Education as aided by the world bank: A critical analysis of post-independence projects in Nigeria

Article Abstract:

The World Bank's role in the development of education in Nigeria dates back to 1953. Many critics of the universal primary education (UPE) system saw the problems of low staff retention, too large classes and lack of parental cooperation as consequences of non-adherence to technical advice offered by the World Bank Mission. Many years of World Bank assistance to education in the country have produced very poor results, and efforts need to be made to ensure equity, efficiency and effectiveness in loan allocation and management if Nigeria must use World Bank funds.
