Abstract

Quality education is pivotal in developing a nation’s economy, its citizenry, and the well-being of the people. Some of the mandates of the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) (2019) in Nigeria are to prescribe and maintain uniform standards of education throughout the country, control and monitor the quality of education and develop curricula and syllabuses at the national level. To understand the role of education and how the government provides quality education for students, we can look at it through the lens of comparative education. This can be between countries and within a country; however, this article will explore comparative education from the perspectives of the quality of education provided to children in public schools in Nigeria. The article will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in public secondary schools in Nigeria and draw upon interviews with STEM teachers, school principals, university academics and STEM employers and experts.
