Illustrate theories of ethical leadership in higher\u0000 education institutions; (ii) Determine importance of ethical leadership in higher\u0000 education institutions; and (iii) Determine challenges facing ethical leadership in\u0000 institutions of higher learning. The total number of written texts sampled was 32. The\u0000 researcher employed non-probability sampling. The type employed was online convenience\u0000 sampling using web scraping. The interpretivism philosophical assumption led this\u0000 investigation, and the qualitative approach was used. Case study was employed as a\u0000 design and content analysis as a data analysis tool. The study found out that ethical\u0000 leadership is essential in higher education institutions because it establishes a solid\u0000 ethical foundation, fosters an environment of integrity, and contributes to the\u0000 institutions' long-term success and viability. It acts as a model for all stakeholders,\u0000 motivating them to follow ethical concepts and values in their academic pursuits and\u0000 institutional responsibilities. The challenges of ethical leadership in higher education\u0000 institutions range from fiscal limits to issues about diversity, governance, and\u0000 technology. It is vital for higher education institutions to address these concerns in\u0000 order to maintain their integrity and efficiency. Recommendations included but were not\u0000 limited to the following: (i)Ethical leaders should model the behaviour they expect from\u0000 their staff and students. Show integrity, honesty, and justice in your acts and\u0000 decisions; (ii) Establish Clear Ethical Standards: Develop an ethical code or set of\u0000 fundamental ideas for your educational community. Ensure that these expectations are\u0000 communicated to all stakeholders, including staff, students, parents, and the general\u0000 public;(iii). Encourage Open Communication: Create an environment in which faculty and\u0000 students can express concerns and report unethical behaviour. Encourage transparency and\u0000 active listening while responding to remarks; and (iv). Ethical Decision-Making\u0000 Training: Provide leaders and personnel with ethical decision-making training and\u0000 professional development opportunities.

The policy envisaged a drastic reduction in the reluctance of\u0000 parents/guardians towards basic education in parts of Nigeria where the pursuit of\u0000 qur’anic education remained predominant. So far, the free education programme had\u0000 yielded less than desirable results as the number of Out of School Children (OOSC)\u0000 remain largely and increasingly unacceptable, thus necessitating a study that\u0000 investigated stakeholders’ perspectives on the extent to which awareness and the\u0000 participation in schooling amongst school age children has been achieved. Hence, the\u0000 level of awareness and how stakeholders’ perspectives may be impacting on universal\u0000 basic education policy implementation vis-à-vis out of school children phenomenon in\u0000 Nigeria were examined. In fulfilling the objective of the study, the respondents’\u0000 perspectives were obtained through a multi-stage sampling technique.
