The academic performance is defined by students’ reporting of past semester CGPA/GPA and their
expected GPA for the current semester. The grade point average or GPA is now used by most of the
tertiary institutions as a convenient summary measure of the academic performance of their students.

of performance of individuals and different group of students. Learn more in: Use of Online Social

Used to describe the academic achievement of students in K-12 institutions; however, the author
acknowledges that these scores are not indicative of the abilities or potentials of students of color, as the

White students. Learn more in: Preparing Teacher Candidates for Diverse School Environments

Academic performance means the knowledge and skills that students have mastered in a
subject or a course. It’s basically a measure of how well students have performed in the
various assessment items set for them based on some educational criteria determined by
professionsl educators. Through students' performance in the assessment items such as
essays, tests, viva, and examinations, students’ performance are determined in ranking as to
the educational standards that they have reached — pass, credit, distinction, high distinction
and so on. These educational standards may be recognised as satisfying the standards for

universities, especially work which involves studying and reasoning rather than practical or
technical skills.

Academic achievement represents performance outcomes that indicate the extent to which a person has
accomplished specific goals that were the focus of activities in instructional environments, specifically in school,
college, and university. School systems mostly define cognitive goals that either apply across multiple subject areas
(e.g., critical thinking) or include the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in a specific intellectual domain
(e.g., numeracy, literacy, science, history). Therefore, academic achievement should be considered to be a
multifaceted construct that comprises different domains of learning. Because the field of academic achievement is
very wide-ranging and covers a broad variety of educational outcomes, the definition of academic achievement
depends on the indicators used to measure it

Academic performance is undoubtedly a research drive at the heart of educators, teachers, psychologists,
policy makers, parents and guardians, social workers etc. in their attempts to investigate what determines
academic outcomes of learners, they have come up with more questions than answers. In recent, prior
literature has shown that learning outcomes (academic achievement and academic performance) have
been determined by such variables as family, schools, society and motivational factors.(Aremu and Jokan
2003).National governments have tried to invest heavily in education in order to improve accessibility
and quality of education both the secondary and primary schools. They have however not taken university
education as a priority. The upper secondary education however has received little attention by
governments and donor agencies a factor that could have contributed to the poor academic performance in
secondary schools. The quality of education at primary section depends on the quality of teachers and
their competence, their capacity the teaching and learning process and is widely recognized that the
quality of teachers and teaching lies at the heart of all schooling systems intending to offer quality
education.
