Never mind whatever antidote the government of day may wish to administer to bring back education’s lost glory even when the remedies looks more like challenges in the education sector.
However, the nation has in recent times been pleasantly informed by President Muhammadu Buhari why the education sector urgently needs more funds.
A government that is serious about education or is desired to spend more would reveal such ambition in its annual budget. Better still, take the bull by the horn and declare an emergency in the education sector to send a clear message of action to the stakeholders. For instance, in this year’s budget, the government only apportioned 5.6 per cent to the education sector out of a total of N13.6 trillion budget.
An increase in education fund is more likely to set the key for the development of the country’s human capital. In the same breath, much as funding is necessary to uplift education standard, we should not downplay other critical hunchback that are not amenable or a quick-fix solutions.
