The Role of Public Administration in Managing The Educational System for Quality Improvement and Job Creation in Nigeria

Abstract

The role of Public Administration as a government machinery should not be only relegated to simple implementation of programs. In other words, it should include improving and enriching the effectiveness of those programs as well as providing the necessary update to keep track of the pace of development within the continent and beyond. Educational development, to be specific, should take care of all the significant issues from all angles such as job creation, security, international relations, modern scientific and technological innovations, etc. And for Nigeria’s educational system to be salvaged from being the shadow of its former self, educational policies must be backed up with appropriate funding and implemented with commitment, seriousness and a sense of direction for the greater good of all its citizens.
