Abstract
The federal government has made series of efforts, particularly after independence, to give the education of the citizenry a face-lift. Outstanding among such efforts is the Universal Basic Education programme recently introduced to provide, among others, free, universal basic education to the Nigerians of school age. However, this programme is being juxtaposed with deregulation policy which is profit oriented. Therefore, this research work focused of the “Analysis of deregulation and the attainment of the Universal Basic Education objectives in Enugu State”. The purpose of the study was, therefore, to find out whether deregulation will help UBE attain its set objectives particularly in Enugu State. Four research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated for the study. A 28-item questionnaire was developed and administered to seven hundred and seventy four (774) respondents (comprising 324 education experts and 450 parents) drawn from public schools in the three out of six education zones of Enugu State. The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation statistics, while the null hypotheses were tested using z-test statistic. The study found, among other things, that deregulation, because of its profit motive, will not develop educational consciousness; will not guarantee free, universal basic education; will heighten the rate of drop-out from school; and will not cater for the educational needs of those whose education was interrupted. The findings also indicated that parents would not be allowed to provide quality education to their children/wards in a deregulated setting, and that educational opportunities would be denied to children of poor parents. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended, inter alia, that the government should put palliative measures in place before full introduction of deregulation in the education sector; increase budgetary allocations to meet the education needs; provide bursary and scholarship awards especially to indigent students,; ensure minimum tuition fee for both public and private schools, and provide job opportunities and improve the working conditions of workers to enable them provide education needs of their children/wards especially in a deregulated education milieu.
