Education is widely regarded as the route to

economic prosperity, the key to scientific and technological advancement, the

means to combat unemployment, and the foundation of social equity. Based on

this fact, the Federal Government of Nigeria like other developing countries

has at different times made frantic efforts in increasing the number of

children enrolled in primary schools though there are still many more who are

not enrolled and who do not complete the programme. This massive expansion has

been possible by the infusion of large sums of monetary allocation to primary

education. Although the functionality of this level of education is not

doubted, in addition to the structural changes made to improve the system, it

has been saddled with problems ranging from issues of enrollment, funding,

infrastructure, teaching personnel and curriculum provisions. This paper

discusses the functionality of primary education and some of the structural

changes made to meet the demands of the society. Furthermore, it highlights the

earlier identified issues as they affect primary education delivery in Nigeria.
