It was observed that Economy in Africa has not been growing well compared to developed continents in the world due to problems of underdevelopment occasioned by bad governance, and wide-spread corruption. Nigeria economy at present is undergoing a severe experience of an economic recession. Since some of the factors undermining development in Africa are also responsible for economy that slid into recession, the focus of this paper is to identify and discuss factors that are responsible for economic recession in Nigeria and explain how it can be tackled through the teaching of Literature-in- English in secondary schools. The writers are of the opinion that the inculcation of desirable societal virtues such as patriotism, honesty, dignity of labour, self-sacrifice through compulsory teaching of Literature in English will be in line with the federal government change mantra and help in revamping the nation’s economy that slid into recession

    Reconciling Ethnic Differences in Nigeria through Literature education: Implications for Peace and Security
    (2016) Fakeye D.O; Aiyede, E. I.
    Nigeria is a country united in diversity. It is composed of diverse ethnic nationalities all trying to assert their cultural identities. The social and political developments of recent years have succeeded in creating a big hiatus in the relationship among the various nationalities. This is manifested in the spates of altercations that have been witnessed among various ethnic groups in recent times. In the face of this dwindling unity, myriads of measures put in place by the government could not achieve much. The ignorance of another culture creates fear, distrust, animosity and a disconnection between cultures in today's society. As always, to be educated about a culture different from one's own is the key to combatting this ignorance, bridge the gap and erase the fear and disconnection in order to start the reconciliation process It is, therefore, believed that using the option of literature education could bridge cultural gaps among the ethnic groups and thereby reduce conflicts to its barest minimum Exposing students to literary works from different ethnic cultures has the ability to nurture respect, empathy and acceptance among all groups. The paper also highlights the implications of this for peace and security in Nigeria

    Karl Marx historical dialectics, cultural education and Nigeria’s economic goals
    (2018) Meroyi, S.I.; Olajide, O.T.
    Educational policy do change as a result of changes in social, economic and political structures. The present 2013 educational policy document became necessary because the nation intends lo meet the medium term economic development plans (NEEDS). This strategies plan has engendered an expanded rote for education as an investment for economic development and social change. The study therefore raised a fundamental question on the relevance of the present of westernized educational System. Karl Marx's historical dialectics emphasized that the social, political, legal and educational System depend on a super structure. the prevailing economic structure. If education is part of the superstructure, there is need to see how the nation can achieve her goal via the cultural education datum. The study employs an integrative approach which is a combination of the speculative, analytical and prescriptive mode of philosophizing. Historical dialectics provided the framework for analyzing the ability of education to meet the needs of the nation vis a vis the economic structure of the society. This study argues that, to meet the economics goal as expressed and emphasized in the 2013 National Policy on Education. the curriculum should be built to meet the economic needs of the society through its cultural dictated practices. Cultural education thus will mean having an environmental and geographical dictated curriculum. An education that de-emphasizes examination and embraces practicality and situated within her learners' culture and language

    (2018-06) Meroyi, S. I.
    One of the several purposes of education is the acquisition of knowledge required to re fine man in terms of behaviour and attitudes. Educational process has as one of its focuses, the affective domain, which is expected to influence man's attitudes, behaviour and character. Several works had been carried out on attitudes of man but not many had been done in the aspect of human nature as a factor that can influence moral behaviours. Philosophy comes handy in the inculcation of right moral actions as its component of axiology, through the aspect of ethics, encourages cultivation of right and good attitudes in interpersonal relations to guarantee security and development of the society. In ensuring this, understanding the nature of man as one of the contents of Philosophy of Education becomes expedient in order to find out good approaches by which thè process of education can build right moral attitudes and actions in man for the purpose of securing and developing the society. This paper attempts to examine in a philosophical discourse, thè place of human nature in cultivating right moral attitudes. It discusses concepts like hedonism, rationalism and virtue. This is to justify the essence of educational process as an instrument per excellence to achieve security and development aspirations of the society. The paper recommends among several others the need to structure contents of each lesson in the classrooms towards acquisition of appropriate social values and virtues that can enable learners become rational in their decision making. It also suggested that a philosophical understanding of the nature of man will enable teachers as well as school counsellors to be more effective in their professional responsibilities. The paper concludes by stating that an understanding of the nature of man and its philosophical implications will enable educators practice their profession efficiently to attain society’s desired goals of secured and developed environment.

    In Nigeria today, there is a growing need for individuals to think in divergent ways to solve the nation’s social and economic challenges, and bring about desired growth. Education has been seen as the bedrock of development in any society. This paper takes a critical look at the Socratic method of imparting knowledge and how it can help learners to build creative ability that can lead to sustainable development in the society. Socrates stated that ideas are formed from the mind and with systematic questioning, man can reason out Solutions to life bordering issues in order to create, innovate as well as proffer Solutions to society's problems. This paper examines Socrates' dialogue with Menno, about a slave boy who was able to solve geometric equation without being taught by a teacher. The paper did not suggest a policy or skill, rather it emphasised the role of a teacher in helping to draw out or lead out the hidden potentials innate in man
