CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the study
Educational development in Nigeria has over
the period been treated with kid gloves. For a nation to be able to compete favorably
with its contemporaries, a lot has to be done and invested in educating its
citizenry. For Nigeria as a country to be judged educationally developed, a lot
has to be done and this should start from the mindset of our youths as the
development of education in Nigeria has to be sustained by this vibrant age
grade in other to make a lasting impression on the fabrics of the nation.
Educational development in Nigeria has to be a collective responsibility in
other to realize this dream. Youths and adults must see it as a tool for
economic development which must not be treated with kid gloves. The more
interested our future leaders are in educational development the less the
illiteracy rate in Nigeria. Over the period, Nigeria has witnessed a slow but
steady rise in educational development spanning from the pre-colonial to the
post-colonial dispensation. Our students are a principal agent in this onus
task of educational development in Nigeria. Nigeria has made considerable progress in the
domain of education. The educational system in the country is supervised by the
state. There are 27 federal and state-owned polytechnics in Nigeria
(Wikipedia, 2012).
The first 6 years of primary education are mandatory in Nigeria.
Nigeria is making a steady progress in the
development of education. Many universities and schools have been established
by the state. However, much still needs to be done.
Primary education in Nigeria is in the native
language but brings in English in the third year (Akpan 2011). Higher Education
has developed considerably over the years, which has resulted in a healthy
literacy rate. For educational to be properly developed in Nigeria, our youths
especially our undergraduates in the various institutions of higher learning
must imbibe the culture or must be willing to give back to the educational
sector by going back to the classrooms to assist. Though this may have been
partially achieved by the compulsory national service where corp members are
being deployed to the schools but this over the period has not yielded its
desired result owing to the fact that they do not find the educational system
in Nigeria attractive and entertaining. In other to minimize brain drain or
capital flight in the educational sector in the country, government has that
prerogative to ensure that the educational system is made as attractive as
possible as this would help develop education in Nigeria which would in turn
help us compete with our contemporaries all over the world.
1.2. Statement of the general problem
Despite the recent development in the educational sector In Nigeria, some pressing issues have been a re occurring decimal in the problems surrounding educational development in Nigeria. Our youths who should be at the front burner in the nations development of the educational sector has suddenly grown cold in their quest for a better educational system and sector. The near stagnant nature of the educational sector has had its negative effect on other sectors of the economy. This malady has equally led to the drastic rise in terrorism as witnessed in some part of the country. All these and other unmentioned over bearing consequences has led us to this study in knowing the real causes behind the lack of interest of the youths in helping to develop education in Nigeria.
