Abstract.
This paper examines Nigeria’s educational system from the colonial era to the
present day. Various Nigeria education policies, Historical development and
contemporary realities are as well discussed. Education has been known by every
society as a veritable instrument of social, political, economic and technological
advancement. It is a means of improving the living standard of individual for
effective performance of responsibilities. However, education in Nigeria is in a state
of dilemma and disarray as a result of inconsistency and maladministration, non-implementation
of educational polices, corruption which has been perpetuated by
stakeholders in the education management. Therefore, there has been a serious
outcry by concerned Nigerians to re-examine and reappraise our educational
system for effective policy formulation and administration so as to transform the
system. Against this backdrop, it was discovered that for Nigeria to rapidly develop
and sustain such transformation, efforts through capacity building should be geared
to eliminate those factors affecting the system negatively. Finally, it is recommended
that transformative education should be offered to enhance quality and standard in
the system for effective policy formulation and administration of the education
system.
