The focus of this paper is on Educational quality improvement in Nigeria.
Education in this paper has been described as a process of learning that helps,
in the provision of suitable skills, training for economic, social, cultural and
political responsibilities, transmission and transformation of social, economic
and cultural structures from generation to generation. Some of the areas in our
educational system that seek intervention include private sector development
and curriculum change among others. Funding, poses a major challenge to our
educational system apart from institutional unrest. It is suggested among others
that the Nigerian educational system should be properly funded. By both the
government and private sectors.
