| dc.description.abstract | The privatisation of higher education is one of such policies that the Nigerian government aimed would infuse quality and enhance productivity of human resources needed to grow the Nigerian economy. Higher education in Africa was earlier seen as a luxury rather than a necessity. This view may no longer be tenable in the present day Africa, particularly Nigeria, because the rationale for deregulation and privatisation of higher education is to expand access to the increasing population who, though, are ready for tertiary education but for whom the government could not readily provide this veritable social and constitutional service. This paper sought to assess the extent to which privatisation policy has addressed quality improvement and justified private participation in the provision and management of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The challenges embedded in the policy were highlighted and discussed. It was concluded that though, privatisation enhances access but it is not a panacea to quality improvement. It was suggested among others that fundamental issues such as strict compliance with the regulatory standards, poor funding, influence of politics,insufficient and dilapidated infrastructure, and brain drain be urgently addressed irrespective of ownership. Keywords: privatization, deregulation, decentralization, quality assurance. | en_US |
