ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to examine the impact of free education policy on public junior secondary schools in Ikeja, Lagos State. Specifically the study was carried out to determine how tuition-free policy influence the quality of education in some selected public junior secondary schools in Education District IV of Lagos State, investigate the extent at which provision of textbooks influence the quality of education, and determine the extent at which recruitment of qualified teachers influence the quality of education. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprise of teachers of some selected junior secondary schools in Ikeja, Lagos State. In determining the sample size, the researcher conveniently selected 59 respondents and 50 were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables. While the hypotheses was tested using Chi-square statistical tool. The result of the findings reveals that the impact of payment of tuition on the quality of education in public junior secondary schools is positive. The study also revealed that recruitment of qualified teachers influenced the quality of education in public junior secondary school. Therefore, it is recommended that education should be removed from the sphere of politics. It should be made purely a constitutional matter, but not as provided by the 1999 constitution which allows escape routes for political leaders. When the constitution states that "Government shall as and when practicable provide free education at different levels”, the right to education has been denied the citizens and political leaders may be non-committal as the provision of education becomes a discretionary matter. To mention but a few.
