TUITION FEE AND STUDENT ENROLEMENT IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS IBD

Sinopse

Government recognized the importance of education in the realization of the above five important objectives of education and so asked for the cooperation of all other agencies concerned with education. This, the policy believed will foster the much-needed unity in Nigeria. The policy is not only confident that education is the greatest force that can bring about redress in these areas but also, the greatest investment that the nation can make for quick development of its economic, political, sociological and human resources. However, there seems to be a persistent and wide-spread loss of confidence in public educational institutions. As Ajayi (2000) noted, it is still observed that public education today has been faced with various challenges ranging from mismanagement of allocated resources, to falling academic standards. Other important reasons for loss of confidence in our educational system include poor planning and consistent lack of investment in the education system. This had led to a near collapse of the system leaving the education infrastructure in an appalling and dilapidated state.
