Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5

Abstract

This paper centred on ‘Quality Education in the Institutions of Higher Learning in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospect’. It clarified the concepts of quality education and institutions of higher learning. The paper established quality higher as a tool for the development of every nation. It went further to discuss the challenges to the achievement of quality education in the institutions of higher learning in Nigeria, and the matters arising thereof. Finally, the writer is optimistic that these challenges can be changed for better if the following conditions are met: Education to be adequately funded; all institutions of higher learning in Nigeria to establish a workable quality consciousness in staff and students; the curriculum to be regularly reviewed so as to equate its contents with the changing realities; the regulatory agencies responsible for higher education in Nigeria should ensure credible and regular accreditation of academic programmes – the quality and quantity of teachers and students, facilities, and educational services among others.
