RE-INVENTING THE NIGERIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In any society, education is the means by which citizens are equipped with the necessary attitudes, knowledge and skill that will enable them contribute meaningfully to national and human development. The reason for this assertion is not far-fetched. This is because development in the socio-economic, technological and cultural advancement of any nation depends on the level of education of its citizens. In addition productivity improvement is a function of the quality of education provided for the citizenry. However the Nigerian education system within the last decade seemed to have been infected with the malaise (problems) of movement without motion, growth without development and quantity without quality. Hence the consistent declining form of the Nigerian Educational System. There is therefore the need for a total overhaul and re-invention of the education system to engender greater productivity and meaningful development of both the individual and the Nigerian nation
