Reconfiguring the Nigerian Education System

Reconfiguring the Nigerian Education System: A Historical Reappraisal and Cultural Renaissance utilises theoretical models and scholarly research to provide thoughtful and unique perspectives on the Nigerian education system. It also gives a concise review of teaching and learning in the country, recognising the notable progress that the nation’s education system has made thus far, but advancing proximate solutions to certain challenges in the system. It explores the system briefly, not only from its historical antecedents but also from a psycho-socio-cultural stance.

This book is intended to help everyone who is interested in the true progress of education in Nigeria, but especially students in tertiary institutions and beyond, to get a broad overview of what the Nigerian education system looks like and its challenges and those of the nation writ large. The book presents, moreover, an insightful promotion of good education, culture, ethics, and general human welfare in the country. It is structured in such a way as to prepare the minds of students, graduates, teachers, administrators, stakeholders, and education policymakers for the future education, leadership, management, and policymaking that are in tune with our immediate environment as well as deemed appropriate for the twenty-first century and beyond.
