Abstract

Human Resource Development strategy constitutes a major component of educational system of a nation. In many countries of the world including Nigeria, this has been accorded an important place in their efforts at achieving developmental goal. However, Human Resource Development is greatly determined by the standard of education in a country. This paper is aimed at examining the effects low standard of education in Nigeria on its Human Resource Development. Using only secondary data, it was discovered that both the National Policy on Education and the Nigerian Constitution emphasis the importance of investing in human resource through education for accelerated economic, political and social development. However, finding shows that, the present rate of underdevelopment and poverty among other social ills experience in Nigeria is a consequence of the decline in the quality and functional education in the country. The paper thus suggests that, for a reversal of the trend, there is the need for proper educational planning strategy, monitoring and evaluation, better learning environment and adequate funding. Corruption and indiscipline in the educational sector should also be tackled headlong.
