Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The Nigerian Constitution guarantees the fundamental human rights of all citizens, including those of students in public schools. These rights, enshrined in Chapter IV of the Constitution, are meant to ensure access to education, freedom from discrimination, and the protection of individual dignity in educational settings (Aliyu & Bello, 2023). However, the enforcement of these rights in public schools, especially in Yola North LGA, Adamawa State, remains an area of concern. Issues such as corporal punishment, gender discrimination, and inadequate facilities continue to undermine the quality of education and the rights of students. Despite national and international human rights frameworks, there appears to be a disconnect between policy and practice in many public schools (Musa & Salim, 2024). This study seeks to assess how well fundamental human rights are enforced in public schools in Yola North LGA, focusing on challenges and the roles of school authorities and government agencies in upholding these rights.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the legal provisions for the protection of students’ rights in Nigerian public schools, Yola North LGA continues to experience instances of human rights violations in schools. These violations include issues related to corporal punishment, lack of gender equality, and substandard learning environments. This study will investigate the effectiveness of enforcing fundamental human rights in public schools in the area.
