The study investigated the effect of 

gender and subject combination on the 

achievement of NCE mathematics 

students in colleges of education in Delta 

State. The study employed the causal 

comparative research design. The sample

and the f-test inferential statistics at 0.05 

level of significance. The results obtained 

revealed that: there is no significant 

difference in the achievement of NCE 

mathematics students across the various 

subject combinations, there is no 

significant difference between the 

achievements of male and female NCE 

mathematics students across the various 

subject combinations. It was
