Indeed, to a considerable extent, gender has been a subsidiary issue in Nigerian society. The traditional social structures have been offering limited incentives for amending the existing distribution of power between men and women. The Nigerian society (pre-modern and contemporary) has been significantly dotted with peculiar cultural practices that are potently inimical to women’s emancipation, such as early/forced marriage, wife-inheritance and widowhood practices, such unequal social and gender relations needs to be transformed in order to take women out of want and poverty. As daughters self-identify as females with their mother and sisters, and sons as males with their father and brothers, gender stereotyping becomes institutionalized within the family unit. Also, the dominant narratives of religion in both colonial and post-colonial Nigerian society indeed privileges men at the detriment of women, even in educational accessibility. As such, our society remains entrapped in ‘history of analogy’ whereby it is either exoticised, or simply represented as part of European history. Therefore, acknowledge that whatever socio-cultural norms that deny women equal rights with men will also render women more vulnerable to physical, sexual and mental abuse.
The colonial conception of gender conspicuously marginalized the womenfolk; while it privileged men. Since cultural imperialism viewed Eurocentric religion, ideas and morals as innately superior to those of the natives, the resultant changes brought about by this imperial summation were, of course, noticeable in relations between both sexes in the continent, imperialism visibly enabled the imposition of rigid binaries about everything, including gender perceptions, on our collective consciousness; which the Christian and Muslim religious texts effectively reinforced. It was asserted that domestic education as enshrined in the ideology of ‘housewification’ which was a social engineering initiative designed to create ‘suitable’
Wives for indigenous colonial employees further disempowered women socially, and economically.
Subsequently, the colonial exclusion of women from most sectors of the formal labour market for domestic works’ engagement which were largely unrewarded has been observed as one of the most formidable factors responsible for women’s marginal significance in contemporary African societies. Indeed, the exclusively male, bureaucratic apparatus did away altogether with pre-colonial system; which clearly permitted women some level of political and economic participation.
Finally, The economic sector of our society is one area where discrimination against women has been richly pronounced. According to the CEC Report (2007), the role of women in employment and economic activities is often underestimated because most of women work in the informal sectors, usually with low productivity and incomes, poor working conditions, with little or no social protection. It observes that the female labour force in sub-Saharan Africa in 2005 was about 73 million, representing 34% of those employed in the formal sector, earning only 10% of the income, while owning 1% of the assets. However, the denial of women’s inheritance and land rights has made their economic participation considerably constrained and by implication, their educational aspiration ,such government’s macro-economic policies like liberalization of petroleum sector and removal of subsidies e.g. on fertilizer, have always created distortions, in spite of strides women (rural dwellers) make in self reliance. To this end, it is believed that the contradictions between the latent and manifest functions of public policy have often been the bane of all emancipatory agenda in Nigeria. This is my own comment on the issue why equal education remains a dream in Nigeria, Thank you.
EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION REMAIN A DREAM IN NIGERIA. By Ganiyah, Abdul Azeez LA/SO12/0099

Introduction Access, according to FGN 2003, implies making it possible for everyone who is entitled to education to receive it. Tonwe (2005), Dada (2004) defined access as the right to receive formal education as distinct from informal education, while UNESCO (2003) puts "access in tertiary education as meaning, "ensuring equitable access to tertiary education institutions is based on merit, capacity, efforts and perseverance". Equity in education as put by Ene (2007) implies ensuring that all the segments of the society get their fair share of access to whatever educational opportunities are provided. In summary, access implies opportunity for formal education while equity is fairness in admission. The National Policy on Education provides for equal opportunities for all Nigerian citizens at all levels of education without discrimination.
Access to and Equity in University Education The demand for university education has become very high in recent times. Teeming numbers of youths cannot matriculate. This may be due to population explosion and the after effect of universal primary education of 1976. Nigeria universities should expect more applications in some years ahead when the products of UBE begin to move into higher institutions. The demand for university education has reached an unprecedented high level that Nigeria needs more than double the current number of universities to meet the required need. Government Initiatives in access and equity in Nigerian Universities
Recommendations In view of the above discussions on access to and equity in admission to Nigerian universities, and equally to address the impediments emanating thereof, the following recommendations are made: To enhance access to universities, the issue of quota system or federal character or catchment should be reviewed. Catchment should mean those who live in the area where the university is located. Private universities can still be encouraged but profit-making should be minimized. University education can be seen as service oriented. They can still charge their fees but must not be exploitative. Open Universities and Distant Learning (ODL) should be encouraged. Government should mount campaigns to alert the university candidates of the advantages of ODL and take the opportunity to acquire university education. The existing conventional universities should be well funded so that there will be expansion.
EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM OMOTOLA OLALEKAN GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING DEPARTMENT 1st OF4 GROUP A Whereas the National policy on Education provides for equal access to Education and the pursuit of an egalitarian society, the political will of the stakeholders leaves much to be desired. The assertion, “equal access to Education in Nigeria remains a dream” cannot be wholly upheld. However, there are facts that can lead to accepting it as partially true. The National budget on education is grossly inadequate and cannot meet the needs of the education industry. Moreover the number of education institutions in the country is grossly inadequate for those needing to enter the institutions at various levels. The inadequacy/lack of skilled and qualified teachers affect access to education in Nigeria Educational development demands that pupils/students move from one level to the other. But where there is dearth of qualified and skilled personnel the pupil/students will not perform to required and acceptable standard, hence entry into the next level will be affected in a way. This fact is playing out in the educational situations between the northern part of Nigeria and the southern part of the country. In the north it is believed that the southern part is more advanced educationally. This has affected admission policies over the years. Again the Educational institutions should be empowered to produce more qualified and skilled manpower. Another factor responsible for unequal access to education is the religious and culture of the people, Nigeria has so many nation states with different religious and diverse cultures. In some parts of the country, western education is considered as a “forbidden” phenomenon – Boko Haram. This principle/doctrine has led to insurgence in some part of the north destabilizing the system, killing and destroying infrastructure in educational institution leading to the loss of Man, Money and Materials. Another destabilizing fact is the issue of Nomads in the north; nomads move from one place to another this making formal education a difficulty. Government has to plan for the education of these nomads with is both money and time consuming. Another fact worth looking at, for the unequal access to education in Nigeria is the socio-economic status of the parents of children. Most parents have low income and cannot help their children even when they gain entry in the higher institutions. The problem of inadequate infrastructure in the schools must be addressed to ensure equal access to education in Nigeria. The spread and location of Education institution in the Country is another problem. There should be even spread and specialization in the school.

IKECHUKWU BLESSING DEPARTMENT - ECONOMICS, 1ST OF 4 GROUP A
Nigeria is a large country of about 88 million people. perhaps one of the largest country in Africa and indeed in the whole black race. situated in West Africa, it is larger than the whole of the sub-region.
Nigeria boasts of over 250 different ethnic groups found across the length and breath of it. but there are three major ones. Hausa in the north, Ibo in the east and Yoruba in the west and with its academic challenges, hence, equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream.
It shows that there cannot be equal access to education in Nigeria due to: (a) Any attempt to equalize it is futile (dream) reasons been that differences in ideologies, illiteracy, religious differences, etc.
(b) It is a dream that cannot be executed or materialized as a result of the lack of willingness the part of some government officials, different tribes, economic dilemma etc.

"EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM"
I totally subscribe to this and i believe it will for ever be a dream due to the following reasons: 1) The kind of society we have in Nigeria is one in which the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.Therefore,the rich will continue to make sure quality education is not affordable by the poor. 2) Over the years nothing has been done to equalisw the gap between the majority and the minority.Attention is given to the majority when it comes to allocation of fund,so how can those in the minority group finance education properly. 2) Even in the different homes we have in the country,some families still believe that training a girl child is waste.Some children who are suppose to be great people are nowhere today simply because some persons denied them access to education.

EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM. It is apparent that Nigerian Children(youths) will never have equal access to education due to social stratification(strata) that exist in our Country; power, wealth and prestige are not shared equally by men in the society. The people at the upper class will always afford sound, qualitative and quantitative education for their wards/children whereas the lower class people will not hence the middle class will struggle to attain an average education. The system that would have created an avenue for equal access to education in Nigeria is faulty. Base on these facts, I state it categorically that equal access to education in Nigeria remains only a dream.

FROM OGOIGBE RUTH TAIYE G/S DEPERTMANT GROUP A Eksu/LA/s012/0418
The challenge of ensuring equality in education is also a matter of specific concern in the Durban Declaration and the Programme of Action, adopted at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (2001), in which a key role was assigned to the right to education, in particular basic education. States are urged “to ensure equal access to education for all in law and in practice, and to refrain from any legal or any other measures leading to imposed racial segregation in any form in access to schooling.”28 The Programme of Action amply demonstrates the need for revitalizing action for non-discrimination and equality of opportunity in the field of education. It urges States to ensure access to education for all without discrimination, to eliminate barriers to accessing education, to ensure education of good quality, to monitor the educational performance of children from disadvantaged groups, and to devote resources to addressing inequalities in educational outcomes for children.
It is rather unfortunate that even in the 21st century, the female Nigerian child, especially in the Northern part of Nigeria, is denied equal access to education and several of them are exposed to harmful traditional practices like genital mutilation, denial of education, child trafficking etc. Education for the girl child just as any other child is generally considered to be one of the core rights, as the basis for achieving other rights.
Statistical monitoring of education revealed that the national literacy rate for female is only 56% as compared to 72% for male. While in other states the female literacy, enrollment and achievement rates are much more and unreasonably lower to their male counterparts. There are no viable policies that have been for once formulated to accurately gender related issues which consequently widen gender gap.
Governments, stakeholders and other agencies that are responsible in running the educational sector must work harder and put in more effort to prohibit at least some forms of child labor and challenges which is obvious in poverty and economic issues.
With 70% of the population living below the poverty line, girls and boys are often sent to generate income for families by selling wares, food stuffs in the market, or on the streets.
Cultural and religious biases are yet another factor which has indeed contributed to the low level of access to education as many Nigeria parents, especially in large families with limited resources, don't enroll children in school but use them as workers on their farm land.

Equal Access to Education in Nigeria remain A Dream. Equal access is all about the same oppotunity, the same chances to be informed. Being educated in nigeria is naturally without bias at the initial stage. Education had being long with the black race before the Western one. Both sex were pron to good upbringing from inception. Realy, no disperity nor inequality in the bringing up of children. The issue of slavery was the first reason that brought about inequality in education in peculiarity to our dear nation Nigeria. The dark sport of slavery is a lost to the future hope of glory of the black race.Giving female children out to the white was seeing as another opportunity of slavery instead of such to marry and become mothers of children, so female children were seeing as the herritage of tommorow. The amalgamation of Nigeria is 99years old,and Nigeria is 53years old as a nation. It is a pity that in some part of the nation, many are yet to see and value the importance of education most especialy in the Northern part. Though in some other parts too, like in the southern parts poverty still stands as a rock that capsizes education boat for both sex. Even then male children are seen as being rugged to face the rigor of education when sponsorers are fading. This chance makes some male to have the chance ahead their female counterparts. The other strong point of inequality of having access to education is the issue of religion background of the people. Where western education is being reffered to as "haram" it is a risk which only few females could take. The future of Nigeria is bright as many are now seeing reasons for their wards being taught westernly. We have had female Deputy Governors, Commissioners, Senators,Ministers, Pilots, Military personels, Professors etc who are women. I am looking for when Brilliant women will become the president of Nigeria and they will do what Napoleon cannot do. Lot of work still ned to be done in tertiarry institutions where many ladies there do not do serious reading but they rather use what they have to get what they need. This is another sense of unequal access in education in Nigeria. we are all stake holder to Education,, parents, teachers, children, religious institutions,government etc. The hope of a bright nation is certain for all our children only if we do it well.

REQUIRED STRATEGY FOR PROMOTING GENDER EQUITY IN SKILLS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH FORMAL SCHOOLING The fact still remains that schooling is the bedrock of development. Fortifying the formal schools with practical-based learning that gradually builds the life skills needed in technical and science oriented professions should be of concern. It is thus the duty of all and sundry to put hands together and provide enduring opportunity for the Education of All by: 1. reviewing gender-biased administrative practices and polices in education and sexist curricular content; 2. reducing the direct cost of schooling by providing incentives such as bursaries and scholarships to attract girls in areas of need; 3. lowering primary school age enrolment through the introduction of nursery schooling in public schools; 4. reforming gender bias in the recommended text books and provision of gender-balance guidelines to text book publishers; 5. sensitizing teachers, parent, pupils, and students (both sexes) and entire communities including religious leaders, and mass media personnel on gender issues and culturally relevant resources in instructional delivery and value transformation; 6. launching aggressive campaigns to ensure that all children are in schools and prohibiting withdrawal of girls, and giving more motivation on technical and vocational education; 7. collecting gender disaggregated data to enhance gender planning in education; 8. refocusing on government funding of studies in gender and education
The big question is; are we willing to address girl-child skills development issues within and outwith the formal education sector? However, if we desire development, 1 intensified pre-vocationalised secondary education schemes for girls can be provided, motivating them to acquire and develop values to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes in courses related to house keeping, cooking, agriculture, building, painting, interior decoration, clean habits, computer applications, electronics, laundry and clothing care, mechanical repair, financial organization skills, basic nutrition and meal preparation, car maintenance and other skills. 2 For out of school girls, including older girls and those who have dropped out due to pregnancy or other reasons, provide (second-chance,) or other non-formal school opportunity 3 Government should ensure that basic education is not just about the tradition subject of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that a new subject a fourth R of responsible creative tasks, behaviour and risk reduction is added. These include the skills of: physical fitness, self-control, respect, confidence, spiritual development, honesty, positive outlook, responsibility, persistence, communication skill, and entrepreneurship. 4 Community based actions must be involved in spreading and promoting information, education and communication, plans to help spread awareness to protect people from HIV/AID. Such messages might read: a. Education - Increases self esteem b. Education - Increases ability to resist risky behaviour c. Education - Improves relationships between the sexes d. Education - Improves the status of female teachers
To begin with, I would like to remind us of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, resolution 217 (iii), Article 26 of 10th December 1948, which states that: 1. Everyone has the right to education.It states further that "Education shall be free at least in the elementary and fundamental stages" Meaning that "Elementary education shall be compulsory". 2. Education shall be directed to full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedom. .............. 3. Parents have a prior right to chose the kind of education that shall be given to their children. With the social stratification been strengthened by the enormous widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, and alarming level of poverty and quest for survival at all cost, it is certain that we are yet to wake up from our dream for equal access to education in our beloved country, Nigeria. Although according to paragraph 1 of Article 26 as stated above, elementary education is said to be free in Nigeria, not every parent can afford the exigency charges in the so called government schools. The government schools have been abandoned to the down trodden in the society with dilapidated buildings and absence of learning facilities and in most cases unqualified teachers, with Lagos and Anambra states as exceptions In the 70s, there were just a number of private primary schools meant for the children of the few expatriates who remained behind after our independence. What we have today is a massive marginalization in our educational system where we have moved from just the private primary schools through the secondary schools to private tertiary institutions, such as Polytechnics and universities. To my amazement even these private schools have been stratified base on financial capabilities of those who patronize them. This latest development have made paragraph 3 and 4 of the same Article 26, useless and inconsequential as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned. Anu Ezekiel Abayomi. First of Four.

Task: to be Honest, all of the needed resources/Materials are in place, the country is richly blessed with many natural resources that fetches the Nation enough for the implementation of this, but embezzlement and money laundry has become the other of the day which make even the "ready to learn" handicap, thereby frustrating the innocent citizen into all sort of immorality and small scale corruption.
2. Class of People: The class of people with the respective available resources with them are not equall, the poor can rearly fit in to the standard of Education the upper class are exposed to. The upper class are getting richer on daily bases which the poor are getting poorer.
3.Schooling/Educated: Many people pass through School but are not Educated, the necessary Educational Material/Condusive Environment is not available, thereby, many of those that passes through this have only been deprived of education for schooling, for they will be of less or no use to the community. (No Free Education In Nigeria). 3.

I agree totally to this fact. But first what is Equal Access to Education? Equal Access to Education defines a situation where every citizen of a country has the same opportunity to be educated with the same educational facilities and materials provided to enhance learning. The reasons why this remains a dream in Nigeria are as follows 1) Ongoing Tribal Segregation: This explains a situation where some student are not allowed or offered the opportunity to have access to equal education with others as a result of their tribe. 2)The Existence Of Social Classes: The fact that Nigeria is a country where social classes like the upper class, middle class and the lower class exist, there can never be equal access to education. Because in terms of association, the upper class will want to associate with their fellow in the same class with them and will not want to come down in associate with the middle class or the lower class. Invariably, this will affect the educational system because, the upper class due to their position will have more opportunity to good quality education than the middle class as well as the lower class. 3) Unequal School Resources: Because of tribe and class segregation and its relationship to local school revenues, student in high-poverty tribally segregated schools are not exposed to high quality curricula, high qualified teachers or important social networks as often as student in wealthier schools. 4) Lack of Good Scale of Minimum Wage Rate: This explains the situation where people are paid little amount of money for their services at the end of the day, week or month as the case may be. whereas there are people who may not work as much as they do and yet they earn more than them. This is a country where the allowances of some people alone per month are greater than the minimum wage rate of some other worker. therefore, in terms of eduction, they will not have the same opportunity which will be obvious from their earnings. 5) Unemployment and Underemployment: This is a major determinant factor of little or no education. Because if a man does not have any thing doing, he can not afford to send his children to school. And if he has something doing but does not earn sufficient income, he will not be able to send his children to a good quality school. 6) Differential Teacher Quality: This explains that teachers who have higher test scores, attended higher quality colleges and Universities.

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which fulfilled can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. Many of us have heard the phrase, , in fact I suspect that most of us have used the phrase once or twice in our work. Certainly the sentiment is one shared by many or most of us throughout our society and our world and hard one with which to disagree. But, when we used the phrase, we used it as if the concept of education as an equalizing agent is a novel theory. A late 20th early 21st century inventor of course, it is not. Education has been the great equalizer for hundreds of years. The only different today is that the level of education needed to complete and thrive in today’s global economy market place is quite different than that of before. Today, the tables have turned and no longer a high school diploma, alone a ticket to economy success instead, today’s path to an economically vibrant, comfortable, successful life must include a higher education and in particular a four year degree. The good news is that society can with a great deal of unanimity, agreed on this point. The bad news though, is that this same society is failing most low income and many middle income kids, by perpetuating systems and structure that cost high education to be an unattainable dream. Main while, policy makers, higher education institutions and others sit back and watch as the train speedily moves out of view from the station. With the escalating cost of an undergraduate education the shift from need based to merit based financially aid and the continued emphasis on legacy admitting the college access gap between young people from lower and upper income families as never been wider. At the most alarming of rates, bright, talented, hard working kids from low and middle income families are been priced out of high education opportunity. For example, this year 21 of the 36 Boston public high school valedictorians had unmet financial need enough that they were at risk of been left behind by our country high education system. If we use this group of student as proxy for the most academy talented and successful kids in Boston public schools, we paint a very sad picture of affordability and accessibility for bright kid coming from low income families. It is imperative that we examine this issue and remove the barriers that prevent smart motivated student from attaining there high education large economy dream. Every year, access to a higher education get more and more difficult for low and middle income youth. As much time researching and strategizing ways to pay for their dream, in this way they are tremendously disadvantaged in comparison to their wealthier peers. Another factor that weighs heavily on low and middle income student accessing a higher education is the increased emphasis that institutions are placing on merit –based financial aid and the continued importance of legacy-based admissions policies. File both of this factors under the rich get richer category, which, unfortunately is the reality of today high education market place.
NAME: NWAIGBO AMAKA DEPARTMENT: EMT (1 OF 4) COURSE: SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION (EFM 203) QUESTION: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM
Equal access to education is a situation whereby anyone who is willing, able and ready to attend school is availed the opportunity to do so, with the government making adequate planning for enough facilities and infrastructures for all those who actually demand for it. There is no doubt that education holds the key to the growth of every nation. The working, economic and social conditions of every individual have a direct effect from the level of education. Quality education is all that is needed for the advancement of any society. The Nigerian government's efforts to get its citizens properly educated at least in line with the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) target on education by the year 2015 appears not to be producing the much-desired results as recent statistics and development in the country's education sector suggest. It is believed that much work needs to be done to revive the system. Several governments have targeted and promised education for all by certain years as the case may be. In the 80s and 90s, it was said to be by the year 2000 but as time went on, they kept shifting it seeing that their goal is unrealistic. Just as it is for both the housing for all and power sector's target, equal access to education in Nigeria may not be realized, no thanks to the continual fail in the enrollment of children into primary school especially in the North. Barely two years to the attainment of this said objective, research has shown that there are no drastic measures to also turn the fortunes of the deplorable state of the education system in the country. The 2015 target date is a deliberate educational policy of the federal government to make education accessible to all, aimed at providing succor to those who have been excluded from basic education for social, economic or geographical reasons. According to reports, the education for all is still and will remain a mirage following the level of its achievement so far. Moreover, the government has made no provision to adequately accommodate the number of children who are out of school in various states of the federation.

TOPIC: Equal Access to Education in Nigeria Remains a Dream Equality of educational opportunities entails a lot of things. It means giving the same type of educational treatment to everybody without any form of discrimination, regardless of any disability or barriers the individual may have. Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students experience in their education as compared to other students. The measures of educational success focus on grades, test scores, drop-out rates, college entrance numbers, and college completion rates. A variety of research links the inequality to socioeconomic, racial, and geographic reasons. Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and social issues in Nigeria. There have been numerous attempts at reforms and there continues to be more. With different causes that are deeply rooted in history, society, and culture, this inequality is difficult to eradicate.
FACTORS AFFECTING EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN NIGERIA It is obvious that equal opportunities to education in Nigeria are yet to be attained. On the basis of the above, it is necessary to summarise some of the factors affecting equality of educational opportunities in Nigeria. These include:
i. Over emphasis on academically oriented education Too much emphasis is laid on academically oriented education, contrary to the broad and diverse curricula provision in the system of education, which provides for vocational and technical studies. This development limits the chances of those pupils /students whose talents and interests are on the vocational or technical areas; hence, introducing in equality of opportunities in education. ii. Political factor Political factor is a major factor that determines the wheel of education in any country. Education is a capital-intensive social service. The government who disburses it to various sectors of the society controls the public fund. iii. Social inequality in Nigeria There exist in Nigeria the people of the upper, middle and lower classes respectively. These differences in status equally create inequality of educational opportunities among their children.
iv. Historical Factor The problem of inequality in education in Nigeria had been in existence over a period of time. Apart from the early resistance to western education by most Nigerians, especially the Muslims from the North, which created educational imbalance between the Northern and Southern groups of the country, the geographical proximity of certain cultural groups to early settlement of the Europeans and the attitude of the indigenous people towards change adversely influenced the establishment of schools and equal access of the people to education. Besides the above, the initiators of the Western education in the country (the missions) and the colonial masters created inequality in our educational system by given special considerations to Some schools to the neglect of others. The Phelps -Strokes Commission report of 1922 and 1960
Recommendations 1. The recently launched Universal Basic Education should be granted full legislative and legal rights to function. The scheme should not only be tuition free, but books, uniform, adequate class and hostel accommodations as well as teaching should be made adequately available and free too. 2. Necessary remedial measures such as the Migrant Fisherman Children's Education, Nomadic Education, Adult and Non-formal Education programme, etc should be encouraged with utmost sincerity. 3. There should be abroad - based curriculum in all the schools to allow children with diverse aptitudes, abilities and interests to benefits from, etc.

NAME: ADEPOJU TUNMININU RONKE DEPT: YORUBA EDUCATION LEVEL: 1ST OF 4 YEARS COURSE TITLE: SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION COURSE CODE: EFM 203 The fact still remains that schooling is the bedrock of development. Fortifying the formal schools with practical-based learning that gradually builds the life skills needed in technical and science oriented professions should be of concern. It is thus the duty of all and sundry to put hands together and provide enduring opportunity for the Education of All by: 1. reviewing gender-biased administrative practices and polices in education and sexist curricular content; 2. reducing the direct cost of schooling by providing incentives such as bursaries and scholarships to attract girls in areas of need; 3. lowering primary school age enrolment through the introduction of nursery schooling in public schools; 4. reforming gender bias in the recommended text books and provision of gender-balance guidelines to text book publishers; 5. sensitizing teachers, parent, pupils, and students (both sexes) and entire communities including religious leaders, and mass media personnel on gender issues and culturally relevant resources in instructional delivery and value transformation; 6. launching aggressive campaigns to ensure that all children are in schools and prohibiting withdrawal of girls, and giving more motivation on technical and vocational education; 7. collecting gender disaggregated data to enhance gender planning in education; 8. refocusing on government funding of studies in gender and education
The big question is; are we willing to address girl-child skills development issues within and outwith the formal education sector? However, if we desire development, 1 intensified pre-vocationalised secondary education schemes for girls can be provided, motivating them to acquire and develop values to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes in courses related to house keeping, cooking, agriculture, building, painting, interior decoration, clean habits, computer applications, electronics, laundry and clothing care, mechanical repair, financial organization skills, basic nutrition and meal preparation, car maintenance and other skills. 2 For out of school girls, including older girls and those who have dropped out due to pregnancy or other reasons, provide (second-chance,) or other non-formal school opportunity 3 Government should ensure that basic education is not just about the tradition subject of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that a new subject a fourth R of responsible creative tasks, behaviour and risk reduction is added. These include the skills of: physical fitness, self-control, respect, confidence, spiritual development, honesty, positive outlook, responsibility, persistence, communication skill, and entrepreneurship. 4 Community based actions must be involved in spreading and promoting information, education and communication, plans to help spread awareness to protect people from HIV/AID. Such messages might read: a. Education - Increases self esteem b. Education - Increases ability to resist risky behaviour c. Education - Improves relationships between the sexes d.

DARAMOLA TITILAYO GRACE,SOCIAL STUDIES.Equal acces to education in nigeria remains dream because the system does not support all needs for student,whereby the physical,emotion and social aspect of people cannot be looked into.
Adult education department,Olaniyi Hannah.O,1st of 4years it is true that equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream because we are stil striving and struggling to make it a reality. The type of education offered to the rich man's chidren is quite different to the one giving to the poor. Also,the type of school we have now in nigeria needs enough funds so that everybody can go to higher institution but the goverment of nigeria are not helping the issues at all. The goverment of nigeria makes things difficult for people in the area of strikes in some of the Nigerian universities.i.e.Asuu strikes.lastly,until the government of Nigeria value education and make the necessary provisions for teaching and learning to be effective in order to achieve our educational aims,goals and ojectives,equal access to education in Nigeria will remains a dream.

EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION REMAIN A DREAM IN NIGERIA. By Ilori Grace Olubunmi EKSU/LA/SO12/0110 1st of 4
Equal access to education will remain a dream in Nigeria via various reasons because those bulk of those who are policy maker got there not by ability or acknowledgemeny of power of education but by power of political setting and misdemeanour. It is only in Nigeria that men are allowed to be studying mathematics when although he is already an arithmetic casualty.
The problem is until we understand the meaning of problem, the cause u cannot attempt solutions,How do you advertise the beauty of a woman to a blind person? How do you tell a certificated ignorant the importance of education talkless of endorsing free access to education.
Inequality there must be among men but not that which is unjustifiably impossed by societ laws and norms, equal access to education will serve as a means to minimise inequality and ignorance and enthrone development and major liberation from moral conservatism.

Yes The Equal Access to Education in Nigeria will remain a dream. becuase Discrepancies between males and females in access to schooling, school completion rates, and participation in employment opportunities are still more the norm in some regions of the world than others. Limited access to education plagues women in Nigeria as well as in Sub-Saharan Africa. Disparity in access to educational opportunity is a pressing gender equity issue in Nigeria (World Bank, 2003).
Relatively few studies have focused on obtaining the viewpoints of women who experience this phenomenon. To hear the voices of these women regarding how they gained or were denied access to education in the Nigerian context, a cross-section of 24 (12 educated and 12 nonliterate) Nigerian women were recruited for this phenomenological qualitative study. While 12 of them were college professors currently in teaching positions at three different universities, 12 others were nonliterate, self-employed women. Purposefully selected, the participants were representative of the three major ethnic groups and of the geopolitical character of Nigeria. The primary method for collecting data was individual, face-to-face in-depth interviews. Utilizing the phenomenological approach, the interviews focused on "generating useful information about lived experience and its meanings, as well as to understand how, through experience, the phenomenon being studied appears to the consciousness of the participant" (Denzin & Lincoln, 2003).
Significant themes that emerged for the nonliterate participants indicated that lack of information of the value of education on the part of parents, early marriage, and cultural capital on males over females accounted for denial of access to education. For the educated, family background, men's perception of educated women as a threat, and emotional support from significant others were important factors. A cross-sectional theme that emerged revealed that traditional education was still highly regarded today, but incomplete without formal education. Surprisingly, religion was not a barrier to women education.
OLUSOLA OMOTUNDE LYDIA E.M.T DEPARTMENT 1st of 4 Indeed it remain a dream, because of things put in / out of place for instance 1) The social arrangement of our society is a major factor because our society is divided into different level, hirachy, or strata and these arrangement. Is based on the amount of power wealth and prestige possess by an individual or group members of our society therfore only the upper and middle class can afford to send their children to a very good school, according to their capacity, where as the lower class could only afford to send their children to a mushroom school where they have incompetent/SSS 3 drop-out as a teacher or send their childrenn to a public school where they the teachers are fewer than the student in ratio of 3:10 and they go on strike from time to time, and these has it effect on the student education. 2) Secondly individual exposure is also factor to be considered because some parent prefer that their children go and learn trade or become apprentice of one work or another than western education. 3) Thirdly. Cultural belief of some tribe is also a factor to be considered because there are some tribe in Nigeria who do not want western education for their children because of their faith and belief. 4) And lastly some traditional social belief is also a factor that hinder equal access to education in Nigeria because some home, villages and towns frown on female education (despite the fact that they are surrounded by western education and civilisation) here the male child is favoured with education upto the university level where as the female child is not so favoured, she is only - given few or no education - force to learn a trade - or forced into early marriage These few and many more factors hinder the right and access to equal education in Nigeria.

First Education can be define as a process of teaching, training and learning, especially in schools or colleges to improve knowledge and develop skills. just like finding from analysis, some researchers view different factors affecting equal access to education in Nigeria, the problem of poverty, sexual violence, sexual abuse, culture and religion, further review that most cases females are in much disadvantages some culture and religion belief that female education is a waste of money that no matter the levels of education they will surely end up in kitchen for that female don't av equal access to education like a male child have. counterparts in terms of education in Nigeria, girls from a wealthy home stand a little chances than one from poor background, that is because government have not given a due recognition to education in Nigeria,wit these recognition i will advice the government and the wealthy individual be build more schools in federal, state and local community to enable all the Nigerian citizen both able and disable to have easy access to education at subsidized cost, sensitize the school on the special needs of the female child and that government need to make laws that will prohibit early marriage which mostly affect the female folk. finally the issue of discrimination should put to stop and education should be subsidized at affordable cost for both wealthy and poor so that every child will have equal access to education in Nigeria because education is a human right that should be given to all human beings. there are lot of international human right instrument that provide education as a fundamental human right which include the universal declaration of human right (1948) international convention on economic, social and cultural right (1960). the relationship between education and development is well established such that education is a lay index of development. some researchers has also view that schooling improves productivity, health and reduces negatives features of life such as child labour.
MUIBI OLANREWAJU AYODELE DEPT.: N.P.E 2ND OF 5YRS Education in Nigeria remains a dream because education should be a right that every Nigerian child deserves according to late chief Obafemi Awolowo he made education accessible to all in the western part of Nigeria, particularly Lagos. The government of today has declined and denied us the right to education whereby Nigerian institutions has indirectly been privatized, where only the upper strata children gets the best education,from schools abroad. However, the Nigerian Government had discovered that both the middle class and the lower class strata children are now striving to get the best out of education, they had decided to indirectly privatize education by increasing school fees in other for the lower class strata not to have little or no access to education.
AKINLUSI MODUPE E. DEPT.: N.P.E 1st of 4 Access, according to FGN 2003, implies making it possible for everyone who is entitled to education to receive it. Tonwe (2005), Dada (2004) defined access as the right to receive formal education as distinct from informal education, while UNESCO (2003) puts "access in tertiary education as meaning, "ensuring equitable access to tertiary education institutions is based on merit, capacity, efforts and perseverance". Equity in education as put by Ene (2007) implies ensuring that all the segments of the society get their fair share of access to whatever educational opportunities are provided. In summary, access implies opportunity for formal education while equity is fairness in admission. The National Policy on Education provides for equal opportunities for all Nigerian citizens at all levels of education without discrimination.
Access to and Equity in University Education The demand for university education has become very high in recent times. Teeming numbers of youths cannot matriculate. This may be due to population explosion and the after effect of universal primary education of 1976. Nigeria universities should expect more applications in some years ahead when the products of UBE begin to move into higher institutions. The demand for university education has reached an unprecedented high level that Nigeria needs more than double the current number of universities to meet the required need. Government Initiatives in access and equity in Nigerian Universities
Recommendations In view of the above discussions on access to and equity in admission to Nigerian universities, and equally to address the impediments emanating thereof, the following recommendations are made: To enhance access to universities, the issue of quota system or federal character or catchment should be reviewed. Catchment should mean those who live in the area where the university is located. Private universities can still be encouraged but profit-making should be minimized. University education can be seen as service oriented. They can still charge their fees but must not be exploitative. Open Universities and Distant Learning (ODL) should be encouraged. Government should mount campaigns to alert the university candidates of the advantages of ODL and take the opportunity to acquire university education. The existing conventional universities should be well funded so that there will be expansion.
SALIU TEMITOPE DEPT.: N.P.E 1st of 4 EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM Yes I uphold this because of many factors or problems in the educational system today. Some of these factors are; 1]GOVERNMENT POLICY; The government policy that affects the northern states in Nigeria whereby the educational rating is very low, or 2]RELIGION/CULTURE; even the Almajiri system in the north where the young boys are supposed to be groomed and trained has gone awry. these government policies were established with good intentions but those who still support it do not mean well or the northerners.

These factors and many others are enough to contribute to unequal access to education in Nigeria.
Equall acess to Education in Nigeria remains a dream, which in millions of years(if christ tarries) can never come to pass if Nigeria as a country continue to have leaders who are less concern about the welfare of the citizen, truely there are free education in the country, but equall acess to the education is restricted (there is always strike in the education sector almost every year) and even in the absence of strike, the needed teaching aid is not available, uncondusive learning enviroment and time to time strike due to low wages and uncondusive teaching state is the other of the educational period; thereby we have more of school acess and not educational acess.
Equall acess to Education in Nigeria remains a dream, which might never come to reality, this as a result of different classes of people in the community, education in Nigeria is costly but schooling is free; this is made so by the government of the people who are less concern of the educational welfare of the people but rather self centered.

Access to qualitative formal education at all levels has not been equally accessible to all. This is largely due to the economic hardship and the wide variation between the three classes of Nigerians. The government's mediocre efforts towards education has also deepened the decadence in this sector. However, Equal access to education in Nigeria is not unrealistic if government pays more attention to education, provide accessible grants, scholarships and probably subsides the cost of education so as to make it accessible to all.

Yes,qualitative education in Nigeria is not of equal access within the rich and the poor. Although Government provided Public Primary and Secondary Schools but not with seasoned teachers and the infrastructural materials needed for effective teaching and learning process are not provided which makes the poor suffer.Equal access to Education in Tertiary Institution is Zero percent because the payment is too high for the poor to avoid,Only the rich are enjoying qualitative Education in Nigeria.
Adediran Temitayo Blessing Education Social Studies Group A 10th of oct 2013. "EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM"
This statement above is absolutely true due to the following reasons: 1)Social group in terms of wealth: In Nigeria today,we have different group or classes of social group,(1) The first class citizens,(2) The middle class,(3) The lower class which can also be call the poverty level.This difference classes acquire Education for there children according to how rich or big their pocket is.that's is why the rich send their children abroad to study and some make use of the private schools and the less previlege make use of the public and so call low graded private schools. (2) Government involuement in the educational system of the country:Many so called goverment schools are extremely of low standard to the private schools within the conutry and that's is why the ASUU is really figthing hard against this gap which the government are not ready to look into.According to UNESCO,27% of the country budget should be on Education but which is not so in Nigeria even after the promise made by the federal government in 1999, not have been done till date and that's while the ASUU strike is stiLl on because the Universities lecturer are tired of producing half beaked graduates due to lack of infastructure and Educational learning aids compare to internation standard and the private schools. (3) Illitracy is another factor,cause some tribles believe in Educating the male child and not the female ones.this I can link with talk of day in this country on child marriage. If the female are believe to be Educated,no one will be thinking child marriage towards them. The kind of society we have in Nigeria is one in which the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.Therefore,the rich will continue to make sure quality education is not affordable by the poor The few points above make it absolutely clear that equal to Education remain a dream in Nigeria.
OTUBU THERESA OMOWUNMI SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION 1ST OF 4,GROUP A
EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM:
Yes The quest for university education has become very high in recent times. large numbers of youth cannot matriculate, and this is due to the population explosion.
Equal access to education remains a dream as long as there is still a large margin between the rich and the poor.
Equal access to education remains a dream in Nigeria as long as governmental policies concerning education remains unstable.
Equal access to education remains doubtful in Nigeria as long as one sided politics remains in the country. The resultant effect is that some places will be well developed while other places would get worsen and undeveloped.
Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream as long as the country remains in it poor corrupt state, with her corrupt leaders.
Religious and ethical differences can also be a factor.
Equal Access to Education in Nigeria remain A Dream. Equal access simply mean the same oppotunity. Being educated in nigeria is naturally without bias at the onset. Education had being long with the black race before the Western one. Both sex were pron to good upbringing from inception. Realy, no disperity nor inequality in the bringing up of children. The issue of slavery was the first reason that brought about inequality in education in peculiarity to our dear nation Nigeria. The dark sport of slavery is a lost to the future hope of glory of the black race.Giving female children out to the white was seeing as another opportunity of slavery instead of such to marry and become mothers of children, so female children were seeing as the herritage of tommorow. The amalgamation of Nigeria is 99years old,and Nigeria is 53years old as a nation. It is a pity that in some part of the nation, many are yet to see and value the importance of education most especialy in the Northern part. Though in some other parts too, like in the southern parts poverty still stands as a rock that sink education boat for both sex. Even then male children are seen as being rugged to face the rigor of education when sponsorers are fading. This chance makes some male to have the chance ahead their female counterparts. The other strong point of inequality of having access to education is the issue of religion background of the people. Where western education is being reffered to as "haram" it is a risk which only few females could take. The future of Nigeria is bright as many are now seeing reasons for their wards being taught westernly. We have had female Deputy Governors, Commissioners, Senators,Ministers, Pilots, Military personels, Professors etc who are women. I am looking for when Brilliant women will become the president of Nigeria and they will do what Napoleon cannot do. Lot of work still ned to be done in tertiarry institutions where many ladies there do not do serious reading but they rather use what they have to get what they need. This is another sense of unequal access in education in Nigeria. we are all stake holder to Education,, parents, teachers, children, religious institutions,government etc.
ALAO SADIA FOLASHADE E.M.T DEPARTMENT. 1st of 4 Yes it remain a dream because the northern part of Nigeria belief in islamic education therefore they do not embrace western education this brought about education disparity. some cultural belief that female education is a waste they refuse to educate their female child which take them backward.
NAME:Abakpa Martha DEPT:N.P.E CLASS:1st of 4 ASSIGNMENT:Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream Indeed equal access to education in Nigeria will remain a dreram with factors such as poverty,sexual violence,illiteracy,sexual abuse,culture and religion. We will notice that men of affluence take their children to quality schools(conducive classrooms,highly qualified teachers,well equipped laboratories...) compared to the poor ones who would rather take their children to public schools where we would findd dilapidated buildings,unconducive learning environment,unquipped laboratories e.t.c. With this education in Nigeria can never be equal. Findings revealed that girl-child education is poor in the northern parts of Nigeria owing to sexual abuse,religion,culture and as such inhibiting equal access to eduacation in Nigeria. In additon,some Nigerian parents who are culture freak prefer to give their male children the best of education ensuring they get to the apex because they believe males are the pillars of the famil.In contrast,the female children are given a certain level of education with the belief that they will contribute to family growth in the future since they would be given out in marriage.This further makes equal access to education in Nigeria remaining a dream.
The level of illiteracy in the Nigerian society is so high. This is so majorly because a lot of parents cannot afford to send their children to school. While poverty is the order of the day,the cost of education is continually on the rise. Although,there has been various talks about free education,the Government is yet to actualize this. Until when the Government can provide free basic n compulsory education for all Nigerian children,equal access to education in the Nigerian society will remain a dream.
EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM ADEBAYO LEAH O. NURSERY AND PRIMARY EDUCATION 1st OF4 GROUP A Whereas the National policy on Education provides for equal access to Education and the pursuit of an egalitarian society, the political will of the stakeholders leaves much to be desired. The assertion, “equal access to Education in Nigeria remains a dream” cannot be wholly upheld. However, there are facts that can lead to accepting it as partially true. The National budget on education is grossly inadequate and cannot meet the needs of the education industry. Moreover the number of education institutions in the country is grossly inadequate for those needing to enter the institutions at various levels. The inadequacy/lack of skilled and qualified teachers affect access to education in Nigeria Educational development demands that pupils/students move from one level to the other. But where there is dearth of qualified and skilled personnel the pupil/students will not perform to required and acceptable standard, hence entry into the next level will be affected in a way. This fact is playing out in the educational situations between the northern part of Nigeria and the southern part of the country. In the north it is believed that the southern part is more advanced educationally. This has affected admission policies over the years. Again the Educational institutions should be empowered to produce more qualified and skilled manpower. Another factor responsible for unequal access to education is the religious and culture of the people, Nigeria has so many nation states with different religious and diverse cultures. In some parts of the country, western education is considered as a “forbidden” phenomenon – Boko Haram. This principle/doctrine has led to insurgence in some part of the north destabilizing the system, killing and destroying infrastructure in educational institution leading to the loss of Man, Money and Materials. Another destabilizing fact is the issue of Nomads in the north; nomads move from one place to another this making formal education a difficulty. Government has to plan for the education of these nomads with is both money and time consuming. Another fact worth looking at, for the unequal access to education in Nigeria is the socio-economic status of the parents of children. Most parents have low income and cannot help their children even when they gain entry in the higher institutions. The problem of inadequate infrastructure in the schools must be addressed to ensure equal access to education in Nigeria. The spread and location of Education institution in the Country is another problem. There should be even spread and specialization in the school.

Yes because of the situation of the country,If we look at the three classes which is upper,middle and lower,The children of this group of people will have different level of education,Because the lower will not be able to afford the school fees for the upper and middle class.Due to the following reason we can see that equal acess to education in Nigeria will remain a dream.
Adekola funmilayo adeyinka. N.P.E. 2nd of 5years. EKSU/LA/S012/0568. EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM. Many of us have heard the phrase, “Education is the great equalizer”. In fact, I suspect that most of us have used the phrase once or twice in our work. Certainly the sentiment is one shared by many, or most, throughout our society and our world, and a hard one with which to disagree. But, when we use the phrase, we use it as if the concept of education as an equalizing agent is a novel theory, a late 20th early 21st century invention. Of course, it is not. Education has been the great equalizer for hundreds of years. The only difference today is that the level of education needed to compete and thrive in today’s global economic marketplace is quite different than it was in President Kennedy’s time. In his time, a high school diploma translated into a good job, with a good wage and economic security for one’s family.
Today, the tables have turned, and no longer is a high school diploma, alone, a ticket to economic success. Instead, today’s path to an economically vibrant, comfortable, successful life must include a higher education, and in particular a four-year degree. The good news is that society can, with a great deal of unanimity, agree on this point. The bad news, though, is that this same society is failing most low-income, and many middle-income kids, by perpetuating systems and structures that cause higher education to be an unattainable dream. Meanwhile, policy makers, higher education institutions, and others sit back and watch as the train speedily moves out of view from the station.
With the escalating costs of an undergraduate education, the shift from need-based to merit-based financial aid, and the continued emphasis on legacy admittance, the college access gap between young people from low- and upper-income families has never been wider. At the most alarming of rates, bright, talented, hard-working kids from low- and middle-income families are being priced out of higher education opportunities. For example, this year, 21 of the 36 Boston Public High School Valedictorians had unmet financial needs high enough that they were at risk of being left behind by our country’s higher education system. If we use this group of students as a proxy for the most academically talented and successful kids in the Boston Public Schools, we paint a very sad picture of affordability and accessibility for bright kids coming from low-income families. It is imperative that we examine this issue and remove the barriers that prevent smart, motivated students from attaining their higher education lifelong economic dreams.

actually, every citizen of nigerian deserve an equal right to free education in nigeria but because of the selfish interest of our leaders, many nigerians who wish to be educated were not given the opportunity. we need to introduce free education to the nation so that both young and old people will be educated. in that case, since ducation is very important, then we need a good leader who can do it for us because our leadr are not serious with educational aspect of this grea t country.

Equal Access to Education in Nigeria Remains a Dream
Education is a human right that should be given to all human beings. There are lot of international human right instruments that provide for education as a fundamental human right which include the universal declaration of human right (1948), international convention on economic, social and cultural. The relationship between education and development is well established such that education is a lay index of development. Research has also shown that schooling improves productivity, health and reduces negative features of life such as child labour. Education is a basic human right and has been recognized as such since the 1948 adoption of the universal declaration of human rights. Since then, numerous human rights treaties have reaffirmed these rights and have supported entitlement to free compulsory primary education for all children. In Nigeria today social inequalities has been the order of the day. From time immemorial men have dreamt of a society where every one would be equal. According to the NPE one of their policy on education is that we should have an EGALITARIAN SOCIETY. But all human society from simple to complex, ancient to modern have some form of social inequality. In particular power, prestige, wealth are unequally or unevenly distributed between the individual and the social group. Social inequality refers to the existence of socially created inequalities. This justifies the saying that, some are born great, some achieve greatness, while some have greatness invested upon them. Sociologist examines and discusses this social inequality by referring to social stratification. Equal education should given to everyone, because in Nigeria today we have different classes i.e the ESTATE which is the upper class, CASTE which is the middle class and the CLASS, which is the lower level all this is affecting the EDUCATION of Nigeria today. EQUAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERYONE BECAUSE IF THIS IS DONE IT WILL REDUCE THE LEVEL OF POVERTY, AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DUE FOR RETIREMENT SHOULD BE RETIRED FOR OTHERS TO MOUNT UP THE POSITION BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH GOOD 1QUALIFICATIONS OF WORKING AND WORKING EXPERIENCE. EQUAL EDUCATION SHOULD REMAINS THE DREAM.
EMMANUEL ESTHER ABIOYE EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT(EMT) One of the major objectives of a responsible government is the provision of equal access to education.The importance of education as a whole can not be over emphasised as we have seen in other parts of the world how education has transformed the economy.Equal access to education in Nigeria will ever remain a dream as long as there are differences in citizens social status,economic distributions and gender inequalities.The gap between the poor and the rich is so wide that the rich can afford whatever amount to finance their wards to privately owned institutions and the middle or lower class are meant to struggle with the bad state of the educational system.Another reason for this inequality can also be as a result of the bad state of the publicly owned schools which as neccesitated citizens of upper status to to neglect the schools and their wards

ONWUACHU IJEOMA P EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT. 1ST OF 4YRS QUESTION: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION REMAINS A DREAM IN NIGERIA.
Equal access to education means all classes of citizens(rich, average and poor) of a country having the same access to educational facilities and quality education. But this remains a dream in Nigeria because of the following reasons: Low income: low income students have far fewer viable options for higher education than do the Median income students. Disability: many students with disability have mobility limitations. many have inappropriate behaviours which can be allow for in class but which may create difficulties or embarrassment for the student in public. Some students with disability attends school far from where they leave, because those schools offer supports or accessibility but others do.
Cost of Special Transportation: some educational providers say transport to and from pre-school, colleges or university is the biggest problem in providing access to students with disability.
Merit-Based: another factor that weigh heavily on low and middle income students from accessing a higher education is the increased emphasis that institutions are placing on merit-based financial aid and the continued importance of legacy-based admission policies.
Disparity: limited access to education plague women in Nigeria. Disparity in access to educational opportunity is a pressing gender equity issue in Nigeria
NAME: ITA ESSIEN DEPARTMENT: N.P.E. CLASS: 1ST OF 4 COURSE TITLE:SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION COURSE CODE: EFM 203 QUESTION: NO EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION SOLUTION First and fore most, what is education? According to Yoloye (1980) refers a weapon for combating ignorance, poverty and disease as bridge between confusion and comprehensive as a dam for conserving mans stores of civilization and for generating to move to greater civilization and for generating the power to move to greater civilization as a rocket for transporting man (children and adults) from a state of intellectual subservience to a state of sovereignty. For a Nigeria as a nation to progress socially and experience technological development, emphasis must be placed on equal access to education.
The level of illiteracy in the Nigerian society is so high. This is so majorly because a lot of parents cannot afford to send their children to school. While poverty is the order of the day,the cost of education is continually on the rise. Although,there has been various talks about free education,the Government is yet to actualize this. Until when the Government can provide free basic n compulsory education for all Nigerian children,equal access to education in the Nigerian society will remain a dream.

The type of education offered to the rich man's chidren is quite different to the one giving to the poor. Also,the type of school we have now in nigeria needs enough funds so that everybody can go to higher institution but the goverment of nigeria are not helping the issues at all. The goverment of nigeria makes things difficult for people in the area of strikes in some of the Nigerian universities.i.e.Asuu strikes.lastly,until the government of Nigeria value education and make the necessary provisions for teaching and learning to be effective in order to achieve our educational aims,goals and ojectives,equal access to education in Nigeria will remains a dream.
JOLAYEMI MARGARET ADENIKE- CRS 1ST OF 4 GROUP A QUESTION: - EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM
The need to re-examine inequality access to education in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized, to discussion the inherent inequalities in our educational policies and process for candidates to educational level in Nigeria. This is in spite of the fact that Nigerian administrative and legislative norm provides for equal opportunity and access to education among people irrespective of nationalities, residence and sex. Although educational inequalities is a global phenomenon “The provision of equal access to educational opportunities for all citizens of the country at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels both inside and outside the formal system is the objective of the policy” (Moti, 2010) and its philosophy is in consonance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1996) which asserts that “everyone has a right to education”. Other international human rights instruments (such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966); and the African Charter on Human and Peoples‟ Rights (1981) also recognize education as a fundamental human right. Nigeria, definitely is signatory to all of these conventions and recognizes the importance of education to national development. However, inequalities and marginalization of various kinds among different social groups represent one of the biggest problems facing Nigerian society today. A larger portion of the Nigeria population, as a result, lacks access to tertiary education. Literacy level in the country has resultantly deteriorated, especially within the age group of 15 and 24. (NMDG, 2005) This is highly discouraging because certain socio-economic and institutional factors, among others, prevent majority from being educated. “In fact the disparity in access to education in Nigeria takes several forms; from gender disparities in the educational systems to disparities between demand and supply, disparities between urban and rural schools, and between educational institutions owned and controlled by the Federal Government and those owned and controlled by the States and private agencies. The list is endless”. The above issue becomes significant with the recent ubiquitous of terrorism, youth restiveness, hooliganisms and other socio-political vices experienced in Nigerian today. “An idle mind they say is devil’s workshop”; it is „devil in action‟ when such mind is youth’s. As far back as 1959, equal opportunity for access to tertiary education had been articulated by the Ashby Commission as a problem of concern to all. The commission was particular about regional inequality in educational opportunities i.e., the imbalance in educational opportunities between the southern and northern parts of the country. On the other hand, inequality in educational access, involves barriers based on accessibility, affordability or admissibility constraints which prevent individual from enjoying equal opportunity in gaining and obtaining tertiary education. Equality, or equal opportunity, first and foremost, relates to access, and in this case, access to higher education, i.e. whether all students interested in or enrolling in higher education can do so. Equality is primarily restricted by the limited capacities of higher education institutions. In the context of Nigerian, inequality in educational access can be seen as an institutionalized educational prejudice and designed denials arising from imbalance social status and unequal competition for scarce resources. The outgrowth of the socio-economic structure which perpetuates inequalities in access to resources in the society incidentally renders tertiary education as yardstick for determining social class and financial power in the society

Equall Access to Education in Nigeria Remains A Dream; This Dream is fading away because the reality seems not to be unfolding, this is because the Education Sector of the Country fell on the hand of Unconcerned Leader who are only concerend for their pockect and their Family, this has been for decades, and the so called "Leaders of Tomorrow" are willing to go by their steps and have their share of the "National Cake" when opportuned to do so. So in a situation like this, the dream of equall access to education have been buried before death. The Class of people in the country also cannot permit the equall acess to education, for the child of the low class have been indoor for months on Strike, but the child of the upper class continues with their education without any delay or denial.
Omole Precious Tosin Educational Managment 1st of 4th
Prior to independence in 1960, Nigerians had seriously criticized the British colonial regime on issues of relevance, comprehensiveness and focus of the system of education provided to Nigerians. Among several other agitations, Nigerian leaders and educators were particularly worried that the British system of education laid emphasis on academic subjects; educational opportunity was restricted to few people and that the British grammar school system of education was trans-imposed on Nigeria without due consideration to the culture, environment and the aspirations of Nigeria as a country (Nwangwu, 2003). The Philosophy of Nigerian Education The philosophy of Nigerian education is embedded in the National Policy on Education. According to the policy document, the five national goals which Nigeria’s philosophy of education draws its strength are: 1. A free and democratic society; 2. A just and egalitarian society; 3. A united, strong and self-reliant nation; 4. A great and dynamic economy; 5. A land full of bright opportunities for all citizens. (National Policy on Education, Based on the above national aspirations, the philosophy of the Nigerian education seeks to achieve the following: a) The development of the individual into a sound and effective citizen. b) The full integration of the individual into the community; and Free and Democratic Society A free society is a society where the citizens do not suffer restrains or undue interference. They are at liberty to achieve whatever they want to achieve that the least capable person can attain. Just like freedom, democracy implies: 1. That all men possess certain inalienable rights; 2. That all humans are to be regarded equal in certain respects; 3. Faith in human intelligence; 4. Enhancement of individual freedom; 5. Right to peaceful dissent (Omoteso and Aladejana, 2003) Just and Egalitarian Society The attributes of a just and egalitarian society entails that all persons should be considered of equal importance and their opinions treated equally and seriously (Ocho, 1988). Underneath a just and egalitarian society is the principle of justice and fairness; and the principle of fairness to all is also the principle of equity. The goals of a just and egalitarian society can indeed be pursued through education. Here, education can be used to deliberately inculcate in the learner the spirit of fairness and help to recognize individual differences and needs. The Nigerian Philosophy of Education and the Attainment of Equality of Access to Educational Opportunities in Nigeria. Pursuant to the attainment of the broad national goals examined in the earlier, the National policy provides that the philosophy of the Nigerian education shall among others be based on “The provision of equal access to educational opportunities for all citizens of the country at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels both inside and outside the formal school system”. (NPE, 2004; 7).In order to realize equality of access to educational opportunities, the policy framework provides that government shall undertake the following measures: a. Education shall continue to be highly rated in the national development plans; b. Lifelong education shall be the basis of the nation’s educational policy; c. Education and training facilities shall continue to be expanded in response to societal needs and progressively accessible to afford the individual a far more diversified and flexible choice.
Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream because of the following reasons: 1. There can never be equal access to education in Nigeria because of different classes of people in the nation. For instance, we have the people that belong to first class,middle class, and lower class. 2. There is social stratification in the nation. 3. Different religion with different beliefs. 4. Family factor e.g. family with large number of children and the family with few number of children.

The answer is simply no because the concept of inequality itself is very fluid and seems unattainable. Equal education will continue to be a dream because Nigeria is not a society with one-class system (inequality in social status). it follows logically that no child within the society can enjoy equal right to education
NAME: OSE FELICIA E. DEPARTMENT: EDU MGT LEVEL 1ST OF 4
It is possible for children within the society to have equal right to education due to 1. High cost of living 2. Family factor 3. Economic factors 4. Political factors 5. Government policies

Indeed, to a considerable extent, gender has been a subsidiary issue in Nigerian society. The traditional social structures have been offering limited incentives for amending the existing distribution of power between men and women. The Nigerian society (pre-modern and contemporary) has been significantly dotted with peculiar cultural practices that are potently inimical to women’s emancipation, such as early/forced marriage, wife-inheritance and widowhood practices, such unequal social and gender relations needs to be transformed in order to take women out of want and poverty.
As daughters self-identify as females with their mother and sisters, and sons as males with their father and brothers, gender stereotyping becomes institutionalized within the family unit. Also, the dominant narratives of religion in both colonial and post-colonial Nigerian society indeed privileges men at the detriment of women, even in educational accessibility. As such, our society remains entrapped in ‘history of analogy’ whereby it is either exoticised, or simply represented as part of European history. Therefore, acknowledge that whatever socio-cultural norms that deny women equal rights with men will also render women more vulnerable to physical, sexual and mental abuse.
The colonial conception of gender conspicuously marginalized the womenfolk; while it privileged men. Since cultural imperialism viewed Eurocentric religion, ideas and morals as innately superior to those of the natives, the resultant changes brought about by this imperial summation were, of course, noticeable in relations between both sexes in the continent, imperialism visibly enabled the imposition of rigid binaries about everything, including gender perceptions, on our collective consciousness; which the Christian and Muslim religious texts effectively reinforced.
It was asserted that domestic education as enshrined in the ideology of ‘housewification’ which was a social engineering initiative designed to create ‘suitable’
Wives for indigenous colonial employees further disempowered women socially, and economically.
Subsequently, the colonial exclusion of women from most sectors of the formal labour market for domestic works’ engagement which were largely unrewarded has been observed as one of the most formidable factors responsible for women’s marginal significance in contemporary African societies. Indeed, the exclusively male, bureaucratic apparatus did away altogether with pre-colonial system; which clearly permitted women some level of political and economic participation.
Finally,
The economic sector of our society is one area where discrimination against women has been richly pronounced. According to the CEC Report (2007), the role of women in employment and economic activities is often underestimated because most of women work in the informal sectors, usually with low productivity and incomes, poor working conditions, with little or no social protection. It observes that the female labour force in sub-Saharan Africa in 2005 was about 73 million, representing 34% of those employed in the formal sector, earning only 10% of the income, while owning 1% of the assets.
However, the denial of women’s inheritance and land rights has made their economic participation considerably constrained and by implication, their educational aspiration ,such government’s macro-economic policies like liberalization of petroleum sector and removal of subsidies e.g. on fertilizer, have always created distortions, in spite of strides women (rural dwellers) make in self reliance. To this end, it is believed that the contradictions between the latent and manifest functions of public policy have often been the bane of all emancipatory agenda in Nigeria.
This is my own comment on the issue why equal education remains a dream in Nigeria,
Thank you.

Introduction
Access, according to FGN 2003, implies making it possible for everyone who is entitled to education to receive it. Tonwe (2005), Dada (2004) defined access as the right to receive formal education as distinct from informal education, while UNESCO (2003) puts "access in tertiary education as meaning, "ensuring equitable access to tertiary education institutions is based on merit, capacity, efforts and perseverance". Equity in education as put by Ene (2007) implies ensuring that all the segments of the society get their fair share of access to whatever educational opportunities are provided. In summary, access implies opportunity for formal education while equity is fairness in admission. The National Policy on Education provides for equal opportunities for all Nigerian citizens at all levels of education without discrimination.
Access to and Equity in University Education
The demand for university education has become very high in recent times. Teeming numbers of youths cannot matriculate. This may be due to population explosion and the after effect of universal primary education of 1976. Nigeria universities should expect more applications in some years ahead when the products of UBE begin to move into higher institutions. The demand for university education has reached an unprecedented high level that Nigeria needs more than double the current number of universities to meet the required need.
Government Initiatives in access and equity in Nigerian Universities
Recommendations
In view of the above discussions on access to and equity in admission to Nigerian universities, and equally to address the impediments emanating thereof, the following recommendations are made:
To enhance access to universities, the issue of quota system or federal character or catchment should be reviewed. Catchment should mean those who live in the area where the university is located.
Private universities can still be encouraged but profit-making should be minimized. University education can be seen as service oriented. They can still charge their fees but must not be exploitative.
Open Universities and Distant Learning (ODL) should be encouraged. Government should mount campaigns to alert the university candidates of the advantages of ODL and take the opportunity to acquire university education.
The existing conventional universities should be well funded so that there will be expansion.

Whereas the National policy on Education provides for equal access to Education and the pursuit of an egalitarian society, the political will of the stakeholders leaves much to be desired.
The assertion, “equal access to Education in Nigeria remains a dream” cannot be wholly upheld. However, there are facts that can lead to accepting it as partially true. The National budget on education is grossly inadequate and cannot meet the needs of the education industry. Moreover the number of education institutions in the country is grossly inadequate for those needing to enter the institutions at various levels. The inadequacy/lack of skilled and qualified teachers affect access to education in Nigeria Educational development demands that pupils/students move from one level to the other. But where there is dearth of qualified and skilled personnel the pupil/students will not perform to required and acceptable standard, hence entry into the next level will be affected in a way. This fact is playing out in the educational situations between the northern part of Nigeria and the southern part of the country. In the north it is believed that the southern part is more advanced educationally. This has affected admission policies over the years. Again the Educational institutions should be empowered to produce more qualified and skilled manpower.
Another factor responsible for unequal access to education is the religious and culture of the people, Nigeria has so many nation states with different religious and diverse cultures. In some parts of the country, western education is considered as a “forbidden” phenomenon – Boko Haram. This principle/doctrine has led to insurgence in some part of the north destabilizing the system, killing and destroying infrastructure in educational institution leading to the loss of Man, Money and Materials.
Another destabilizing fact is the issue of Nomads in the north; nomads move from one place to another this making formal education a difficulty. Government has to plan for the education of these nomads with is both money and time consuming.
Another fact worth looking at, for the unequal access to education in Nigeria is the socio-economic status of the parents of children. Most parents have low income and cannot help their children even when they gain entry in the higher institutions. The problem of inadequate infrastructure in the schools must be addressed to ensure equal access to education in Nigeria.
The spread and location of Education institution in the Country is another problem. There should be even spread and specialization in the school.

Nigeria is a large country of about 88 million people. perhaps one of the largest country in Africa and indeed in the whole black race. situated in West Africa, it is larger than the whole of the sub-region.
Nigeria boasts of over 250 different ethnic groups found across the length and breath of it. but there are three major ones. Hausa in the north, Ibo in the east and Yoruba in the west and with its academic challenges, hence, equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream.
It shows that there cannot be equal access to education in Nigeria due to:
(a) Any attempt to equalize it is futile (dream) reasons been that differences in ideologies, illiteracy, religious differences, etc.
(b) It is a dream that cannot be executed or materialized as a result of the lack of willingness the part of some government officials, different tribes, economic dilemma etc.

First of all, individual cannot have equal access to education because of social stratification. The upper class group of people send their children/wards to standard private schools and the middle class group of people can only send their children to the private schools that are not expensive while lower class group of people will be able to afford the fees that the middle class group of people can afford.

"EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM"
I totally subscribe to this and i believe it will for ever be a dream due to the following reasons:
1) The kind of society we have in Nigeria is one in which the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.Therefore,the rich will continue to make sure quality education is not affordable by the poor.
2) Over the years nothing has been done to equalisw the gap between the majority and the minority.Attention is given to the majority when it comes to allocation of fund,so how can those in the minority group finance education properly.
2) Even in the different homes we have in the country,some families still believe that training a girl child is waste.Some children who are suppose to be great people are nowhere today simply because some persons denied them access to education.

EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM.
It is apparent that Nigerian Children(youths) will never have equal access to education due to social stratification(strata) that exist in our Country; power, wealth and prestige are not shared equally by men in the society. The people at the upper class will always afford sound, qualitative and quantitative education for their wards/children whereas the lower class people will not hence the middle class will struggle to attain an average education. The system that would have created an avenue for equal access to education in Nigeria is faulty.
Base on these facts, I state it categorically that equal access to education in Nigeria remains only a dream.

The challenge of ensuring equality in education is also a matter of specific concern
in the Durban Declaration and the Programme of Action, adopted at the World Conference
against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (2001), in
which a key role was assigned to the right to education, in particular basic education. States
are urged “to ensure equal access to education for all in law and in practice, and to refrain
from any legal or any other measures leading to imposed racial segregation in any form in
access to schooling.”28 The Programme of Action amply demonstrates the need for
revitalizing action for non-discrimination and equality of opportunity in the field of
education. It urges States to ensure access to education for all without discrimination, to
eliminate barriers to accessing education, to ensure education of good quality, to monitor
the educational performance of children from disadvantaged groups, and to devote
resources to addressing inequalities in educational outcomes for children.
It is rather unfortunate that even in the 21st century, the female Nigerian child, especially in the Northern part of Nigeria, is denied equal access to education and several of them are exposed to harmful traditional practices like genital mutilation, denial of education, child trafficking etc. Education for the girl child just as any other child is generally considered to be one of the core rights, as the basis for achieving other rights.
Statistical monitoring of education revealed that the national literacy rate for female is only 56% as compared to 72% for male. While in other states the female literacy, enrollment and achievement rates are much more and unreasonably lower to their male counterparts.
There are no viable policies that have been for once formulated to accurately gender related issues which consequently widen gender gap.
Governments, stakeholders and other agencies that are responsible in running the educational sector must work harder and put in more effort to prohibit at least some forms of child labor and challenges which is obvious in poverty and economic issues.
With 70% of the population living below the poverty line, girls and boys are often sent to generate income for families by selling wares, food stuffs in the market, or on the streets.
Cultural and religious biases are yet another factor which has indeed contributed to the low level of access to education as many Nigeria parents, especially in large families with limited resources, don't enroll children in school but use them as workers on their farm land.

Equal Access to Education in Nigeria remain A Dream.
Equal access is all about the same oppotunity, the same chances to be informed. Being educated in nigeria is naturally without bias at the initial stage. Education had being long with the black race before the Western one. Both sex were pron to good upbringing from inception. Realy, no disperity nor inequality in the bringing up of children. The issue of slavery was the first reason that brought about inequality in education in peculiarity to our dear nation Nigeria. The dark sport of slavery is a lost to the future hope of glory of the black race.Giving female children out to the white was seeing as another opportunity of slavery instead of such to marry and become mothers of children, so female children were seeing as the herritage of tommorow.
The amalgamation of Nigeria is 99years old,and Nigeria is 53years old as a nation. It is a pity that in some part of the nation, many are yet to see and value the importance of education most especialy in the Northern part. Though in some other parts too, like in the southern parts poverty still stands as a rock that capsizes education boat for both sex. Even then male children are seen as being rugged to face the rigor of education when sponsorers are fading. This chance makes some male to have the chance ahead their female counterparts.
The other strong point of inequality of having access to education is the issue of religion background of the people. Where western education is being reffered to as "haram" it is a risk which only few females could take.
The future of Nigeria is bright as many are now seeing reasons for their wards being taught westernly. We have had female Deputy Governors, Commissioners, Senators,Ministers, Pilots, Military personels, Professors etc who are women. I am looking for when Brilliant women will become the president of Nigeria and they will do what Napoleon cannot do.
Lot of work still ned to be done in tertiarry institutions where many ladies there do not do serious reading but they rather use what they have to get what they need. This is another sense of unequal access in education in Nigeria. we are all stake holder to Education,, parents, teachers, children, religious institutions,government etc.
The hope of a bright nation is certain for all our children only if we do it well.

REQUIRED STRATEGY FOR PROMOTING GENDER EQUITY IN SKILLS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH FORMAL SCHOOLING
The fact still remains that schooling is the bedrock of development. Fortifying the formal schools with practical-based learning that gradually builds the life skills needed in technical and science oriented professions should be of concern. It is thus the duty of all and sundry to put hands together and provide enduring opportunity for the Education of All by:
1. reviewing gender-biased administrative practices and polices in education and sexist curricular content;
2. reducing the direct cost of schooling by providing incentives such as bursaries and scholarships to attract girls in areas of need;
3. lowering primary school age enrolment through the introduction of nursery schooling in public schools;
4. reforming gender bias in the recommended text books and provision of gender-balance guidelines to text book publishers;
5. sensitizing teachers, parent, pupils, and students (both sexes) and entire communities including religious leaders, and mass media personnel on gender issues and culturally relevant resources in instructional delivery and value transformation;
6. launching aggressive campaigns to ensure that all children are in schools and prohibiting withdrawal of girls, and giving more motivation on technical and vocational education;
7. collecting gender disaggregated data to enhance gender planning in education;
8. refocusing on government funding of studies in gender and education
The big question is; are we willing to address girl-child skills development issues within and outwith the formal education sector? However, if we desire development,
1 intensified pre-vocationalised secondary education schemes for girls can be provided, motivating them to acquire and develop values to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes in courses related to house keeping, cooking, agriculture, building, painting, interior decoration, clean habits, computer applications, electronics, laundry and clothing care, mechanical repair, financial organization skills, basic nutrition and meal preparation, car maintenance and other skills.
2 For out of school girls, including older girls and those who have dropped out due to pregnancy or other reasons, provide (second-chance,) or other non-formal school opportunity
3 Government should ensure that basic education is not just about the tradition subject of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that a new subject a fourth R of responsible creative tasks, behaviour and risk reduction is added. These include the skills of: physical fitness, self-control, respect, confidence, spiritual development, honesty, positive outlook, responsibility, persistence, communication skill, and entrepreneurship.
4 Community based actions must be involved in spreading and promoting information, education and communication, plans to help spread awareness to protect people from HIV/AID. Such messages might read:
a. Education - Increases self esteem
b. Education - Increases ability to resist risky behaviour
c. Education - Improves relationships between the sexes
d. Education - Improves the status of female teachers
To begin with, I would like to remind us of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, resolution 217 (iii), Article 26 of 10th December 1948, which states that:
1. Everyone has the right to education.It states further that "Education shall be free at least in the elementary and fundamental stages" Meaning that "Elementary education shall be compulsory".
2. Education shall be directed to full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedom. ..............
3. Parents have a prior right to chose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.
With the social stratification been strengthened by the enormous widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, and alarming level of poverty and quest for survival at all cost, it is certain that we are yet to wake up from our dream for equal access to education in our beloved country, Nigeria.
Although according to paragraph 1 of Article 26 as stated above, elementary education is said to be free in Nigeria, not every parent can afford the exigency charges in the so called government schools. The government schools have been abandoned to the down trodden in the society with dilapidated buildings and absence of learning facilities and in most cases unqualified teachers, with Lagos and Anambra states as exceptions
In the 70s, there were just a number of private primary schools meant for the children of the few expatriates who remained behind after our independence.
What we have today is a massive marginalization in our educational system where we have moved from just the private primary schools through the secondary schools to private tertiary institutions, such as Polytechnics and universities. To my amazement even these private schools have been stratified base on financial capabilities of those who patronize them.
This latest development have made paragraph 3 and 4 of the same Article 26, useless and inconsequential as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned.

Firstly let defind education inequality as the disparity dat certain students experience in their education as compared 2 other students.
In Nigeria research as link inequality of education to :
1. CULTURE ETHNICITY,
2. HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION,
3.POLITICAL FACTOR
4. SOCIO.ECONOMIC RACIAL &
5. GEOGRAPHICAL REASONS.
In Nig. Today, while some states r regarded as educationally advanced states some are seen as educationaly backward. Despite dat education has been identified as d potent instrument that could bridge d gap of inequalities. Children of the lower class still suffer 4rm
inability 2pay school fee even when minimal, lack of school materials, attend public school where teachers go on strike always. E.t.c.
And children 4rm d high class and few of d middle class don't experience these.
Equal simply means the same right to value,size,
or status. Education to some people are nt equal because they don't have
the opportunity to complete their schooling. Some set of people have to
shoulder the expensive of sending themselves to school whereby they can
not compare themselves to those who already have a benefactor. Finally
equal access to education in Nigeria remains as a dream as long as

1. Available Resources to Carry out The. Task: to be Honest, all of the needed resources/Materials are in place, the country is richly blessed with many natural resources that fetches the Nation enough for the implementation of this, but embezzlement and money laundry has become the other of the day which make even the "ready to learn" handicap, thereby frustrating the innocent citizen into all sort of immorality and small scale corruption.
2. Class of People: The class of people with the respective available resources with them are not equall, the poor can rearly fit in to the standard of Education the upper class are exposed to.
The upper class are getting richer on daily bases which the poor are getting poorer.
3.Schooling/Educated: Many people pass through School but are not Educated, the necessary Educational Material/Condusive Environment is not available, thereby, many of those that passes through this have only been deprived of education for schooling, for they will be of less or no use to the community. (No Free Education In Nigeria).
3. Readiness to Learn: The little effort by the curropt leaders is not appreciated by the multitude of the minority that sees it, and thereby; Nigeria Education produced more half baked cake, and the majority of the minority strife to be seen or heard by self determination to be educated.
Equal education in Nigeria has not only being a dream but an Unreal Shadow.

QUESTION: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM
I agree totally to this fact. But first what is Equal Access to Education?
Equal Access to Education defines a situation where every citizen of a country has the same opportunity to be educated with the same educational facilities and materials provided to enhance learning. The reasons why this remains a dream in Nigeria are as follows
1) Ongoing Tribal Segregation: This explains a situation where some student are not allowed or offered the opportunity to have access to equal education with others as a result of their tribe.
2)The Existence Of Social Classes: The fact that Nigeria is a country where social classes like the upper class, middle class and the lower class exist, there can never be equal access to education. Because in terms of association, the upper class will want to associate with their fellow in the same class with them and will not want to come down in associate with the middle class or the lower class. Invariably, this will affect the educational system because, the upper class due to their position will have more opportunity to good quality education than the middle class as well as the lower class.
3) Unequal School Resources: Because of tribe and class segregation and its relationship to local school revenues, student in high-poverty tribally segregated schools are not exposed to high quality curricula, high qualified teachers or important social networks as often as student in wealthier schools.
4) Lack of Good Scale of Minimum Wage Rate: This explains the situation where people are paid little amount of money for their services at the end of the day, week or month as the case may be. whereas there are people who may not work as much as they do and yet they earn more than them. This is a country where the allowances of some people alone per month are greater than the minimum wage rate of some other worker. therefore, in terms of eduction, they will not have the same opportunity which will be obvious from their earnings.
5) Unemployment and Underemployment: This is a major determinant factor of little or no education. Because if a man does not have any thing doing, he can not afford to send his children to school. And if he has something doing but does not earn sufficient income, he will not be able to send his children to a good quality school.
6) Differential Teacher Quality: This explains that teachers who have higher test scores, attended higher quality colleges and Universities.

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which fulfilled can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.
Many of us have heard the phrase, , in fact I suspect that most of us have used the phrase once or twice in our work.
Certainly the sentiment is one shared by many or most of us throughout our society and our world and hard one with which to disagree. But, when we used the phrase, we used it as if the concept of education as an equalizing agent is a novel theory. A late 20th early 21st century inventor of course, it is not. Education has been the great equalizer for hundreds of years. The only different today is that the level of education needed to complete and thrive in today’s global economy market place is quite different than that of before.
Today, the tables have turned and no longer a high school diploma, alone a ticket to economy success instead, today’s path to an economically vibrant, comfortable, successful life must include a higher education and in particular a four year degree. The good news is that society can with a great deal of unanimity, agreed on this point. The bad news though, is that this same society is failing most low income and many middle income kids, by perpetuating systems and structure that cost high education to be an unattainable dream. Main while, policy makers, higher education institutions and others sit back and watch as the train speedily moves out of view from the station.
With the escalating cost of an undergraduate education the shift from need based to merit based financially aid and the continued emphasis on legacy admitting the college access gap between young people from lower and upper income families as never been wider. At the most alarming of rates, bright, talented, hard working kids from low and middle income families are been priced out of high education opportunity. For example, this year 21 of the 36 Boston public high school valedictorians had unmet financial need enough that they were at risk of been left behind by our country high education system. If we use this group of student as proxy for the most academy talented and successful kids in Boston public schools, we paint a very sad picture of affordability and accessibility for bright kid coming from low income families. It is imperative that we examine this issue and remove the barriers that prevent smart motivated student from attaining there high education large economy dream. Every year, access to a higher education get more and more difficult for low and middle income youth.
As much time researching and strategizing ways to pay for their dream, in this way they are tremendously disadvantaged in comparison to their wealthier peers.
Another factor that weighs heavily on low and middle income student accessing a higher education is the increased emphasis that institutions are placing on merit –based financial aid and the continued importance of legacy-based admissions policies. File both of this factors under the rich get richer category, which, unfortunately is the reality of today high education market place.

QUESTION: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM
Equal access to education is a situation whereby anyone who is willing, able and ready to attend school is availed the opportunity to do so, with the government making adequate planning for enough facilities and infrastructures for all those who actually demand for it.
There is no doubt that education holds the key to the growth of every nation. The working, economic and social conditions of every individual have a direct effect from the level of education. Quality education is all that is needed for the advancement of any society. The Nigerian government's efforts to get its citizens properly educated at least in line with the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) target on education by the year 2015 appears not to be producing the much-desired results as recent statistics and development in the country's education sector suggest. It is believed that much work needs to be done to revive the system. Several governments have targeted and promised education for all by certain years as the case may be. In the 80s and 90s, it was said to be by the year 2000 but as time went on, they kept shifting it seeing that their goal is unrealistic.
Just as it is for both the housing for all and power sector's target, equal access to education in Nigeria may not be realized, no thanks to the continual fail in the enrollment of children into primary school especially in the North. Barely two years to the attainment of this said objective, research has shown that there are no drastic measures to also turn the fortunes of the deplorable state of the education system in the country. The 2015 target date is a deliberate educational policy of the federal government to make education accessible to all, aimed at providing succor to those who have been excluded from basic education for social, economic or geographical reasons.
According to reports, the education for all is still and will remain a mirage following the level of its achievement so far. Moreover, the government has made no provision to adequately accommodate the number of children who are out of school in various states of the federation.

Equality of educational opportunities entails a lot of things. It means giving the same type of educational treatment to everybody without any form of discrimination, regardless of any disability or barriers the individual may have.
Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students experience in their education as compared to other students. The measures of educational success focus on grades, test scores, drop-out rates, college entrance numbers, and college completion rates. A variety of research links the inequality to socioeconomic, racial, and geographic reasons.
Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and social issues in Nigeria. There have been numerous attempts at reforms and there continues to be more. With different causes that are deeply rooted in history, society, and culture, this inequality is difficult to eradicate.
FACTORS AFFECTING EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN NIGERIA
It is obvious that equal opportunities to education in Nigeria are yet to be attained. On the basis of the above, it is necessary to summarise some of the factors affecting equality of educational opportunities in Nigeria. These include:
i. Over emphasis on academically oriented education
Too much emphasis is laid on academically oriented education, contrary to the broad and diverse curricula provision in the system of education, which provides for vocational and technical studies. This development limits the chances of those pupils /students whose talents and interests are on the vocational or technical areas; hence, introducing in equality of opportunities in education.
ii. Political factor
Political factor is a major factor that determines the wheel of education in any country. Education is a capital-intensive social service. The government who disburses it to various sectors of the society controls the public fund.
iii. Social inequality in Nigeria
There exist in Nigeria the people of the upper, middle and lower classes respectively. These differences in status equally create inequality of educational opportunities among their children.
iv. Historical Factor
The problem of inequality in education in Nigeria had been in existence over a period of time. Apart from the early resistance to western education by most Nigerians, especially the Muslims from the North, which created educational imbalance between the Northern and Southern groups of the country, the geographical proximity of certain cultural groups to early settlement of the Europeans and the attitude of the indigenous people towards change adversely influenced the establishment of schools and equal access of the people to education.
Besides the above, the initiators of the Western education in the country (the missions) and the colonial masters created inequality in our educational system by given special considerations to Some schools to the neglect of others. The Phelps -Strokes Commission report of 1922 and 1960
Recommendations
1. The recently launched Universal Basic Education should be granted full legislative and legal rights to function. The scheme should not only be tuition free, but books, uniform, adequate class and hostel accommodations as well as teaching should be made adequately available and free too.
2. Necessary remedial measures such as the Migrant Fisherman Children's Education, Nomadic Education, Adult and Non-formal Education programme, etc should be encouraged with utmost sincerity.
3. There should be abroad - based curriculum in all the schools to allow children with diverse aptitudes, abilities and interests to benefits from, etc.

Apart from the early resistance to western education by most Nigerians, especially the Muslims from the North, which created educational imbalance between the Northern and Southern groups of the country, the geographical proximity of certain cultural groups to early settlement of the Europeans and the attitude of the indigenous people towards change adversely influenced the establishment of schools and equal access of the people to education.
Besides the above, the initiators of the Western education in the country (the missions) and the colonial masters created inequality in our educational system by given special considerations to Some schools to the neglect of others. The Phelps -Strokes Commission report of 1922 and 1960
Recommendations
1. The recently launched Universal Basic Education should be granted full legislative and legal rights to function. The scheme should not only be tuition free, but books, uniform, adequate class and hostel accommodations as well as teaching should be made adequately available and free too.
2. Necessary remedial measures such as the Migrant Fisherman Children's Education, Nomadic Education, Adult and Non-formal Education programme, etc should be encouraged with utmost sincerity.
3. There should be abroad - based curriculum in all the schools to allow children with diverse aptitudes, abilities and interests to benefits from, etc.

The fact still remains that schooling is the bedrock of development. Fortifying the formal schools with practical-based learning that gradually builds the life skills needed in technical and science oriented professions should be of concern. It is thus the duty of all and sundry to put hands together and provide enduring opportunity for the Education of All by:
1. reviewing gender-biased administrative practices and polices in education and sexist curricular content;
2. reducing the direct cost of schooling by providing incentives such as bursaries and scholarships to attract girls in areas of need;
3. lowering primary school age enrolment through the introduction of nursery schooling in public schools;
4. reforming gender bias in the recommended text books and provision of gender-balance guidelines to text book publishers;
5. sensitizing teachers, parent, pupils, and students (both sexes) and entire communities including religious leaders, and mass media personnel on gender issues and culturally relevant resources in instructional delivery and value transformation;
6. launching aggressive campaigns to ensure that all children are in schools and prohibiting withdrawal of girls, and giving more motivation on technical and vocational education;
7. collecting gender disaggregated data to enhance gender planning in education;
8. refocusing on government funding of studies in gender and education
The big question is; are we willing to address girl-child skills development issues within and outwith the formal education sector? However, if we desire development,
1 intensified pre-vocationalised secondary education schemes for girls can be provided, motivating them to acquire and develop values to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes in courses related to house keeping, cooking, agriculture, building, painting, interior decoration, clean habits, computer applications, electronics, laundry and clothing care, mechanical repair, financial organization skills, basic nutrition and meal preparation, car maintenance and other skills.
2 For out of school girls, including older girls and those who have dropped out due to pregnancy or other reasons, provide (second-chance,) or other non-formal school opportunity
3 Government should ensure that basic education is not just about the tradition subject of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that a new subject a fourth R of responsible creative tasks, behaviour and risk reduction is added. These include the skills of: physical fitness, self-control, respect, confidence, spiritual development, honesty, positive outlook, responsibility, persistence, communication skill, and entrepreneurship.
4 Community based actions must be involved in spreading and promoting information, education and communication, plans to help spread awareness to protect people from HIV/AID. Such messages might read:
a. Education - Increases self esteem
b. Education - Increases ability to resist risky behaviour
c. Education - Improves relationships between the sexes
d. Education - Improves the status of female teachers

it is true that equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream because we are stil striving and struggling to make it a reality.
The type of education offered to the rich man's chidren is quite different to the one giving to the poor. Also,the type of school we have now in nigeria needs enough funds so that everybody can go to higher institution but the goverment of nigeria are not helping the issues at all. The goverment of nigeria makes things difficult for people in the area of strikes in some of the Nigerian universities.i.e.Asuu strikes.lastly,until the government of Nigeria value education and make the necessary provisions for teaching and learning to be effective in order to achieve our educational aims,goals and ojectives,equal access to education in Nigeria will remains a dream.

Equal access to education will remain a dream in Nigeria via various reasons because those bulk of those who are policy maker got there not by ability or acknowledgemeny of power of education but by power of political setting and misdemeanour. It is only in Nigeria that men are allowed to be studying mathematics when although he is already an arithmetic casualty.
The problem is until we understand the meaning of problem, the cause u cannot attempt solutions,How do you advertise the beauty of a woman to a blind person? How do you tell a certificated ignorant the importance of education talkless of endorsing free access to education.
Inequality there must be among men but not that which is unjustifiably impossed by societ laws and norms, equal access to education will serve as a means to minimise inequality and ignorance and enthrone development and major liberation from moral conservatism.

TOPIC: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA, REMAINS A DREAM.
Yes The Equal Access to Education in Nigeria will remain a dream. becuase Discrepancies between males and females in access to schooling, school completion rates, and participation in employment opportunities are still more the norm in some regions of the world than others. Limited access to education plagues women in Nigeria as well as in Sub-Saharan Africa. Disparity in access to educational opportunity is a pressing gender equity issue in Nigeria (World Bank, 2003).
Relatively few studies have focused on obtaining the viewpoints of women who experience this phenomenon. To hear the voices of these women regarding how they gained or were denied access to education in the Nigerian context, a cross-section of 24 (12 educated and 12 nonliterate) Nigerian women were recruited for this phenomenological qualitative study. While 12 of them were college professors currently in teaching positions at three different universities, 12 others were nonliterate, self-employed women. Purposefully selected, the participants were representative of the three major ethnic groups and of the geopolitical character of Nigeria.
The primary method for collecting data was individual, face-to-face in-depth interviews. Utilizing the phenomenological approach, the interviews focused on "generating useful information about lived experience and its meanings, as well as to understand how, through experience, the phenomenon being studied appears to the consciousness of the participant" (Denzin & Lincoln, 2003).
Significant themes that emerged for the nonliterate participants indicated that lack of information of the value of education on the part of parents, early marriage, and cultural capital on males over females accounted for denial of access to education. For the educated, family background, men's perception of educated women as a threat, and emotional support from significant others were important factors. A cross-sectional theme that emerged revealed that traditional education was still highly regarded today, but incomplete without formal education. Surprisingly, religion was not a barrier to women education.

Indeed it remain a dream, because of things put in / out of place for instance
1) The social arrangement of our society is a major factor because our society is divided into different level, hirachy, or strata and these arrangement. Is based on the amount of power wealth and prestige possess by an individual or group members of our society therfore only the upper and middle class can afford to send their children to a very good school, according to their capacity, where as the lower class could only afford to send their children to a mushroom school where they have incompetent/SSS 3 drop-out as a teacher or send their childrenn to a public school where they the teachers are fewer than the student in ratio of 3:10 and they go on strike from time to time, and these has it effect on the student education.
2) Secondly individual exposure is also factor to be considered because some parent prefer that their children go and learn trade or become apprentice of one work or another than western education.
3) Thirdly. Cultural belief of some tribe is also a factor to be considered because there are some tribe in Nigeria who do not want western education for their children because of their faith and belief.
4) And lastly some traditional social belief is also a factor that hinder equal access to education in Nigeria because some home, villages and towns frown on female education (despite the fact that they are surrounded by western education and civilisation) here the male child is favoured with education upto the university level where as the female child is not so favoured, she is only
- given few or no education
- force to learn a trade
- or forced into early marriage
These few and many more factors hinder the right and access to equal education in Nigeria.

First Education can be define as a process of teaching, training and learning, especially in schools or colleges to improve knowledge and develop skills. just like finding from analysis, some researchers view different factors affecting equal access to education in Nigeria, the problem of poverty, sexual violence, sexual abuse, culture and religion, further review that most cases females are in much disadvantages some culture and religion belief that female education is a waste of money that no matter the levels of education they will surely end up in kitchen for that female don't av equal access to education like a male child have.
counterparts in terms of education in Nigeria, girls from a wealthy home stand a little chances than one from poor background, that is because government have not given a due recognition to education in Nigeria,wit these recognition i will advice the government and the wealthy individual be build more schools in federal, state and local community to enable all the Nigerian citizen both able and disable to have easy access to education at subsidized cost, sensitize the school on the special needs of the female child and that government need to make laws that will prohibit early marriage which mostly affect the female folk.
finally the issue of discrimination should put to stop and education should be subsidized at affordable cost for both wealthy and poor so that every child will have equal access to education in Nigeria because education is a human right that should be given to all human beings.
there are lot of international human right instrument that provide education as a fundamental human right which include the universal declaration of human right (1948) international convention on economic, social and cultural right (1960).
the relationship between education and development is well established such that education is a lay index of development. some researchers has also view that schooling improves productivity, health and reduces negatives features of life such as child labour.

Education in Nigeria remains a dream because education should be a right that every Nigerian child deserves according to late chief Obafemi Awolowo he made education accessible to all in the western part of Nigeria, particularly Lagos. The government of today has declined and denied us the right to education whereby Nigerian institutions has indirectly been privatized, where only the upper strata children gets the best education,from schools abroad. However, the Nigerian Government had discovered that both the middle class and the lower class strata children are now striving to get the best out of education, they had decided to indirectly privatize education by increasing school fees in other for the lower class strata not to have little or no access to education.

Access, according to FGN 2003, implies making it possible for everyone who is entitled to education to receive it. Tonwe (2005), Dada (2004) defined access as the right to receive formal education as distinct from informal education, while UNESCO (2003) puts "access in tertiary education as meaning, "ensuring equitable access to tertiary education institutions is based on merit, capacity, efforts and perseverance". Equity in education as put by Ene (2007) implies ensuring that all the segments of the society get their fair share of access to whatever educational opportunities are provided. In summary, access implies opportunity for formal education while equity is fairness in admission. The National Policy on Education provides for equal opportunities for all Nigerian citizens at all levels of education without discrimination.
Access to and Equity in University Education
The demand for university education has become very high in recent times. Teeming numbers of youths cannot matriculate. This may be due to population explosion and the after effect of universal primary education of 1976. Nigeria universities should expect more applications in some years ahead when the products of UBE begin to move into higher institutions. The demand for university education has reached an unprecedented high level that Nigeria needs more than double the current number of universities to meet the required need.
Government Initiatives in access and equity in Nigerian Universities
Recommendations
In view of the above discussions on access to and equity in admission to Nigerian universities, and equally to address the impediments emanating thereof, the following recommendations are made:
To enhance access to universities, the issue of quota system or federal character or catchment should be reviewed. Catchment should mean those who live in the area where the university is located.
Private universities can still be encouraged but profit-making should be minimized. University education can be seen as service oriented. They can still charge their fees but must not be exploitative.
Open Universities and Distant Learning (ODL) should be encouraged. Government should mount campaigns to alert the university candidates of the advantages of ODL and take the opportunity to acquire university education.
The existing conventional universities should be well funded so that there will be expansion.

Equall acess to Education in Nigeria remains a dream, which in millions of years(if christ tarries) can never come to pass if Nigeria as a country continue to have leaders who are less concern about the welfare of the citizen, truely there are free education in the country, but equall acess to the education is restricted (there is always strike in the education sector almost every year) and even in the absence of strike, the needed teaching aid is not available, uncondusive learning enviroment and time to time strike due to low wages and uncondusive teaching state is the other of the educational period; thereby we have more of school acess and not educational acess.

Equall acess to Education in Nigeria remains a dream, which might never come to reality, this as a result of different classes of people in the community, education in Nigeria is costly but schooling is free; this is made so by the government of the people who are less concern of the educational welfare of the people but rather self centered.

Although UBE gave free access to education but NIgerians made it impossible due to some factors like Economic,culture,religion socia stratification etc. There shall continue to be unequal education due to power,wealth and prestige are not shared equally in the socity.
Access to qualitative formal education at all levels has not been equally accessible to all. This is largely due to the economic hardship and the wide variation between the three classes of Nigerians. The government's mediocre efforts towards education has also deepened the decadence in this sector. However, Equal access to education in Nigeria is not unrealistic if government pays more attention to education, provide accessible grants, scholarships and probably subsides the cost of education so as to make it accessible to all.

Yes,qualitative education in Nigeria is not of equal access within the rich and the poor.
Although Government provided
Public Primary and Secondary Schools but not with seasoned teachers and the infrastructural materials needed for effective teaching and learning process are not provided which makes the poor suffer.Equal access to Education in Tertiary Institution is Zero percent because the payment is too high for the poor to avoid,Only the rich are enjoying qualitative Education in Nigeria.

"EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAIN A DREAM"
This statement above is absolutely true due to the following reasons:
1)Social group in terms of wealth: In Nigeria today,we have different group or classes of social group,(1) The first class citizens,(2) The middle class,(3) The lower class which can also be call the poverty level.This difference classes acquire Education for there children according to how rich or big their pocket is.that's is why the rich send their children abroad to study and some make use of the private schools and the less previlege make use of the public and so call low graded private schools.
(2) Government involuement in the educational system of the country:Many so called goverment schools are extremely of low standard to the private schools within the conutry and that's is why the ASUU is really figthing hard against this gap which the government are not ready to look into.According to UNESCO,27% of the country budget should be on Education but which is not so in Nigeria even after the promise made by the federal government in 1999, not have been done till date and that's while the ASUU strike is stiLl on because the Universities lecturer are tired of producing half beaked graduates due to lack of infastructure and Educational learning aids compare to internation standard and the private schools.
(3) Illitracy is another factor,cause some tribles believe in Educating the male child and not the female ones.this I can link with talk of day in this country on child marriage. If the female are believe to be Educated,no one will be thinking child marriage towards them. The kind of society we have in Nigeria is one in which the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.Therefore,the rich will continue to make sure quality education is not affordable by the poor
The few points above make it absolutely clear that equal to Education remain a dream in Nigeria.

EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM:
Yes
The quest for university education has become very high in recent times. large numbers of youth cannot matriculate, and this is due to the population explosion.
Equal access to education remains a dream as long as there is still a large margin between the rich and the poor.
Equal access to education remains a dream in Nigeria as long as governmental policies concerning education remains unstable.
Equal access to education remains doubtful in Nigeria as long as one sided politics remains in the country. The resultant effect is that some places will be well developed while other places would get worsen and undeveloped.
Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream as long as the country remains in it poor corrupt state, with her corrupt leaders.
Religious and ethical differences can also be a factor.

Equal Access to Education in Nigeria remain A Dream.
Equal access simply mean the same oppotunity. Being educated in nigeria is naturally without bias at the onset. Education had being long with the black race before the Western one. Both sex were pron to good upbringing from inception. Realy, no disperity nor inequality in the bringing up of children. The issue of slavery was the first reason that brought about inequality in education in peculiarity to our dear nation Nigeria. The dark sport of slavery is a lost to the future hope of glory of the black race.Giving female children out to the white was seeing as another opportunity of slavery instead of such to marry and become mothers of children, so female children were seeing as the herritage of tommorow.
The amalgamation of Nigeria is 99years old,and Nigeria is 53years old as a nation. It is a pity that in some part of the nation, many are yet to see and value the importance of education most especialy in the Northern part. Though in some other parts too, like in the southern parts poverty still stands as a rock that sink education boat for both sex. Even then male children are seen as being rugged to face the rigor of education when sponsorers are fading. This chance makes some male to have the chance ahead their female counterparts.
The other strong point of inequality of having access to education is the issue of religion background of the people. Where western education is being reffered to as "haram" it is a risk which only few females could take.
The future of Nigeria is bright as many are now seeing reasons for their wards being taught westernly. We have had female Deputy Governors, Commissioners, Senators,Ministers, Pilots, Military personels, Professors etc who are women. I am looking for when Brilliant women will become the president of Nigeria and they will do what Napoleon cannot do.
Lot of work still ned to be done in tertiarry institutions where many ladies there do not do serious reading but they rather use what they have to get what they need. This is another sense of unequal access in education in Nigeria. we are all stake holder to Education,, parents, teachers, children, religious institutions,government etc.

Yes it remain a dream because the northern part of Nigeria belief in islamic education therefore they do not embrace western education this brought about education disparity.
some cultural belief that female education is a waste they refuse to educate their female child which take them backward.
NAME:Abakpa Martha DEPT:N.P.E CLASS:1st of 4 ASSIGNMENT:Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream Indeed equal access to education in Nigeria will remain a dreram with factors such as poverty,sexual violence,illiteracy,sexual abuse,culture and religion. We will notice that men of affluence take their children to quality schools(conducive classrooms,highly qualified teachers,well equipped laboratories...) compared to the poor ones who would rather take their children to public schools where we would findd dilapidated buildings,unconducive learning environment,unquipped laboratories e.t.c. With this education in Nigeria can never be equal. Findings revealed that girl-child education is poor in the northern parts of Nigeria owing to sexual abuse,religion,culture and as such inhibiting equal access to eduacation in Nigeria. In additon,some Nigerian parents who are culture freak prefer to give their male children the best of education ensuring they get to the apex because they believe males are the pillars of the famil.In contrast,the female children are given a certain level of education with the belief that they will contribute to family growth in the future since they would be given out in marriage.This further makes equal access to education in Nigeria remaining a dream.
The level of illiteracy in the Nigerian society is so high. This is so majorly because a lot of parents cannot afford to send their children to school. While poverty is the order of the day,the cost of education is continually on the rise. Although,there has been various talks about free education,the Government is yet to actualize this. Until when the Government can provide free basic n compulsory education for all Nigerian children,equal access to education in the Nigerian society will remain a dream.

Whereas the National policy on Education provides for equal access to Education and the pursuit of an egalitarian society, the political will of the stakeholders leaves much to be desired.
The assertion, “equal access to Education in Nigeria remains a dream” cannot be wholly upheld. However, there are facts that can lead to accepting it as partially true. The National budget on education is grossly inadequate and cannot meet the needs of the education industry. Moreover the number of education institutions in the country is grossly inadequate for those needing to enter the institutions at various levels. The inadequacy/lack of skilled and qualified teachers affect access to education in Nigeria Educational development demands that pupils/students move from one level to the other. But where there is dearth of qualified and skilled personnel the pupil/students will not perform to required and acceptable standard, hence entry into the next level will be affected in a way. This fact is playing out in the educational situations between the northern part of Nigeria and the southern part of the country. In the north it is believed that the southern part is more advanced educationally. This has affected admission policies over the years. Again the Educational institutions should be empowered to produce more qualified and skilled manpower.
Another factor responsible for unequal access to education is the religious and culture of the people, Nigeria has so many nation states with different religious and diverse cultures. In some parts of the country, western education is considered as a “forbidden” phenomenon – Boko Haram. This principle/doctrine has led to insurgence in some part of the north destabilizing the system, killing and destroying infrastructure in educational institution leading to the loss of Man, Money and Materials.
Another destabilizing fact is the issue of Nomads in the north; nomads move from one place to another this making formal education a difficulty. Government has to plan for the education of these nomads with is both money and time consuming.
Another fact worth looking at, for the unequal access to education in Nigeria is the socio-economic status of the parents of children. Most parents have low income and cannot help their children even when they gain entry in the higher institutions. The problem of inadequate infrastructure in the schools must be addressed to ensure equal access to education in Nigeria.
The spread and location of Education institution in the Country is another problem. There should be even spread and specialization in the school.

Yes, Why there has been a lot of emphasis particularly in recent times for all citizens to have access to basic education. It has however been established by researchers that improving female education is crucial for national development. In 1990 for example, the educatn for all (EFA) Communicatn was launched to ensure that by 2015, all childred particulary girls, those in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities have access to and complete free and compulsory proimary education of good quality.

Yes because of the situation of the country,If we look at the three classes which is upper,middle and lower,The children of this group of people will have different level of education,Because the lower will not be able to afford the school fees for the upper and middle class.Due to the following reason we can see that equal acess to education in Nigeria will remain a dream.
Adekola funmilayo adeyinka. N.P.E. 2nd of 5years. EKSU/LA/S012/0568. EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM. Many of us have heard the phrase, “Education is the great equalizer”. In fact, I suspect that most of us have used the phrase once or twice in our work. Certainly the sentiment is one shared by many, or most, throughout our society and our world, and a hard one with which to disagree. But, when we use the phrase, we use it as if the concept of education as an equalizing agent is a novel theory, a late 20th early 21st century invention. Of course, it is not. Education has been the great equalizer for hundreds of years. The only difference today is that the level of education needed to compete and thrive in today’s global economic marketplace is quite different than it was in President Kennedy’s time. In his time, a high school diploma translated into a good job, with a good wage and economic security for one’s family.
Today, the tables have turned, and no longer is a high school diploma, alone, a ticket to economic success. Instead, today’s path to an economically vibrant, comfortable, successful life must include a higher education, and in particular a four-year degree. The good news is that society can, with a great deal of unanimity, agree on this point. The bad news, though, is that this same society is failing most low-income, and many middle-income kids, by perpetuating systems and structures that cause higher education to be an unattainable dream. Meanwhile, policy makers, higher education institutions, and others sit back and watch as the train speedily moves out of view from the station.
With the escalating costs of an undergraduate education, the shift from need-based to merit-based financial aid, and the continued emphasis on legacy admittance, the college access gap between young people from low- and upper-income families has never been wider. At the most alarming of rates, bright, talented, hard-working kids from low- and middle-income families are being priced out of higher education opportunities. For example, this year, 21 of the 36 Boston Public High School Valedictorians had unmet financial needs high enough that they were at risk of being left behind by our country’s higher education system. If we use this group of students as a proxy for the most academically talented and successful kids in the Boston Public Schools, we paint a very sad picture of affordability and accessibility for bright kids coming from low-income families. It is imperative that we examine this issue and remove the barriers that prevent smart, motivated students from attaining their higher education lifelong economic dreams.

Equal Access to Education in Nigeria Remains a Dream
Education is a human right that should be given to all human beings.
There are lot of international human right instruments that provide for education as a fundamental human right which include the universal declaration of human right (1948), international convention on economic, social and cultural. The relationship between education and development is well established such that education is a lay index of development. Research has also shown that schooling improves productivity, health and reduces negative features of life such as child labour.
Education is a basic human right and has been recognized as such since the 1948 adoption of the universal declaration of human rights. Since then, numerous human rights treaties have reaffirmed these rights and have supported entitlement to free compulsory primary education for all children.
In Nigeria today social inequalities has been the order of the day.
From time immemorial men have dreamt of a society where every one would be equal. According to the NPE one of their policy on education is that we should have an EGALITARIAN SOCIETY. But all human society from simple to complex, ancient to modern have some form of social inequality. In particular power, prestige, wealth are unequally or unevenly distributed between the individual and the social group. Social inequality refers to the existence of socially created inequalities.
This justifies the saying that, some are born great, some achieve greatness, while some have greatness invested upon them. Sociologist examines and discusses this social inequality by referring to social stratification.
Equal education should given to everyone, because in Nigeria today we have different classes i.e the ESTATE which is the upper class, CASTE which is the middle class and the CLASS, which is the lower level all this is affecting the EDUCATION of Nigeria today.
EQUAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERYONE BECAUSE IF THIS IS DONE IT WILL REDUCE THE LEVEL OF POVERTY, AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DUE FOR RETIREMENT SHOULD BE RETIRED FOR OTHERS TO MOUNT UP THE POSITION BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH GOOD 1QUALIFICATIONS OF WORKING AND WORKING EXPERIENCE. EQUAL EDUCATION SHOULD REMAINS THE DREAM.

QUESTION: EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION REMAINS A DREAM IN NIGERIA.
Equal access to education means all classes of citizens(rich, average and poor) of a country having the same access to educational facilities and quality education.
But this remains a dream in Nigeria because of the following reasons:
Low income: low income students have far fewer viable options for higher education than do the Median income students.
Disability: many students with disability have mobility limitations. many have inappropriate behaviours which can be allow for in class but which may create difficulties or embarrassment for the student in public. Some students with disability attends school far from where they leave, because those schools offer supports or accessibility but others do.
Cost of Special Transportation: some educational providers say transport to and from pre-school, colleges or university is the biggest problem in providing access to students with disability.
Merit-Based: another factor that weigh heavily on low and middle income students from accessing a higher education is the increased emphasis that institutions are placing on merit-based financial aid and the continued importance of legacy-based admission policies.
Disparity: limited access to education plague women in Nigeria. Disparity in access to educational opportunity is a pressing gender equity issue in Nigeria

First and fore most, what is education? According to Yoloye (1980) refers a weapon for combating ignorance, poverty and disease as bridge between confusion and comprehensive as a dam for conserving mans stores of civilization and for generating to move to greater civilization and for generating the power to move to greater civilization as a rocket for transporting man (children and adults) from a state of intellectual subservience to a state of sovereignty.
For a Nigeria as a nation to progress socially and experience technological development, emphasis must be placed on equal access to education.
The level of illiteracy in the Nigerian society is so high. This is so majorly because a lot of parents cannot afford to send their children to school. While poverty is the order of the day,the cost of education is continually on the rise. Although,there has been various talks about free education,the Government is yet to actualize this. Until when the Government can provide free basic n compulsory education for all Nigerian children,equal access to education in the Nigerian society will remain a dream.

it is true that equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream because we are
still striving and struggling to make it a
reality.
The type of education offered to the rich
man's chidren is quite different to the one
giving to the poor. Also,the type of school
we have now in nigeria needs enough funds so that everybody can go to higher
institution but the goverment of nigeria are not helping the issues at all. The
goverment of nigeria makes things difficult
for people in the area of strikes in some of the Nigerian universities.i.e.Asuu
strikes.lastly,until the government of
Nigeria value education and make the
necessary provisions for teaching and
learning to be effective in order to achieve
our educational aims,goals and
ojectives,equal access to education in
Nigeria will remains a dream.

QUESTION: - EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN NIGERIA REMAINS A DREAM
The need to re-examine inequality access to education in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized, to discussion the inherent inequalities in our educational policies and process for candidates to educational level in Nigeria. This is in spite of the fact that Nigerian administrative and legislative norm provides for equal opportunity and access to education among people irrespective of nationalities, residence and sex. Although educational inequalities is a global phenomenon “The provision of equal access to educational opportunities for all citizens of the country at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels both inside and outside the formal system is the objective of the policy” (Moti, 2010) and its philosophy is in consonance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1996) which asserts that “everyone has a right to education”. Other international human rights instruments (such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966); and the African Charter on Human and Peoples‟ Rights (1981) also recognize education as a fundamental human right. Nigeria, definitely is signatory to all of these conventions and recognizes the importance of education to national development. However, inequalities and marginalization of various kinds among different social groups represent one of the biggest problems facing Nigerian society today.
A larger portion of the Nigeria population, as a result, lacks access to tertiary education. Literacy level in the country has resultantly deteriorated, especially within the age group of 15 and 24. (NMDG, 2005) This is highly discouraging because certain socio-economic and institutional factors, among others, prevent majority from being educated. “In fact the disparity in access to education in Nigeria takes several forms; from gender disparities in the educational systems to disparities between demand and supply, disparities between urban and rural schools, and between educational institutions owned and controlled by the Federal Government and those owned and controlled by the States and private agencies. The list is endless”. The above issue becomes significant with the recent ubiquitous of terrorism, youth restiveness, hooliganisms and other socio-political vices experienced in Nigerian today. “An idle mind they say is devil’s workshop”; it is „devil in action‟ when such mind is youth’s.
As far back as 1959, equal opportunity for access to tertiary education had been articulated by the Ashby Commission as a problem of concern to all. The commission was particular about regional inequality in educational opportunities i.e., the imbalance in educational opportunities between the southern and northern parts of the country.
On the other hand, inequality in educational access, involves barriers based on accessibility, affordability or admissibility constraints which prevent individual from enjoying equal opportunity in gaining and obtaining tertiary education. Equality, or equal opportunity, first and foremost, relates to access, and in this case, access to higher education, i.e. whether all students interested in or enrolling in higher education can do so. Equality is primarily restricted by the limited capacities of higher education institutions. In the context of Nigerian, inequality in educational access can be seen as an institutionalized educational prejudice and designed denials arising from imbalance social status and unequal competition for scarce resources. The outgrowth of the socio-economic structure which perpetuates inequalities in access to resources in the society incidentally renders tertiary education as yardstick for determining social class and financial power in the society

EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION REMAINS A DREAM IN NIGERIA.
This assertion is true despite UN universal declaration on education that education shall be compulsory at least in elementary and fundamental stage, and the NPE which adjudicated for an egalitarian society free education for all.
The factors which accounted for dream yet unfulfilled and numerous. These include:
1 Poverty level of the masses
2 Religious and cultural sentiments where some women are not given assess to basic education
3 Poor budgeting for the educational sector on the part of the government
4 Social stratification where the elites’ children are sent abroad to have education, whereas children of commoners cannot afford basic education within the country.
5 High cost of school fee in all our institutions of learning which force some parents to withdraw their children from school.
6 The wider gap between the rich and the poor.
7 Poor education reform s and lack of implementation of educational policies on the part of the government.
If all these factors and many more are not addressed, equal assess to education will continue to be a dream in Nigeria.

Equal education in Nigeria cannot be equal for the following reasons:
1. Class
2. Religion
3. Family background
4. Social stratification
e.g children of nomadic farmers and that of learned parents etc.
Also, the class of individual parents affect the level to which their children /wards will ha e access to education etc.

The realization of this goal will remain a dream as long as there is imbalance education programme for every nigeria child and school age practices and an increased ability to access innovation in the school system.The policy was applaued especially because of the promises of equal educational opportunity it beld for Nigerains.Another factor responsible for unequal access to education in the religious and culture of the people.Nigeria has so many nation state with different religious and diverse culture.In some parts of the country.Werstern education is insurgence in some part of the noth destabilizing the system.

Equall Access to Education in Nigeria Remains A Dream; This Dream is fading away because the reality seems not to be unfolding, this is because the Education Sector of the Country fell on the hand of Unconcerned Leader who are only concerend for their pockect and their Family, this has been for decades, and the so called "Leaders of Tomorrow" are willing to go by their steps and have their share of the "National Cake" when opportuned to do so. So in a situation like this, the dream of equall access to education have been buried before death.
The Class of people in the country also cannot permit the equall acess to education, for the child of the low class have been indoor for months on Strike, but the child of the upper class continues with their education without any delay or denial.

Hmmm
Prior to independence in 1960, Nigerians had seriously criticized the British colonial regime on issues of relevance, comprehensiveness and focus of the system of education provided to Nigerians. Among several other agitations, Nigerian leaders and educators were particularly worried that the British system of education laid emphasis on academic subjects; educational opportunity was restricted to few people and that the British grammar school system of education was trans-imposed on Nigeria without due consideration to the culture, environment and the aspirations of Nigeria as a country (Nwangwu, 2003).
The Philosophy of Nigerian Education
The philosophy of Nigerian education is embedded in the National Policy on Education. According to the policy document, the five national goals which Nigeria’s philosophy of education draws its strength are:
1. A free and democratic society;
2. A just and egalitarian society;
3. A united, strong and self-reliant nation;
4. A great and dynamic economy;
5. A land full of bright opportunities for all citizens. (National Policy on Education, Based on the above national aspirations, the philosophy of the Nigerian education seeks to achieve the following:
a) The development of the individual into a sound and effective citizen.
b) The full integration of the individual into the community; and
Free and Democratic Society
A free society is a society where the citizens do not suffer restrains or undue interference. They are at liberty to achieve whatever they want to achieve that the least capable person can attain.
Just like freedom, democracy implies:
1. That all men possess certain inalienable rights;
2. That all humans are to be regarded equal in certain respects;
3. Faith in human intelligence;
4. Enhancement of individual freedom;
5. Right to peaceful dissent (Omoteso and Aladejana, 2003)
Just and Egalitarian Society
The attributes of a just and egalitarian society entails that all persons should be considered of equal importance and their opinions treated equally and seriously (Ocho, 1988). Underneath a just and egalitarian society is the principle of justice and fairness; and the principle of fairness to all is also the principle of equity. The goals of a just and egalitarian society can indeed be pursued through education. Here, education can be used to deliberately inculcate in the learner the spirit of fairness and help to recognize individual differences and needs.
The Nigerian Philosophy of Education and the Attainment of Equality of Access to Educational Opportunities in Nigeria.
Pursuant to the attainment of the broad national goals examined in the earlier, the National policy provides that the philosophy of the Nigerian education shall among others be based on “The provision of equal access to educational opportunities for all citizens of the country at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels both inside and outside the formal school system”. (NPE, 2004; 7).In order to realize equality of access to educational opportunities, the policy framework provides that government shall undertake the following measures:
a. Education shall continue to be highly rated in the national development plans;
b. Lifelong education shall be the basis of the nation’s educational policy;
c. Education and training facilities shall continue to be expanded in response to societal needs and progressively accessible to afford the individual a far more diversified and flexible choice.

Equal access to education in Nigeria remains a dream because of the following reasons:
1. There can never be equal access to education in Nigeria because of different classes of people in the nation. For instance, we have the people that belong to first class,middle class, and lower class.
2. There is social stratification in the nation.
3. Different religion with different beliefs.
4. Family factor e.g. family with large number of children and the family with few number of children.

The answer is simply no because the concept of inequality itself is very fluid and seems unattainable. Equal education will continue to be a dream because Nigeria is not a society with one-class system (inequality in social status). it follows logically that no child within the society can enjoy equal right to education

It is possible for children within the society to have equal right to education due to
1. High cost of living
2. Family factor
3. Economic factors
4. Political factors
