Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Education is a cornerstone of national development, and public policies play a crucial role in shaping the education sector. In Nigeria, the government has introduced various policies aimed at improving access to quality education, enhancing infrastructure, and addressing disparities in educational attainment (Garba & Usman, 2023). Wurno Local Government, located in Sokoto State, faces unique educational challenges, including low enrollment rates, inadequate teaching resources, and poor infrastructure.
Public policies such as the Universal Basic Education (UBE) program and the Teacher Professional Development Initiative have been implemented to address these issues. However, the effectiveness of these policies in Wurno remains debatable, as gaps in funding, implementation, and monitoring continue to hinder progress (Mohammed et al., 2024). This study examines the impact of public policy on the education sector in Wurno Local Government, highlighting successes, challenges, and potential solutions.
