| Summary: | Private schools are currently educating
the majority of primary and secondary education students in
Lagos State, Nigeria. As such, Lagos is one of the largest
private school markets in the world. Notwithstanding the
influence of this sector, not enough is known about the
operations of private schools in Lagos State, their impact
on student learning opportunities, and their overall
implications for the economic and social development of
Nigeria. This report presents results from analyses of: (i)
the regulatory environment governing private education
provision; (ii) implementation of existing regulations; and
(iii) the provision of private school services in Lagos. The
results of this research can be used to inform the
government on how to effectively regulate and engage with
the private education sector. |
