Abstract:

This paper examines the interface between education and national development. Education is the bedrock for national development but in Nigeria there is a wide continuum between the two as the reality on ground still proves that we are still far from actualizing this. Lack of quality education in our nation continues to stare at our faces with indices such as: high rate of Nigerians travelling abroad for study, parents sending their children to private schools, paying high for after school tuition, engaging teachers for private lessons at home and so on. Hence, quantity is replacing quality. Therefore, this paper conceptualizes education, quality education and national development, discusses the indices of quality education. It also outlines factors militating against quality education in Nigeria; highlights the interface between quality education and national development, and chart ways of enhancing the quality of education as a platform for national development in Nigeria.
