Abstract

Education is adopted globally as an instrument of change and development. Today, the 21 st Century nations are judged by their level of educational development via the world development index. Education is the instrument for launching nations into the world of science and technology and with consequential hope of human advancement in terms of living conditions and development of the environment. This is because, education, in the life of a nation, is the life wire of its growth and also the foundation of moral regeneration and revival of its people. It is also the force and bulwark of any nation's defense and it has been observed that no nation rises above the level of its education system. Being a major investment in human capital development, education plays a critical role in long-term productivity and growth at both micro and macro levels. It is the same in Nigeria as in other parts of the world. According to Nigeria's policy document on education (FGN 2014), education is an instrument 'par excellence for national development.
