【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to examine the current inequalities within Nigeria’s education system with a brief focus on Lagos, Ondo State and Ogun State. It will also examine how the current system is funded and will consider the percentage of GDP the government spends on education in Nigeria in comparison to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to this, the inequalities in terms of the payment of school fees within both the private and public sectors in Lagos will be examined. Furthermore, the quality of education in Nigeria in terms of resourcing, facilities, and equipment and class sizes will be evaluated. Comparisons will be made about the relationship between education and economic growth. This paper intends to examine the quality of the current education system and the extent to which adult illiteracy is increasing in Nigeria. The paper will highlight the current trends in Nigeria’s education system and will finally put forward recommendations to improve Nigeria’s education system.
