CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria, education for a long time
was almost a private enterprise. The missionaries individual and some voluntary
organizations shoulder the respective responsibilities of providing education
for teeming and over increasing population of the country. In 1973, the, Bendel
State government education edict of the previous year (1972) resolved the ownership
and control of educational institutions and of economy from these private
organizations individual and religious groups. This was done largely with a
view to ensuring that the interest served by education is entirely Nigerian. As
would be expressed there was an increase in the number of schools under state
control. This brought in the numerous administrative and financial problems. As
this situation was not bad enough, the government of professor Ambrose Alli
declared free education in 1979, at the same time, Allis government encouraged
communities to establish more colleges on their own and also take active part
in their day to day running. With the increase in the number of schools and
students in 1972, it became clear that government efforts alone cannot sustain
the schools system. A direct result of this was that schools financing and
physical development also became a partnership between the state government and
the people represented by a body known as parent teachers association.
The Bendel state
education edict of 1972 earlier given legal backing and encouragement to the
formulation of parents teachers association in schools. The parents teachers
association with an executive body of twelve members known as the school
committee among others empowered by law to perform the following functions.
1.
Making representation to be board or local teaching service committee as the
case may be on matters affecting the school.
2.
Co-ordination of local voluntary efforts such as the provision of financial and
assistance to the school
3.
Subject to the provision of this law doing such things as may effectively
enhance the tone and efficiency of the schools.
4.
Provision of suitable liaison between teachers and parents on the hand between
the parents teachers association and the commission, local teaching committee
or the ministry of education, as the case may be on the other.
Inspite of the
official recognition of the role of the parents teachers association in the
school system, not many people are aware of its function well as its problem.
