Résumé

The public secondary school students are exposed to challenges such as low parental support, poor parental background, lack of conducive school environment, teachers’ negative attitude; poor finance to meet up basic needs at school and these resulted in inability to successfully complete their studies. The simple random sampling technique was used to select three local governments in the Ibadan Metropolis. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses that were stated in this study. There was a significant main effect of treatments on academic survival (F2, 30 = 5.725, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.436), there was no significant main effect of academic self-efficacy in improving academic survival among participants (F2, 30 = 0.075, p > 0.05, partial η2 = .001). ACT and ERT were efficacious in improving academic survival among participants.
