Review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>literature</strong> on basic education in Nigeria4. Continued Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development <strong>of</strong> Practicing Teachers: Opportunities abound for teachers forupward pr<strong>of</strong>essional mobility. However, stricter supervision would seem to be needed in thisdirection.5. Teachers’ full involvement in Educational Development: Any school system that does not involve <strong>the</strong>teacher and <strong>the</strong> stakeholders is under utilizing its resources and truncating its potentials.FINANCING OF EDUCATION1. The Data Problem: Though <strong>the</strong> Federal Government, State Government and Local GovernmentAreas produce data on executed budgets annually, <strong>the</strong>se are not collated into comprehensiveGovernment accounts presenting global sectoral breakdowns <strong>of</strong> expenditure. A mechanism must bedeveloped whereby data are generated and made available on all aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financing <strong>of</strong>education in <strong>the</strong> country.2. Dwindling facilities: Several studies in recent years have shown that facilities in schools are in adeplorable condition. It is imperative that steps are taken urgently to beef up <strong>the</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> allsuch facilities at all <strong>the</strong> levels <strong>of</strong> education. This would stem <strong>the</strong> tide not only <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> infrastructuraldecay in <strong>the</strong> institutions, but also <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> general decline in morale for learning.3. Competing demands on government: It has become apparent that <strong>the</strong>re is a limit to which <strong>the</strong> totalrevenue generated by Government can go because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> competing demands on Government fromall sectors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> economy.It is, <strong>the</strong>refore, imperative that financing <strong>of</strong> education should become <strong>the</strong> ‘responsibility <strong>of</strong> all’.CROSS CUTTING CHALLENGES1. Community participation and partnership in educational development is generally growing but <strong>the</strong>bulk <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> partnership appears largely limited to efforts <strong>of</strong> Parents.2. The types <strong>of</strong> support that groups in <strong>the</strong> communities provide are largely in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong>provision/repair <strong>of</strong> physical facilities.3. Ensuring transparency and accountability has also been a challenge, especially with donor-assistedprojects.4. On Special Education, <strong>the</strong> need to pursue <strong>the</strong> following goals <strong>of</strong> EFA:a. By 2015 all children particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belongingto ethnic minorities, should have access to and complete free and compulsory primaryeducation <strong>of</strong> good quality.b. By 2005, gender disparities in primary and secondary education should be eliminated whilegender equality in education will be realized by 2015.EDOREN – Education Data, Research and Evaluation in Nigeria 181
