Change Agenda Policy Of Nigeria: A School Administrative Paradigm For National Development

Abstract

This paper examines change agenda policy (CAP) as a School Administrative Frame-Work for national development.The researcher employed descriptive survey design methodology using primary and secondary sources of data. Theresearcher anchors the study with theoretical clarifications of Applied Ethics Theory and scientific managementtheory. It was discovered that one of the greatest hindrance to change agenda policy in Nigerian education fornational development is under-funding and educational funds mismanagement. And so, public private partnershipand financial moral ethics of the educational managers play significant role as a yardstick for measuring educationfor national development. The paper recommended among others, the adoption of PPP approach to educationalfunding. This is because higher standard of education and credibility will be achieved through public privatepartnership. Corruption should then be eradicated from Nigerian educational system through adequate sanctions ofthose who have been mismanaging the educational funds in the past. This will serve as deterrents to others that areplanning to commit similar offences in the future. Also, educational funding and quality assurance should be given alion share in the national budget.
