Education Management and Policy Publishing (EMAPP), in collaboration with the Education Managers and Policy Researchers (EMAPR) University of Calabar, is set to hold its first national conference on the theme “Funding Architecture for Nigeria Educational System.”
The Nigerian educational system is in dire need of funding. The government’s current spending on education is woefully inadequate, and this has led to a decline in the quality of education. An academic conference on funding architecture for the Nigerian educational system would be an important opportunity to discuss this issue and to develop new ideas for how to improve the funding of education in Nigeria.
The conference would bring together experts from a variety of fields, including education, finance, and policy. This would allow for a wide-ranging discussion of the issue and the development of innovative solutions.
The conference would also provide a platform for stakeholders to share their experiences and develop a common vision for the future of education in Nigeria.
