NWOYE, AMARACHUKWU NKECHI; OKAFOR, ANTHONY. E

Abstract: Due to the sharp declination of students’ academic performance in 2014 and 2015, the researchers deemed it necessary to investigate on Nigerian’s nascent secondary school physics curriculum and its implementation problems. Four research questions guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The research was carried out in Otuocha education zone, Anambra State. The sample constituted of 465 respondents. Teachers Students Assessment Questionnaire (TSAQ) was used for data collection. The data collected were analysed using frequency and mean. Findings showed that; government, environmental among others related problems impede the implementation of the new curriculum. Based on the findings, it was recommended that university courses in science education should also inculcate the secondary school curriculum content among others.
