About the Cover

Education is important to national development spanning all indices of and precursor of socioeconomic transformation, technologies development, welfare attainment, health and peaceful co-existence in communities. It leads to the culmination of facts, experience and thoughts that is gained over a life time. This informs the aphorism that a nation cannot develop beyond the level of education of the citizenry. Schooling is an organised process of teaching and learning which takes place in formal setting. Children are expected to be exposed to schooling as the primary focus of their engagements. Parents ordinarily take education of their children as important unless there are serious issues that bar them from its achievement. In developed economies almost all children of school age attend schools, whether in urban or rural areas. The experiences in developing nation, particularly in rural areas, are contrary to this, which has been attributed to dearth of infrastructural facilities, indigence and low socioeconomic status.
