INTRODUCTION
Education is the bedrock of every existing community or nation; its relevance to development cannot be overemphasized.
No nation can aspire to greatness without adopting education as an instrument for effecting national development.
This is why there has been a lot of emphasis, particularly in recent times, on the importance of all citizens of the world having access to basic education.
It is also in recognition of the importance of education that the International Communities and governments all over the world have stressed the need for citizens to have access to education.
Basic education has always been an important concern for society and the government. This is because universal literacy and the success of secondary and post-secondary education depend on the extensiveness and efficiency of basic education system of a country.
As a result, basic education is viewed as a service that must be provided to the populace, irrespective of affordability. It is generally considered to be the responsibility of the state to deliver primary education (Nicholas,2012).
After attaining independence in 1960, Nigerian government made efforts to reshape the education system in line with the yearnings of the time.
