Adequate Financing of Secondary Education in Nigeria: A Panacea for Sustainable National Development
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Education as the bedrock in the development process has left a burning desire in every government to increase access to education for all her citizens. The direction of education toward national economic growth and development was an important basis for the introduction and adoption of the National Policy on Education with adequate provision for functional secondary education. The expectation has been that opportunity should be offered to the learners at the Junior and Senior Secondary levels of education in order to avoid wastage of talents. It is lamentable that the growth at educational levels were mainly in sizes and not in quality. However, this paper examined the philosophical basis of financing education, types of educational cost and the concept of efficiency in relation to secondary education in Nigeria. Suggestions were made for provision of greater access to quality secondary education towards the attainment of sustainable national development.
