Abstract

Outlines the background of Nigeria, politically, citing particularly the British influence on the education system. Offers a framework that traces the historical background of inequality in education and shows how this is linked to the global internal workings of Nigeria’s education system. Argues that most women are aware of their right to equality, but there is a need for the state to acknowledge their obligation to encourage development in areas of educational inequality.
