Abstract


This paper examines transport energy of secondary school students and its implication for learning science in Plateau State, Nigeria. It defines science, gives the importance of science, and discusses energy and its impact to education and the role of transport on education. Factors militating against effective learning of science which include transportation cost, poor transportation, inappropriate transport for students, irregular school attendance and unpunctuality of students, time constraint. This paper advocates that learning of science should include the consideration of transport energy. The paper also recommended that government should board public transport fare to a minimal amount, provide school buses and make provision to decongest traffic jams. Road Maintenance Agency should check the roads and make amends where necessary and governments should supervise the workers to make them sit up to their duties.
