Research Note: Unmet Needs for Education of Primary School Children in Nigeria.
Abidoye, Rotimi O.
Early Child Development and Care, v148 p97-102 Jan 1999
Surveyed 300 children and 300 teachers in Lagos, Nigeria to determine unmet needs for education. Reasons given for poor-quality education included poor teacher morale, poor parent cooperation, and poor child interest, the latter attributed to chronic malnutrition and illness. Suggestions were made for proper teacher training, adequate remuneration, and improved relationships between parents and their children and schools. (JPB)
