ABSTRACT
Early years in life are the most important to the
formation of intelligence, personality and social behaviour of a child. The
Nursery or Early Childhood Education (ECE) comprises essential
programmes and activities which are critical to holistic development, academic
success and future achievements of children. ECE is recognised by the federal
government of Nigeria as a foundational and essential programme that Nigerian
children must experience. Primary
education is a foundational level of education that needs to be well funded,
controlled and managed. Adequate provisions of education to the citizens
contribute greatly to the socioeconomic development of the country. Therefore
good administration of primary level of education is required to foster
national growth and development. That is why
modern societies show serious concern for the education of their young ones by
providing needed support to prepare them to succeed later in school (Ejieh,
2006). It is common practice in most societies to make provision for early
childhood education programmes of various sorts for children below the official
school-going age (usually 6years) mainly to prepare them for education in
primary schools (Obidike, 2012). The Federal Government of Nigeria recognizes
the importance of early childhood education in Nigeria and as a result it was
given prominence in the National Policy of Education ( FRN, 2004) as one of the
programmes in the Nigerian educational system. This is why the government has given highly rated attention to
it through various interventions that include formulation of policy documents
and network of relationships among different sectors. Unfortunately, various
challenges are facing the implementation of ECE in Nigeria. This study examines
the challenges that are militating against this important early education in
pre-primary schools and Primary schools. Some practical ways to overcome the
challenges are provided.
