Assessment of Renewable Energy Education among Senior Secondary School Students in South-Western Nigeria
The objective of this study is to evaluate renewable energy literacy among senior secondary school students in south-western Nigeria. Nigeria is mostly dependent on fossil fuels for power generation; however, the fuel scarcity/fuel crisis witnessed in the country has made renewable energy a better option for power generation. Nigeria is a country with vast renewable energy potentials. Although renewable energy technologies is fast developing, less attention is still being paid to renewable energy education in some developing countries. In order to find out the renewable energy knowledge level in south-western Nigeria, a questionnaire on renewable energy basics is administered to five senior secondary schools in three states. A crosstab correlation of the student’s responses is carried out against their school type, fields of study, gender and level of education. According to the response of 225 students, the renewable energy knowledge of the students is about 41.24% which is lower than expected.
