1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Cooperative
Education/Training is one of the cooperative principles which seek to provide
Education/Training for cooperative members, elected representatives, managers
and employees, so that they can contribute effectively to the development of
their cooperative. Its importance cannot be overemphasized in cooperative
development. Cooperative education/training stands in the centre of the
cooperative movement.
From the inception of
the early cooperative of Rochadale, the pioneers of the world cooperatives movement,
one of the unique tasks embarked upon was philosophy and practice of
cooperative. Even in the recent review of cooperative principles in 1966,
the International Cooperative Alliance “ICA” re-stated Cooperative
Education/Training as one of the cardinal principles of cooperation. The
cooperative rules laws and bye-laws of respective cooperative societies and the
1993 cooperative decree stipulated that some percentage of the cooperative
society surplus should be appropriated as a provision for education, training
and information of the members, management committee and other cooperative
officials. The management of cooperative business enterprises is a body
of elected members in a cooperative society who handles the affairs and the day
to day running of the cooperative business enterprise. The importance of
management in any organisation is axiomatic. The success or failure of an
organisation depends to a great extent on the quality of the management
committee.
Therefore officers
and management of cooperative business enterprise required a more technical
education/training to be able to control the management. Moreover, in
order to alleviate the problems of illiteracy, ignorance of members, misconduct
and poor management. Cooperative education/training and management of
cooperative business enterprises must be tenaciously pursued.
Cooperative provide
education and planning for their members elected representative, managers and
employees so they can contributed effectively to the development of their
cooperatives. They inform the general public particularly young people
and opinion leaders about the nature and benefits of cooperative.
Cooperative education
involves member education involves member education involved member education
staff and public education. Cooperative education will result to
information dissemination and creation of the needed information. The
purposes of cooperative education.
-
To create and also to creating, forwarding awareness
-
To provide knowledgeable members and physical ability in them.
To produce efficient
and result oriented staff.
To produce dedicated
leaders who can brings ideals in a positive angle.
To produce dedicated
leaders who can brings ideals in a positive angle.
Cooperative education
is regarded as the mother of all the principles of cooperative. Thus,
without education, the other cooperative principles cannot be effectively
applied. Imparting cooperative education is the responsibility of cooperatives
societies education instiutions, government or government agencies responsible
for cooperative matters, international cooperative Alliance graduate of
cooperative etc. It is of interest to ntoe that cooperative etc is of
interest to note that cooperative education should be handled by knowledgeable
persons or expert in cooperative education is meant for the followings persons.
The general public which can make positive angle in a stand prospective members
who understanding that there about members of cooperative organization
progressive of the organization. Cooperative officers (past) employees
also find a merit solutions for the organization. A member of the society
may not withstanding the content of the bye laws of the society to the contrary
give notice to the society of which he is a member within a period of two
months from his receipt of the copy of the preliminary resolution, indict his
intention not to become a member of the new society. Promote better trained
management and staff as increased revenue from several activities puts the
society in the region of comfort. Reduced burden on the members and staff
to share contribution will be limited to only society. Cooperative effect
will be shared by many members or trained, even to seek an ideas profit.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Generally,
history of cooperatives education in the developing countries of the world
reveals that the main cause of rickety foundation of cooperation has been the
lack of cooperative education/training.
Lack of cooperative
education/training is disloyalty of members, high incidence of over-due and
unpaid loans, low attendance at meetings, ignorance of members’ proposals, poor
member relations, bad management, low productivity resulting in little or no
surplus, poor public image, inability to change with the times and other
harmful result.
Lack of
education/training and business inexperienced limits the effectiveness of
managers, president, secretaries, treasurers and other management committee
members. Quite often, some people come together as members pool their
resources together and form a cooperative society without the proper
cooperative ideology. They enter into cooperative business for political
or personal interests, without adequate cooperative education/training to equip
them for an effective task.
Some cooperative societies, due to
their small-size, low membership, find it very difficult to raise fund
sufficient to organize or sponsor special training programmes for their
management of cooperative business enterprises. Such cooperative
education/training programme includes seminars, conferences or relevant courses
institutions of higher learning.
Most cooperative societies do not have
serious training programme for their staff. One may still point to inadequacy
of fund as a main reason for this situation. One can hardly see any cooperative
employee (not government officials) from around attending any of
the cooperative education/ training. Members can be individual help liable for
all the outstanding debts of the cooperative without giving account of positive
but it cooperative provide education/ training for their members elected
representative managers, and employees so they can contribute effectively to the
development of their cooperatives. They were concerns of the fact that
lack of cooperative educational/ training was one of the causes for the
collapse of the early cooperative movement. Cooperative education/
training helps equip the members with the skills, knowledge and confidence to
enable then use, participate in and control the cooperative move
effectively and generally, to become both better cooperative education.
Training. The members were ignorant of the role of cooperative society their
rights and responsibilities and there was no provision for education.
Training. Education training is prime necessity for the success of
cooperative societies, because the plight of the members was because of the
ignorance. The practice of cooperative education/ training is power
to forward cooperative and it cannot stand without education/ training the
benefits of cooperative were derived from people attempting things for
themselves or outstanding cooperative societies should embark on sound
education / training for all managers and workers.
