The Politicization of Education in Nigeria: Implications for School Leadership

Abstract

The work seeks to examine political issues in Nigerian Education. It employs the philosophical methods of enquiry, namely, critical reflections, analysis and speculation. The paper is relevant to stakeholders in education, viz, Government, Ministry of Education, Educationalists, Teachers, Parents, Politicians, School Managers and Administrators. The position of the researcher is that politicization such as ethnicity, religion and god-fatherism have multiplier effects on Nigeria Education. If politicization is discouraged, Nigeria stands a better position in her educational developmental processes.
