Abstract
Background to the Study Education holds the key to the sustainable development of humanity and every nation. Education makes it possible for man to continuously adapt to the changing circumstances of his culture and environment. It is a process through which individuals are made participating members of the society, the system through which man becomes a moral agent capable of living in a society and contributing towards the growth and development of the society; a process through which the young acquires the ability to be useful to himself and others, and a process through which man realizes his potentialities and uses it for self-fulfillment in the service of himself and others (Ocho, 2005). Education is important for self realization, self actualization and self confidence of individuals. Education implies the development of independent, self reliant, free, responsible, morally upright citizens and effectively contributing members of the society rather than parasites (Ukeje, 1986 in Asogwa 2010). This essence of education in human development had since been noted. Hence Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December, 1948, had made the following provisions: i. 12 Everyone has the right to education. This shall be free at least in the elementary and primary stages. ii. iii. iv. Elementary education shall be compulsory while technical and professional education shall be made generally available. Higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children (Nwagwu, 1976 in Ocho, 2005:66-69). Similarly, the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended 2011, under the fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy, section 18 sub-sections (1 - 3) also provides as follows: Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels. Government shall promote science and technology (education) Government shall strive to eradicate illiteracy, and to this end, government shall as and when practicable provide: a. Free compulsory and universal primary education b. Free university education; and c. Free adult literacy programme. Thus, members of the society require education not only to be able to fit properly into the society but to be effectively contributing members of the society.
