Abstract
This paper is a trend analysis of educational reforms in Nigeria, it looks at various reforms and analyzed the problems associated with these reforms, such as lack of actual statistical data, political will, poor implementation, lack of funds poor infrastructure and teachers training programme among others, and the effect of other social factors (such as teachers personality, societal perceptions of the teacher, students socioeconomic background) on the educational system. Education is the pivot of every societal development and as such adequate programme should be developed to always improve on the average citizen,therefore education is not only about the curriculum but the social factors surrounding the teacher and the students. Lately the performance of students in external examination have been declining in spite of the frequent review of the curriculum, asa result there is a need to look at other factors within the society (social) that might be responsible for this decline. Therefore to achieve a sustainable development, Citizenship education as a subject should be made a compulsory in all levels of our educational system, the private sector and non - governmental organizations should be actively involved in educational financing and there is need to improve on supervision of schools by relevant agencies.
