The study employed a survey design approach to sampling valid respondents of 337 teachers from both private and public schools who are engaged in teaching languages. The results show that the application of storytelling in teaching and learning in both private and public schools, pupils/students' learning ability and skills, peer influence, improvement in teacher quality, qualification and improvement, learning materials and infrastructures, and pupils' performance in schools, have a positive impact on academic performance which also influence school enrolment. Hence, these regressed elements/factors need to be improved constantly, manage by other education-related development factors, and apply in both private and public schools to heighten performance and boost enrollment. Besides, it was revealed that low parental education background has an insignificant impact on school enrollment and performance, which simply indicate that low parents' educational attainment has no positive impact or does not determine whether parents will enroll their wards in school or not. The concept of storytelling and its application in teaching and learning language is a cross-edge approach to pupils’ performance and enrollment in schools. Inculcating this strategy will help gain students'/pupils' attention and involvement in the teaching and learning process, coupled with other supporting construct variables are means to heighten pupils/students' understanding, performance, and enrollment in schools. This is an essential component of the research because it underpins the very fabric of selecting the best alternative method and strategies in teaching to support learning in Nigeria. The study established strong policy support for educational/human development, teacher education, and school management practices as a prerequisite to improving both private and public schools. In essence, providing quality education for all is fundamental to creating a peaceful and prosperous world as supported by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal four (4).
