PRACTICES, ISSUES AND CONCEPTS IN EDUCATION IN NIGERIA

Abstract

The effectiveness of any educational system depends largely on the quality of its management. Educational management involves planning, organizing, and supervising educational institutions to achieve their goals. In recent years, the Nigerian educational system has faced numerous challenges, including inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and a shortage of qualified teachers. These challenges have significant implications for the quality of education provided to students, ultimately affecting their academic achievement and prospects. Furthermore, the rapid changes in the global economy and technological advancements have created new demands on educational institutions, requiring them to adapt and innovate to remain relevant. In response to these challenges, there is a growing need for educational managers who possess the knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively manage educational institutions. Effective educational management is critical to ensuring that schools operate efficiently, provide a supportive learning environment, and achieve their academic goals.
