Background of the Study
Education is a key driver of socio-economic development, yet many local governments in Nigeria, including Bida LGA, face challenges in funding the sector adequately. Tax revenue plays a significant role in providing financial resources for public services, including education. In Nigeria, however, educational institutions at the local government level often struggle with inadequate infrastructure, insufficient teaching materials, and low salaries for educators. This is largely due to poor tax revenue collection and mismanagement of funds.
The role of tax revenue in financing education cannot be overstated. It is essential that local governments allocate adequate resources from tax revenues to ensure the sustainability and quality of education systems. While tax collection at the federal and state levels is often discussed, the direct contribution of local taxes to educational funding in areas such as Bida LGA is less explored. Understanding how tax revenue can improve educational outcomes is crucial for policymakers and educational stakeholders in ensuring that adequate resources are made available for the sector.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the crucial role of education in development, schools in Bida LGA face significant funding challenges, limiting the quality of education. Tax revenue is a potential source of funding for education, but there is little research on how tax collections are used for educational improvements in the LGA. This study aims to examine how tax revenue can enhance educational resources and services in Bida LGA.
