Abstract

In Nigeria, many internally displaced persons (children) in IDPs camps are not receiving quality education services because of many challenges. This paper examined the problems hindering the provision of education services for Internally Displaced Persons (children) in their various camps across Nigeria. Both qualitative and quantitative resources were sourced online and on print materials were used to provide empirical and opinion support to the various points raised in the paper. The paper concludes that inadequate funding, shortage of specialized and professional teachers, lack of modern infrastructural facilities, inadequate instructional materials, lack of data, corruption, poverty, limited school facilities and instructional challenges of internally displaced person (IDP) were the problems hindering the provision of education services for the Internally Displaced Persons (children) in IDPs camps in Nigeria. To ensure provision of quality education services in all IDPs camps across the federation, this paper advance the following suggestions; that the federal and state government should create a special funding programme for the education of the internally displaced persons in IDPs camps; federal government should direct the Minister of education to create the department of emergency education in the ministry of education to handle the education for internally displaced persons in IDPs camps across the country, government should develop an effective monitoring and evaluation system to check the financial allocation to all the internally displaced person camps to prevent diversion of funds, government should set up committee to ensure accurate data of school-aged children are collected in all IDPs camps to enable effective planning of education for the IDPs camps across the country etc.

The implementation of the School-Based Management Committee of public secondary school in Nigeria is however faced with some problems. This paper examined the problems hindering the implementation of School-Based Management Committee of public secondary schools in Nigeria. The paper employed secondary and primary data. The data were sourced from print and online resources. The paper discovered that School-Based Management Committee of public secondary schools has contributed to the improvement of school administration and management, funds mobilization and improvement in planning and maintenance of school plant facilities. The paper also identified inadequate funding, corruption, insecurity, poor participation of parents, poor capacity building of stakeholders, lack of motor-able roads and ineffective supervision of the programme as the major problem hindering the implementation of school-based management committee of public secondary schools in Nigeria. The paper specifically suggested that the government should increase the funding of the programme and communities and parents should be encouraged to contribute their counterpart funding on time.
