According to one of the Nigerian
dailies, Nigeria was one of the 164 countries that pledged to achieve Education
for All by 2015 at a World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal in 2000, hopes
were high that, by 2015, all school-age children would have access to education
while adult illiteracy would be a thing of the past.
Fifty-five years after
independence and 16 years of democratic government, concerned educationists are
of the opinion that the Nigerian education sector seems to be in extended
infancy as mass failure in external examinations, corruption, failure to meet
the Education for All (EFA) target, inadequate funding and unqualified
teachers, among others, still bedevil the sector.
Base on the body language of
this present administration, Is it appropriate to rate the education sector
other than an absolute failure?
