Industrial Actions and Academic Performance of University Students

Analyses how repeated industrial actions affect the academic performance and graduation timelines of university students.

About this project

This project analyses the effect of industrial actions (lecturer and staff strikes) on university students' academic performance, time-to-graduation and motivation. It compares CGPA distributions and graduation rates across cohorts affected and unaffected by prolonged strikes, and surveys students on the psychological and financial toll of disrupted calendars.

Methodology

Ex-post facto design

Chapters 1–5 outline

Chapter 1

Introduction: background to industrial actions in higher education, statement of the problem (frequent strikes extend programmes and demoralise students, yet their measured academic cost is rarely quantified), aim and objectives, research questions, scope, significance of the study, and definition of terms.

Chapter 2

Literature Review: theoretical framework, review of related works on industrial actions in higher education, gaps in existing studies, and a summary positioning this project.

Chapter 3

Methodology / System Analysis and Design: ex-post facto design; records analysis; student questionnaire. Includes data collection method, system requirements, use-case and architecture diagrams (or population, sample size, and instrument).

Chapter 4

Implementation and Results: comparison of CGPA and graduation timelines across affected and unaffected cohorts. Presentation of findings, testing, evaluation, and discussion of results.

Chapter 5

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations: key findings, contribution to knowledge, limitations, and recommendations for further research.
