Environmental education is considered as a life-long process starting from pre-school level
continuing through all stages of formal and informal education. Student’s environmental awareness as one
of the components of environmental education has been investigated for many years in Nigeria. Due to lack
of sufficient literature, this paper is aimed to investigate the level of environmental awareness and also
ascertain the effects of race, type of school, and location on environmental awareness level of secondary
school students in Kano State, Nigeria. It was done by conducting a survey study method. A total of 1200
respondents were selected out of 507,061 secondary school students who were in SS 2 in Kano State using
simple random sampling techniques. Environmental Awareness Test was used as the instrument for data
collection. The data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean and Standard
Deviation was used to answer the research question while one-way ANOVA was used to test the
hypotheses. The results show that the secondary school students in Kano have low environmental awareness
level. It was further revealed that significant differences exist in the environmental awareness level of
students for all the three levels of independent variables. |
