The factors were inadequate teachers, inadequate teachers‟ houses, shortage of classrooms, lack of libraries, inadequate teaching/learning materials such as textbooks, inadequate accommodation facilities, toilets and large classes with ratio up to 1:87 and poor parents‟ participation in the school.
