This study therefore, seeks the intuition behind people, especially, students for indulging in various forms of examination malpractices. The study was based on the deficit model of examination anxiety whilst two research questions were posed to guide the study. All second year undergraduate students of the University of Cape Coast were the target population. The study revealed that some of the perceptions students held about examination malpractices included “No matter how hard you read, if you don’t cheat you will fail” (83.96%) and “If I don’t cheat, those who do will have advantage over me” (95.28%). On reasons why students engage in examination malpractice, majority of them (91.51%) gave the reason “to maintain the trust and investment my parents have made in me” to be the causative agent for engaging in malpractice. Withdrawal, rustications and imprisonment of culprits were some of the recommendations put forward by policy makers 4p:, ill.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of parental involvement on the academic work of Junior High School pupils. The descriptive research design was employed for the study. A sample size of 90 was used from three selected JHS in the OLA circuit of the Cape Coast District in the Central Region of Ghana namely OLA Presbyterian, Imam Khomeini and Apewosika Junior High Schools. The purposive, stratified and simple random sampling procedures were used. The research instrument used was questionnaire. The study revealed that majority of the respondents’ parents were involved in their academic work. The involvement included encouraging their children to do well in school, making sure that they go to school, and attending PTA meetings. Again, it was discovered that when parents showed interest in their children’s education, it made them (children) feel very happy and confident. The findings also indicated that parental involvement in children’s education had a positive impact on the academic work and even the emotional state of pupils. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that parents be educated more on the need to visit their children in school. This will help them to monitor their children’s progress and provide an avenue for interaction with teachers on ways to improve the academic performance of pupils. Pupils should be motivated as much as possible by their parents and teachers. Finally, parents should take more interest in the educational activities of their children. 13p:, ill.

The descriptive research design was used for the study. A questionnaire was used to gather the data from a sample of 400 respondents selected through the snowball and purposive sampling system in four senior high schools in Ghana. The results of the data analysis showed that some students became dropouts, others developed low self-esteem, whereas others put up characters which could affect them in their future lives. The results revealed further that bullying had affected the academic performance of most of the students in the school who could have been bullied, have bullied or was a by-stander. Hence it was concluded that the Ghana Education Service and the schools should have a system or policy of stopping bullying in its entirety in the senior high school. 16p:, ill.
