Promoting a transparent system in Nigeria’s education sector will help revamp the sector that has seen several capital and manpower flight in the last two decades, an educationist has said.
Nigeria’s standard of education has dropped hugely, a situation that is evident in the high level of ‘unemployable’ graduates lacking necessary skills necessary to created jobs and grow the economy.
The Executive Director of the Institute of Communication and Corporate Studies, Dr Austin Tam-George, attributed the development to poor funding, mismanagement of appropriated funds, poor monitoring of how funds are used and the absence of punishment for persons found to have mismanaged funds provided for education.
“Investment in education is low due to poor implementation of budgetary allocation to education. The failure of institutions in place to monitor how money appropriated to education is spent has also affected the quality of education in Nigeria,” he told Channels Television on Monday, insisting that an accountable process will go a long way in revamping the education system.
