Simply put, public School is often used as a yard stick by which a country’s educational growth and development is measured. In the 1970s/80s and early 90s in Nigeria, public schools were more popular because they had discipline, good teachers and adequate facilities for learning.[2] However, the deterioration of the country’s educational system has continued to generate a lot of scholarly debates.
