Book Description
Cultism is one of the problems plaguing the Nigerian educational system, which prevents effective teaching and learning. Since education is the most effective tool for achieving overall development in the nation, the impact of cultism in the educational system leaves a lot to be desired. As a result, the aim of this paper is to investigate the crippling effects of cultism on the educational system. The paper examines the dimensions of cultism, its destructive nature at specific levels of education, the causes and spread of cultism and other cult-related activities on Nigerian campuses. The paper proposes recommendations that include a mass reorientation against violent acts in Nigerian schools using moral and religious teaching, provision of social assistance in schools, as well as enacting and implementing stricter rules. All these recommendations will transform the Nigerian higher institutions into a baston of growth as stated in the National Policy on Education, which views education as the best instrument for national development.
