Preface

Background of the Study

Backing formal education in Nigeria has come an issue of public concern as a result of the present profitable down turn and worldwide affectation. According to Central Bank of Nigeria( 2003), poor backing has been the bane of Nigerian education system to the extent that the popular allocation has been veritably low. likewise, the civil government allocation to education has declined steadily since 1999 and is much lower than average in the last five times. This is particularly important in view of huge increase in number of input at all situations of education primary, secondary seminaries and tertiary. Ajetomob and Ayanwale ( 2004) observed that one of the approaches government adopts in backing education in Nigeria is the periodic popular allocation to the sector that are distributed as annuity or subventions to the different situations of education the subventions or grants are made through separate education ministry of government by the coordinating agencies of education similar as the National University Commission( NUC), National Commission for Colleges of Education( NABTEB), Secondary seminaries Education Management Board( SEMB) and Universal Basic Education

Commission. They went further to say that since the oil painting extremity in the eighties, the proportion of capital budget allocated to education has been constantly lower than the proportion of intermittent expenditure over the times, the government capital expenditure allocated to education as a chance of total capital budgets ranged from as low as1.7 percent in 1999 and not over to 9 in all case. Like total budget, the proportion wasn’t harmonious and this still, has braked progresses in erecting installations( Okunamiri, 2007). This view agrees with Moja( 2000) when he asserts that structure of classroom has not kept up with increased registration in all situations of Education in Nigeria. Worst affected are primary and secondary schoolsschools where classes are offered in the open air. In several secondary schoolsschools, as numerous as four classes are accommodated in one classroom and these are classes that are formerly over crowded and in poor state of repairs. In addition, laboratories and outfit are grossly shy and the attendant problems in terms of quality of education generally tell on the products( Ajetomobi & Ayanwale, 2004). Abdullahi( 2003) stated

“ since independence there has been a harmonious adding demand for educational services in Nigeria. This demand arose as a result of population growth, adding social demands( the desire to educate a good proportion of the population) and need for further professed force in the country. The adding demand on educational services means the establishment of further seminaries and provision of further preceptors and accoutrements . The result is that the burden of backing education in Nigeria, which rests substantially on the colorful categories of government, is getting unsupportable. This fact is apparent by the actuality of multitudinous problems persecuting the Education sector in the country. It’s a forthcoming conclusion that in Nigeria with a population of over 100 million, a good chance of which consists of youthful people, the backing of education can no longer be completely left in the hands of government( p

43) ”

The script described over, particularly the rapid-fire changes in the education sector since independence, depicts a state of chaos in the sector. The result is that multitudinous problems are fluently perceptible in the sector including the following

1. Poor infrastructural installations in seminaries at all situations.

2. Poor number and quality of preceptors particularly at primary and secondary seminaries position

3. Poor quality products( graduate) from seminaries at all situations.

4. Loss of confidence by the general pubic in the sector.

utmost of these problems arose from shy backing of the sector

Nwagwu, 2002).

Fashina( 2005) observe that in 1994, the backing formula was revised by the government so that the state would partake 50 inversely, therefore educationally underprivileged countries 25, pupil registration 25 and population of the countries 10. In 1999, the also government scrapped the National Primary Education Fund( NPEF) and reconstituted it under another name( the National Primary Education Commission). This action was taken in recognition of the countries and original government’s indigenous responsibility for backing and managing primary education. Indispensable source of backing explored by government is the Education Tax Fund( ETF) established in 1995. It assured that companies with further than 100 workers contribute 2 of their pretax earnings to the fund. Primary education receives 40 of this fund; secondary seminaries education receives 10 and advanced education 50. Primary education has in the history also entered from Petroleum Trust Fund( PTF) for capital expenditure and provision of educational accoutrements . While in advanced institutions, gifts, talent finances, consultancy services granges, satellite premises ,pre-degrees are other indispensable backing sources. Despite all the druthers , the architectures, and installations remain shy for managing with a system that’s growing at a veritably rapid-fire pace. The periodic population growth rate was3.3(C.B.N, 2003). Due to poor backing, the quality of education offered is affected by poor attendance and shy medication by preceptors at all situations. The morale of preceptors is low due to introductory condition of service and low hires.

likewise, physical installations need to be upgraded and coffers similar as libraries, ultramodern communication and information technology outfit have to be handed( Anozie, 2000).

The hunt for meeting these introductory education requirements has been the cause of everlasting extremity between government trade union similar as Nigerian union of preceptors( NUT), Academic staff union of universities( ASUU),

Non-Academic staff union( NASU). In the same direction, Ogbonnaya( 2005) contends that education sector competes with the artificial, health, husbandry, communication sectors of the frugality and as similar demands effective backing from government. The same is true of other sectors. therefore, the finances made available for education are noway enough as these sectors must admit attention as well. In view of the below, it may be observed that formal education is at cross roads in the country, especially when other sectors of the frugality are contending keenly for attention as much as education does in the public popular allocation.

In the same tone, Okunamiri( 2007) observed that, at independence, government backing of formal education increased extensively especially in the seventies following the increase in profit from confederation account due to the oil painting smash which made it possible for the preface of Universal

Primary Education( UPE) civil, in September 1976. Within same period, scholars in tertiary institutions enjoyed free education, education loan and bursaries. The country began to set for herself precedences and these precedences were pursued and financed towards the fruition of objects of education in public development. All these sweats were geared towards appearing the civil government’s policy as spelt out in the public policy on Education, that government ultimate objects is to make education free at all situations, that the backing of education is a common responsibility of the civil, state and original governments and that in this connection, government welcomes and encourages private agencies in helping to finance education.

Indeed, the policy stressed the part of the three, categories of government in the backing of education, similar as provision of fund for the structure of classroom block, laboratory outfit, payment of preceptors payment by the categories under which the institutions belongs to. But the government has failed to involve private and non-governmental

especially now that present profitable down turn, arising from the global profitable recession could no longer permit government to completely meet its fiscal obligation to educationsector.However, its precedences similar as backing by the government and participation by the private sector have to be addressed, If formal education must achieve its estimable pretensions and objects as rooted in the National Policy on Education.

Appraisal of the part of Ministry of Education towards backing is an attempt to estimate the extent to which Ministry of Education being in the communities meet up with their backing scores to public secondary schoolsschools, putting into consideration certain bench marks for Ministry of Education participations in the backing of public secondary schoolsschools in the area in which they live.

According to commercial affairs commission report( 2008), contends that “ in order to promote academy, community relationship, private associations being in the communities should directly or laterally share in the backing of public seminaries in the area in which they live.

thus, the following forms the bench mark for evaluation of nongovernmental association participation in the backing of public secondary schoolsschools.

1. Donations for the development of academy shops

2. Donations for award of education

3. Provision for talent fund.

4. Staff weal and development

5. Provision of finances for purchase of stationeries.

The apathy of the Ministry of Educations that’s those association that live in the communities which aren’t possessed by the government similar as Christian Association of Nigeria, Rotary Club

International, Development Association, like city union, Alumni

Association and request women Associations in educational backing in Nigeria and which has put the major thrust of provision of formal education on government has been verified by Jaiyeoba and Atanada( 2004) and Okunamiri( 2007). These experimenters observed that poor backing of seminaries and shy provision of coffers to manage with the ever- adding demand for educational provision have led to shy provision of installations for effective tutoring and literacy and therefore hinders achievement of educational objects.

Statement of the Problem

Backing of formal education in Nigeria has been a topical issue due to the present bleak in frugality arising from the global inflationary trend and profitable down turn. Inspite of the sweats of the different governments of the confederation to give finances for education, educational institutions still warrant the necessary finances to apply colorful programmes.

The problem of this study radiated from colorful crunches associated with the Nigerian educational system, crunches in terms of tutoring and literacy installations, academy shops, remitment of preceptors hires, ultramodern technologies, uncondusive literacy terrain. This therefore, arouses the interest of the experimenter to probe the extent to which different sources of income are used for the development of secondary seminaries academy in Yola megalopolis.

thus, the problem of this study is to estimate the extent to which different profitable agent sources of income are used for the development of.

Purpose of the Study

The main purpose of this study is to carry out a check on different sources of income for development of secondary seminaries academy in Yola megalopolis

specifically, the study seeks to

1. Find out the extent to which community development Associations fund post primary institutions.

2. Find out the extent to which rotary club transnational fund postprimary seminaries.

3. estimate the extent to which Christian Association of Nigeria finances public secondary schoolsschools.

4. Determine the extent to which Alumni Associations finances secondary seminaries.

5. Find out the extent request woman Associations fund secondary seminaries.

6. To determine the extent to which government fund and develop secondary seminaries academy in Yola megalopolis

Significance of the Study

The benefits that shall accrue from this study are numerous. Specifically, scholars, parents, academy headliners and experimenters. This study will be of benefit to scholars because, they’re the direct heirs of what goes on in the seminaries. thus, setting the extent to whichnon-governmental and government associations finances seminaries will show a clear picture of the fiscal state of secondary schoolsschools, will goad suggestions on how to deal with the colorful crunches associated with the academy system.

Another group that will profit from this study are parents. This is because these group of people have their children in seminaries where colorful crunches have been limiting effective tutoring and literacy. thus, if their children will profit from this study as scholars, laterally their parents would also profit from this study.

The findings of the study will be of immense benefit to colorful categories of government similar as original, state and civil government to whom the burden of educational backing seems to have left with. This study will show a clear picture on the extent to which Ministry of Education fundpost-primary seminaries thereby serving as an appraisal report to the government.

The findings of the study will be of immense benefit to academy headliners who have been the victims of crunches of coffers demanded for effective prosecution of educational programmes, since this study aims at setting the extent to which Ministry of Education finances educational institutions. presumably, suggestions on how to ameliorate private sector participation in backing may be arrived at thereby enabling academy headliners to have enough coffers to execute educational programmes in seminaries.

Incipiently, the result of this study will be of significance to unborn experimenters who may wish to accomplish studies relating to the problem under study.
