The document discusses challenges with formulating and implementing educational policies in Nigeria. Some key points: - Nigeria has expressed commitment to education but policies are poorly implemented, leading to issues like low literacy rates and lack of qualified teachers. - Frequent changes in government negatively impact consistency in policies and their implementation. New policies are introduced before prior ones can be fully implemented. - Effective implementation is hindered by lack of understanding of the policy process, inadequate funding, and failure to conduct advocacy to ensure research findings inform new policies.
