    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 7 No. 9 September 2019 FACTORS HINDERING ACCESS TO UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: IMPLICATION FOR ADMISSION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES By Hadiza Hafiz, Ph.D Department of Arts and Social Science Education, Faculty of Education Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano-Nigeria [email protected] Abstract University education being the basic instrument of economic growth and technological advancement in any country, demand for it has increased due to the recent policy of universal, free and compulsory education at the basic levels and also as a result of an increase in the college-age population, as well as an awareness of the role of university education in the development of the individual and the nation in general. This paper, therefore, examines issues and challenges of securing admission to Universities in Nigeria. To do this, efforts were made to examine the operation of university education in Nigeria, the concept of access in education, the federal government policies on admission, major factors that influence and impede access to university among others were discussed in the paper. In conclusion the paper revealed that despite the increase in the number of universities, the rate of admission is low compared to the number of applicants. This is as a result of impediments to access and management of admission in the universities. Based on that, the paper recommends for the establishment of more universities to meet the needs of those yearning for University education. More academic staff should be employed, and to make admission twice in a year as it has been done in many countries.

    International Journal on Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS, Vol 16, No 1 March, 2020)||gubdjournals.org THE HISTORY OF THE EMERGENCE OF PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA Simeon Emenike Weli, Ph.D. Faculty of Technical and Science Education, Rivers State University, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Abstract The demand for university education became so great in Nigeria during and following the oil-boom era that existing universities in the country could not offer admission to all. This and other factors discussed in this work led to the deregulation of higher education to give room to private sector participation. This paper examined the history of the emergence of private universities in Nigeria. Introduction Private education is a reality and has been growing around the world together with globalization. Private universities are seen as the most vibrant and fastest growing sections of post secondary education in the 21st century (Altbach, 1999). These are some of the reasons why privatization of higher education is quick growing globally, especially in Nigeria. i. There are the deregulation policies of the governments on the provision of education and thus giving adequate opportunities for private participation in education. ii. There is the inability of the public sector to satisfy the growing social demand for higher education, hence the need for the private sector to expand students’ access to higher education. iii. Public education is criticized for inefficiency while the private sector is increasingly promoted for its efficiency in operation. iv. The demand for employment oriented courses and subjects of study had changed and public universities seem unable to respond adequately to this phenomenon, hence it becomes imperative that private sector should increase.
