Psychological studies have proved that the first seven years of an individual is very crucial as it forms the bedrock of one's latter life. During this age bracket, a child gains experience of nursery and primary schools. Some parents do their best at home to educate their kids (though non-professionally) how much more the school teachers who are professionally trained to do so.
The nursery and primary (as its name applies) schools should offer foundational education to these kids as subsequent studies continues from where they stops. The height and durability of every building depends on the strength of the foundation. Most of these schools lack standard facilities and qualified teachers; those that do, are out of reach for the laymen.
Nursery and primary education should be made standard as the first step towards bringing Nigerian education to what it should be. Next, it should be made free or at least subsidized (Nigeria can afford this); but corrupt officials should be fished out to avoid diversion of these funds and materials. Universal basic education if properly executed can rescue Nigerian education from the brink.
