CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria, education for a
long time was almost a private enterprise. The missionaries individual and some
voluntary organizations shoulder the respective responsibilities of providing
education for teeming and over increasing population of the country. In 1973,
the, Bendel State government education edict of the previous year (1972)
resolved the ownership and control of educational institutions and of economy
from these private organizations individual and religious groups. This was done
largely with a view to ensuring that the interest served by education is
entirely Nigerian. As would be expressed there was an increase in the number of
schools under state control. This brought in the numerous administrative and
financial problems. As this situation was not bad enough, the government of
professor Ambrose Alli declared free education in 1979, at the same time, Allis
government encouraged communities to establish more colleges on their own and
also take active part in their day to day running. With the increase in the
number of schools and students in 1972, it became clear that government efforts
alone cannot sustain the schools system. A direct result of this was that
schools financing and physical development also became a partnership between
the state government and the people represented by a body known as parent
teachers association.

edict of 1972 earlier given legal backing and encouragement to the formulation

assistance to the school
3.
