The descriptive statistics or frequency counts and percentages provided answers to research questions while the chi-square (X2) statistics was used for hypotheses testing. The results revealed that: Attitude of the students influenced teaching and learning of Health Education (X2cal = 38.04 < X2tab 15.21, df = 8, P > 0.05). Also that attitude of teachers influenced Health Education (X2cal = 43.3 < X2tab 66.9, df = 9, P > 0.05). While motivation influenced students behaviour towards Health Education (X2cal = 16 < X2tab 14.07, df = 7, P > 0.05). Also, teachers personality influenced students’ attitude (X2cal = 28.1 < X2tab 14.07, df = 7, P > 0.05) and teaching method influenced students attitude towards Health Education (X2cal = 26.01 < X2tab 16.91, df = 9, P > 0.05).

Attitude significantly influence the teaching and learning of health education in schools. The implications of this show that attitude counts a lot in everything human being do. Teachers do not motivate the students in order to develop their interest in learning Health Education.

The knowledge of health education significantly influences the teaching and learning of health education in the Junior Secondary Schools. This implies that many students who learn Health Education have poor background in the subject. Finally, it was found that the teaching method of Health Education significantly influences the teaching and learning of health education in schools.
