Career choice has been a recurrent problem among the students all over the world including Nigeria. It was a common practice in those days to find particular careers associated with particular families, where a blacksmiths son was destined to become a blacksmith and a leader’s son a born leader. This study therefore, examined the roles of parents and peer group on career choice of students of Technical schools with the hope of encouraging positive career choice. A non experimental research type of ex-post-facto was adopted in this study.

The study examined the availability of instructional materials, how students show interest in learning their lessons using instructional materials and how the use of instructional materials has affected classroom management of students in senior secondary schools. Survey research design was employed. A total number of 384 public secondary school teachers was selected using simple random sampling technique. The study tested three hypotheses and provided answers to three research questions. The research instrument used was researcher-made questionnaire.
