Sustaining Secondary School Education Beyond School Fees; Advocacy for Income Generation through Entrepreneurship Development

Abstract

Education remains the fulcrum of societal development as the progress of a nation depends on the quality and level of the educational pursuit of its citizenry. This paper is on sustaining secondary school education beyond school fees. Entrepreneurship Development as an alternative for income generation for secondary school education is advocated. This proposition is in consonance with the National Policy on Education (NPE) in Nigeria that provides for specific goals of secondary education. Though open to private and corporate participation, the educational sector is regulated as such; proprietors have set roles and obligation while running and managing Secondary School. Faith/Church based institution with evangelism as topmost rely on charity of missionaries in sustaining Secondary Schools rather than school fees. This paper advocates for more income generation through entrepreneurship development.
