statistical technique was used to analyze the scores of the pupils of public and
private primary schools. The findings showed that there were no significant
differences in the academic performance of male and female pupils in social
studies in public and private primary schools. Chi-square was also used to

greater input to the teaching/learning activities, and create a forum where all
stakeholders in the business of education will be meeting to discuss areas of
problems in primary education in the state and proper solutions to the
