Abstract
The importance of education to the development of any nation needs not be overemphasized; consequently, the falling standard and decline in quality of Education have become a public outcry. Education is a fundamental right which every child must acquire in any decent society. It is important to the development of individuals and societies. According to Maduabum (2006), education which is of greater value in our society can be seen as the art or science of transmitting culture, norms, traditions, values and ethics of a society from one generation to its succeeding generation. It is seen as a catalyst to modem successes and productive future; it kills the disease of ignorance and superstition (Maduabum, 2006). Babs Fafunwa in 1974 defines Education. as the aggregate of all the processes by which a child or young adult develops the abilities, attitudes and other forms of behaviour of positive value to the society in which he lives (Onuoha, 2010). Highlighting the Nigeria's falling standard of education; Teachers without Boarders (2006) reported that the standard of education is how the products of schools can be measured in terms of outcome.
