Abstract

The issues concerning educational regulatory agencies and performance evaluation of higher institutions in Nigeria has remained an empirical issue in the nation’s development literature for the past few decades. Several resources are available to help regulatory agencies carry out their performance evaluation process. However several identified problems have inhibited regulatory agencies from effectively carrying out their mandate. Policies and procedures have not been streamlined to handle the vast load on education system. There has been high external interference and pressure in all aspects of education. Wide variation in admission policies adopted by various institutions and Government has played a role. In view of this, the study examines the effect of educational regulatory agencies on performance evaluation of higher institutions in Nigeria. In doing this, survey research design was adopted. The population of the study consists of staff of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) Kaduna. Through purposive sampling technique, the study selected Ninety (90) staff as sample size. Data were collected through primary and secondary sources. The data were organized and analyzed around the research questions. The data generated by the researchers were analyzed using the statistical means on five Liker type scale. Findings show that there has been high external interference and pressure in all aspects of education. Wide variation in admission policies adopted by various institutions and Government has played a role. Inadequate infrastructure and facilities have compounded the problem. The paper therefore recommended that external interference and pressure in all aspects of education should be curtailed; there is need for a well designed institutional structure to be adopted to sustain performance. Developing of structure involves participatory approach through allocation of task responsibility and authority within the institution
