    The rise of single faith schools in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria, may have unintended consequences in a very diverse country like Nigeria where religion matters remain very sensitive and can greatly impact interfaith understanding. This study examined the impact of single faith schools on pupils’ interfaith understandings. The research investigates whether exposure to a single-faith school environment fosters interfaith understanding or reinforces religious boundaries. Descriptive, survey research design was used. 174 pupils were selected for this study from privately owned single faith and conventional schools using stratified sampling technique. Rating scale was used as the research instrument. One research question and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that pupils from single faith schools have a low level of interfaith religion understanding. Also, there was no significant difference in interfaith religion understanding of pupils’ based on gender. The researcher therefore recommends that the unintended consequences of the rising numbers of single faith schools in the metropolis should be evaluated as Nigeria remains a country which is largely still sensitive to religious issues. Also, single faiths should make deliberate effort to teach and promote interfaith dialogue in their schools and the country needs all her citizens to understand and be tolerant to other religions.

    THE EFFECTS OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING ON PUPILS' ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND LEARNING RETENTION IN LITERACY IN KANO STATE, NIGERIA
    (Journal of Current Research in Education, 2023-03-01) Musa Lawan, Dr. Usman Tunde Saadu, Dr. J. S Maman, & Dr. Adedayo Adesokan
    This experimental research aimed to examine the influence of incorporating rhymes into literacy instruction on the learning retention and academic achievement of pupils in Kano State, Nigeria. The study adopted a pretest-posttest control group design and involved 103 pupils (50 in the experimental group and 53 in the control group) selected from primary schools within Kano State. The experimental group received instruction enriched with rhymes, while the control group received conventional instruction. By employing t-tests for comparative analysis of the mean scores between the two groups, the findings revealed that pupils exposed to rhymes during instruction exhibited significantly improved learning retention and academic achievement when compared to those exposed to traditional instruction. This suggests that the incorporation of rhymes in literacy instruction positively impacts pupils' learning outcomes. The implications of these results underscore the advantages of integrating rhymes into literacy education. Such an approachcan effectively enhance pupils' engagement and comprehension, contributing to improved learning retention. Moreover, the findings advocate for the adoption of interactive and engaging teaching methods, such as the use of rhymes, to foster a conducive learning environment. In the context of Kano State, Nigeria, where educational resources may be limited, the incorporation of rhymes represents a cost-effective and culturally relevant strategy for promoting effective literacy instruction and academic success among pupils. These findings serve as a valuable resource for educatorsand policymakers, highlighting the potential of innovative teaching approaches to advance educational outcomes in the region.
