school level has also been increasing, and rose from 58 to 68 per cent in 1991 and 2005, respectively (UNDP, 2008). In general, an increasing literacy rate implies that an increasing number of children should be adequately catered for at higher levels of the education system. Secondary school level However, at the secondary school level, the net enrolment rate is relatively low, being 27 per cent in 2005 (UNDP, 2008). The gender disparity was narrow in the same year, at 28 and 23 per cent for male and female students, respectively. Levels of education The number of people with tertiary education, comprising graduate output at the postgraduate diploma and bachelor’s degree levels, and at the master’s degree and PhD levels, is not only low, but declining, with total figures of 90,579, 69,300 and 39,506 in 2002/2003, 2003/2004 and 2004/2005, respectively, as shown in Table 16 (see annex)(NUC, 2005). Quality of education The teacher/pupil ratios at primary and post-primary education levels are high; however, these are decreasing over time. At the primary school level, the ratios were 1:44 (2003), 1:33 (2004) and 1:35 (2005). At the secondary school level, they were 1:40 (2003), 1:35 (2004) and 1:35 (2005) (UBEC, 2005). The same generally applies at the polytechnic/monotechnic level, with 1:29 (2003) and 1:35 (2004), with a sudden drop to 1:14 in 2005 (NUC, 2005). Even at the university level, the ratios were still high, yet declining, with 1:27 (2003), 1:30 (2004) and 1:31 (2005) (UBEC, 2005), as shown in Table 17 (see annex). In general, the high ratios indicate an overburdened education system with many pupils or students per teacher/lecturer and a possible adverse impact on the quality of education. Access to the educational system Figures relating to national access to primary school indicate that three quarters (75%) of pupils were within a relatively accessible distance from primary schools (meaning that they can readily reach school) in 2006. However, there was disparity between the level of accessibility for pupils in urban centres (86.7%) and rural areas (71.0%) (NBS, 2006a). 44 <strong>Migration</strong> in Nigeria: A Country <strong>Profile</strong> 2009
Identified skill shortages by sector and profession Another indicator of the adverse effect of the poor and declining quality of education are the number and types of identified skill shortages in the country. According to the National Manpower Board (2004), occupations that had very high vacancy rates (of greater than 10%) during 2002 and 2004 included doctors, agronomists, pharmacists, veterinarians, physicists, statisticians, mechanical engineers, surveyors, architects, technologists and technicians. These are the skills needed for health care and development in the country, and any shortages in this area will hinder development. 12 12 Information provided by a member of the technical working group established under the National <strong>Migration</strong> <strong>Profile</strong> Project, Nigeria. <strong>Migration</strong> in Nigeria: A Country <strong>Profile</strong> 2009 45
