CHAPTER ONE; INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Beside the contribution of education on national economic growth, it also plays significant role in reducing income inequality, research done by Phillipe, Peter and Fabrice, (2011) and Kakar, Khilji and Khan (2011) concluded that educational achievement as well as human capital development would positively reduce income inequality. In general, there is a consensus among the researchers that education influenced economic growth by reducing poverty incidence, social imbalances as well as income equality. Moreover, it gives a positive impact to the poor and needy to improve their live.

        The World Development Report (2007), examined how knowledge influences development. The report reinforces some well-known lessons, such as the value of knowledge gained through trade and foreign investment. It also highlights others that have sometimes been overlooked, such as how imperfect information leads to failure in all markets and the importance of institution to facilitate the flow of information. Moreover, the report looks at the role of knowledge in development, examining difference in knowledge across and within the countries, the impact of knowledge gaps and information failures on development, and the way in which governments in developing countries and international institutions can foster development by addressing these issues.

        Similarly, the report observes that the acquisition of knowledge and information is becoming increasingly critical to economic growth as science and engineering findings proliferate and take on ever-greater importance in production of goods and services. As information grows exponentially and as its incorporation in the production processes becomes increasingly complex, the ability to acquire, adopt, and adapt a new knowledge will be an important determinant of economic growth. This perhaps must have heightened the need to investigate the link between education and economic growth (Isola, 2012).

        To Obaji (2006), the responsibility of producing highly quality manpower and specialist is that of the nation's tertiary educational institutions. According to her, in the time past, thousands of well-trained manpower turned out in the tertiary institutions across the country was highly sought after both at home and abroad. The exploit of Nigerian experts abroad is a clear affirmation of the quality of training impacted on them by the institutions. However, that is not the same situation now as most Nigerian graduates are no longer employable. The quality of teachers constitutes a major determinant of the quality of education, because no educational system can rise above the quality of its teaching staff. The quality of teaching staff in the nation's educational institutions, whether primary, secondary or tertiary is a cause for concern. Their ability to deliver would be impaired by the ineffective training received.
