Abstract

With the current state of public schools all over the country, there is a clarion call for private and foreign institutions to come to the rescue and support the effort of the government. There is also a need for the government to set its priorities right and increase its budgetary allocation to education. This study considers the extent to which public-private partnership (also known as PPP) in education can bring about the attainment of sustainable development. The baseline theory for this study was anchored on systems theory which considers the sum total of a whole as the interaction amongst its interrelated parts. The study diagnosed the extent to which the budgetary allocation to education can bring about effective sustainability development with not greater than 15% allocation from the total budget. This is indeed a clear reason why private institutions should come in and synergize with public institutions to ensure that schools are competitive.
