| dc.description | This paper examined concept of education and women education in Nigeria. The paper specifically looked at contributions of women’s education to national development and barriers to women education in Nigeria. The paper employed secondary data. The data were collected from both print and online publications. The paper concluded that women’s education has led to man-power, politics, family up-bringing, socio-economic, personal, education, health, social status, decision –making and sport development in Nigeria. The paper also identified high illiteracy rate, cultural factor, religion, insecurity, distance, infrastructure facilities shortage, early marriage, poor implementation of gender policies and shortage of female teachers as barriers to women’s education in Nigeria. To address these problems, the paper suggested the following: 1. Government at every levels should increase funding of education and specifically increase budgetary allocation to women’ education in Nigeria. Government should embark on mass sensitizing programme in both cities and rural areas to eliminate all forms of cultural, religious and traditional beliefs of the people against women’ education. More female teachers should be employed across all educational institutions to attract more women to schools. More educational institutions such as primary schools, secondary schools and adult education centres should be built in rural areas to encourage women education across Nigeria. | en-US |
