POLITICS OF EDUCATIONAL POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES FOR THE MARGINALISED GROUPS IN NIGERIA

Akpa, G. Owoicho Prof 1 & Gyang Theresa Stephen PhD2

Whereas, Nigeria operates a huge network of educational services of various types and levels, there are yet, groups that are marginalised Given the 1984 UN declaration of education as a human right and having covenanted to the ensuing conventions and protocols, as well as the pursuit of Education for all and Sustainable Development Goals, a number of education policy responses have been formulated to meet those needs. In so doing, the paper highlights those special interest groups, their educational needs and policy responses. It also seeks to unearth the effects of the policies and the role of politics in the process. Drawing from those, it provides the way forward as ideas for export that should benefit the entire Sub-Saharan Africa and the developing world generally.
