The study employed a descriptive survey design. All the 123 English language teachers (PPMB Statistics, 2020) from 31 secondary schools, five secondary school principals, three religious priests and three traditional leaders in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria were sampled for the study.

Students’ and teachers’ factors that affect effective teaching and learning of economics in secondary schools in the Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria, was investigated using 10 out of 31 public schools in the study area. Data was collected using a questionnaire titled “Teachers’ & students’ factors hindering effective teaching and learning of Economics in Secondary Schools (TSFETLE),” developed by the researchers and rated on a four-point scale. The instrument had 26 items arranged in three clusters. Cluster A elicited information on teacher-related factors hindering effective teaching and learning of economics, Cluster B sought information on student-related factors that hinder effective teaching and learning of economics, and Cluster C sought information on strategies for effective teaching and learning of economics. The 52 teachers in the 31 government-owned secondary schools and 349 SS2 students of economics in 10 randomly selected secondary schools in the Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State were included in the study. Data elicited from three research questions were analyzed descriptively using mean and standard deviation, while t-test was used to compare the teachers’ and students’ responses. The results of the study showed that teachers’ qualifications, teaching methods, and students’ attitudes and disposition toward economics are the key factors affecting effective teaching and learning of economics.

Provision of education as a global social service is champion by the public sector.  Where these education facilities are located influences their utilization and efficiency. Proximity to these facilities also influences decisions to seek and patronize them. The study analyzes the geo-spatial database and distribution of Government Secondary Schools, using GIS in Chikun Local Government Area. 28 Government Secondary Schools were identified. Their geographic coordinates were established by the use of GPS device and mapped out. The data generated from the field was used to create geo-database of Government Secondary Schools. From the study, 51.4% of registered students were enrolled in the Government Junior Secondary Schools cadre while 58.6% was in Government Senior Secondary Schools. 79% of the student’s enrolments were concentrated in three communities. Nasarawa community was 43.3%, Sabo-Tasha community was 19.4% and Narayi community was 16.5%. These communities form part of Kaduna metropolis with evidence of high population concentration. Queries from the database show only 21.4% of the Schools were with fenced, 7.1% of the schools were with school halls, 25% of the schools were with school libraries and 14.3% of the schools were with computers. The distribution pattern was found to be appearing not different than random using the ArcGIS auto-correlation analysis tool. Government Secondary Schools in the study area appear to be poorly equipped for conducive learning experience. Therefore, the study recommends schools expansion, provision of new schools and upgrading existing schools to standard by all stakeholders.
