Many Nigerians take unhelpful attitude to public schools because of the pathetic state of facilities in most public schools. Nigerians have concluded that nothing good comes out of public schools. They do everything possible to make sure their children receive quality education at private schools.
If majority of today’s leaders are products of public education, apparently, something is definitely missing in the public school system. Considering the importance of education in Nigeria, there is radical and desperate need to restore the lost glory in this system.
To facilitate this restoration, seasoned academics in the education sector need to meet minds to proffer lasting solutions to this systemic failure in Nigerian public education.
