dc.description.abstractThis study is focused on the Management of Primary Education in the Northern States of Nigeria from 1976 to 1998. Specifically the study was interested in finding out the concept of Management of Primary Education, the planning of Primary Education from 1976 to 1998, supervision of Schools and instruction, pupils enrolment and retention, quality and quantity of teachers, supply of facilities and equipment, staff development and curriculum in use in primary schools. In an effort to undertake the research work, ten research questions and nine hypotheses were formulated to serve as guide in the process. The major ones are that there is no significant difference in the opinions of the officials of the FMOE, NPEC, SPEB, LGEAS and Head Teachers of Primary Schools with respect to adequacy of funding primary education in the Northern States; there is no significant difference in the opinion of the officials of the FMOE, NPEC, SPEB, LGEAs and Head Teachers of Primary Schools with respect to the procedure of funding primary education in the Northern States; there is no significant difference in the opinions of the officials of the FMOE, NPEC, SPEB, LGEAs and Head Teachers of Primary Schools with respect to teachers' qualification in primary schools of the Northern States. The method used in obtaining data on the issues mentioned above was the questionnaire and it was administered to respondents from the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Primary Education Commission, the State Primary Education Boards, the Local Government Education Authorities and Head-teachers of primary schools. The data collected were first presented in frequencies and percentages. They were later subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Scheffe Multiple Range statistical testings. The major findings of the research indicated that there were inconsistencies in the Management of Primary Education in the Northern States of Nigeria in all the three tiers of government in control at one time or the other. It was similarly discovered that most of the problems characterising primary education in the Northern States of Nigeria were as a result of poor funding of the sector. To this end, it was recommended that more funds need to be allocated to primary education commensurate to its needs. Another finding of the research is that people now want a shift in control of the Management of Primary education from the joint system to state government so that problems such as financial matters, enrolment and retention, supply of facilities and equipment would be addressed squarely. Similarly, to further improve upon the management of the sector, it is recommended that there should be consistency in the system adopted in the management of primary education sector in the northern states. Similarly there is the need for the government to encourage community participation in education through the Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) or Community Based Organisations (CBOs).en_US
