Abstract.
This article examines the Nigerian National Education Policy in the Delta Senatorial south District of Delta
State- Distortions in Formulation and Implementation. The population of this study comprised of all the Head teachers in the public primary schools in Delta South Senatorial District of Delta State. A sample of 160 Head teachers was drawn using a stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected and analyzed using the chi-square contingency table with a significance level of 0.05. Results showed that male and female Head teachers do not differ in their perception of dichotomy in educational policy formulation and implementation. Also, experienced and less- experienced Head teachers do not differ on factors that influence the implementation of education policies and programmes. Among other things, the document recommends that policy makers should stop playing politics through education policy and ensure that education policy is implemented effectively and efficiently.
Keywords: education policy, dichotomy, program implementation, Head teachers, primary school.
