O. U."This study discusses the essence of management development as a national policy. No meaningful national development can take place without an appropriate management in place. This can be evolved through the installation and implementation of an enduring management development (training). This is because all the resources for national development and, indeed, for sectoral development are mobilized, organized, controlled, utilized and monitored by the manager. While management is an everyday phenomenon, the manager must acquire the skill, knowledge and competence through systematic management development programme. This study distinguishes management development from national development by discussing each of them in detail. It also makes distinction between training and development, stating that the former is a sub-set of the latter, and emphasizes that the differences lie in the fact that one has a duration, while the other is of continuous nature. While training may have a definite period, development is continuous training that dovetails from one form into another. The study fully examines the na ture of management and its relevance to national development. Thus, management development is a vehicle for realizing national development. Introduction"Item Programme evaluation: a mangement education programme perspective(Educational Planning Unit, Department of Educational Management, University of Ibadan., 2006-02) Onuka, A. O. U.This paper discusses the importance of management education as a potent means of human resource development. It also stresses the importance of evaluation as no one does exist and continue his existence without constantly doing one form of evaluation or the other. Thus evaluation of a management education programme cannot be overlooked if it were to satisfactorily achieve its goal, as its evaluation would constantly helps to put it on track. The type of management education programme to be evolved depends largely on the needs assessment of either an organization or a nation. Evaluation is the method of determining needs assessment. Thus evaluation precedes a management programme and also succeeds it. There are several methods of evaluation among which are antecedents, transactions and outcomes model, context, input, process and product, and discrepancy evaluation models. However, the antecedents, transactions and outcomes model was employed in this study. Recommendations include: more durable courses should be devised;' sectoral management education institutions should avoid involvement in general management programmes. Every course should be certificated to attract more entrants. Admission requirements be streamlined among others.Item Total quality management: a technic for improved student achievement(Nigerian Library Association, Oyo state Chapter, 2003) Onuka, A. O.

Education for sustainable development is a vision that seeks to utilize education to empower people to assume responsibility for creating a sustainable future. A central issue to ESD is the concept of culture, an essential underlying theme. It has been acknowledged by experts that there is no single route to sustainable development.
