dc.description.abstractThis study investigated and focused on the quality of school life (QoSL) and its influence on the attitudes of students towards school in public secondary schools in Abuja the federal capital territory (FCT) of Nigeria; aimed at improving and maintaining a good QoSL to reflect positive attitudes of students towards school. Three schools located in three different environments such as the urban area, semi-urban and remote areas, all with different levels of socio-economic backgrounds were used in the study. This qualitative case study which used semi-structured in-depths interviews, observations and schools documents as its instruments used the purposive sampling technique to select twelve students, their parents, nine teachers and three principals. The data collected were analysed manually using thematic analysis for the four research questions raised which have shown what the students‘ perceived about understanding and improving their QoSL. Themes were identified based on students‘ personal experience of their QoSL. Findings demonstrated that both socio-cultural and in-school factors influence the QoSL and attitudes of students towards school. Also revealed in the findings was that teachers need to listen to the voices of the students to understand and know to about their circumstances. The findings also revealed that some students work as house boys/maids so as to assist their families and to pay their school fees. Additionally, the findings demonstrated lack of interactions and cooperation between parents and schools. Based on the findings, recommendations have been made for improving the QoSL and for future research.en_US
