Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The study titled “Goals of primary education as a go-between for sustainable living and improved security in Rivers State, Nigeria” randomly selected 410 primary six pupils in public primary schools as respondents. A Researcher-made questionnaire titled “Pupils Perception towards Primary Education Questionnaire” was the main instrument. It was a 15-item questionnaire and was responded to on the scale of strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree. The data generated was analyzed using mean. The study established that primary education plays significant roles in enabling citizens live a life free of security challenges and sustainable living. Based on the findings, it recommends that: there is the need for government and non-governmental agencies to engage in programmes that would enlighten Nigerians to acquire primary education and equip them with necessary skills that can sustain their living. Besides, the study recommends that since non completion of primary education among Nigerians is held responsible for the level of security challenges and poor state of sustainable development, educational agencies such as the UBE Commission, Ministry of Education and state UBEC among others must step up efforts in ensuring that funds are made available so as to provide primary education free to all school age children in Nigeria.
