Book Description
This book, Education in Nigeria: Reflections and Global Perspectives, provides a broad overview of education in Nigeria. It recognizes the vital role education plays in the development of Nigeria and has attempted to air the concerns and call of the Nigerian public as well as educators for reform in the educational system in Nigeria. The book further recognizes that Nigerian education continues to be evolved, first into a system of Western European education and then into a global system of education. It attempts to examine the status of education in Nigeria and thereby seeks solutions by exploring Nigeria’s and global historical perspectives, current trends, and future directions regarding students and learning, teachers and teaching, the school curriculum, and administration of schools. It is expected that the comprehensive nature of the text will be beneficial to individuals in teacher preparation programs as well as those who plan to work with children in pre-kindergarten (nursery) through secondary settings. The chapter content of the book focuses on the variation of thought as to the principal objectives of educators to help students in Nigeria develop habits, skills and ideas, and help them to think. It adds to the importance of providing education to all, especially at the time when Nigeria is frankly making an effort to affirm democracy. For any nation to be truly democratic, it must maintain an educated electorate. Education prepares people to make informed decisions that affect the society. All children in Nigeria should, therefore, receive an education to prepare them to become effective members of the world society. This book seeks to examine and reflect on education in Nigeria and globally.

Book Description
None of the problems confronting the black community today are more critical to its future than those related to education. Blacks must demand that schools shift their focus from the supposed deficiencies of the black child to the social barriers that stand in the way of academic success. The historical interest of the black community in education can be traced back to the antebellum South and the leadership of W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Despite the social and political accomplishments of blacks since the Brown decision, the following barriers still diminish the education of many black children: (1) schools often reinforce social inequalities rather than overcome them; (2) stereotypes about low income groups and their lifestyles form the basis for low expectations and self-fulfilling prophesies of failure; (3) black and other low income students are shunted away from mainstream classroom instruction by the track system; (4) the use of standardized tests discriminates against the intelligence styles of minority students; (5) the number of black teachers is decreasing; and (6) successful programs such as Head Start and those funded under Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act (ECIA) are not adequately funded to serve all eligible students. Research on school effectiveness identifies the characteristics of schools that successfully educate students, and the work of the School Development Program in New Haven (Connecticut) focuses on the social context needed for improved teaching and learning. Progressive educational reform must focus on the following areas: (1) recognizing the centrality of human relationships; (2) eliminating barriers to effective teaching and learning; and (3) mobilizing physical and political resources. A list of 60 references is appended. (FMW)
