in the schools because of unwieldiness of classes.

The problems of teaching aids and method were identified and this contributed to students uninterested in taking account in the school.

The implications and prospects of the above findings to teaching of account in secondary school were equally discussed.  Based on the findings, some useful recommendations on ways and means of improving the teaching of accounts in the schools were outlined.
