Conclusion
In the public school perspective, the governments have done a lot in making education a social commodity by catering for all. This effort has met several pitfalls due to population rate in schools, insufficient fund, and or concentration of effort in urban areas thereby leaving greater number of the rural public schools in very sorry states. In fact, the decaying state of public schools is compounded more by fund to maintain existing infrastructures, administrative costs and prompt salaries for school personnel. PTA levies in public schools supplementing government subventions is not so common in Nigeria because of government educational subsidy. Various states have their educational palliative measures in place. Schools imposition of compulsory development levies for private property after charging exorbitant fees should be questioned by PTA. Even though, they have helped to foster hope on education in Nigeria, PTA’s roles need to be cleared to all parents whose wards attend the schools. As a business enterprise, schools maintain quality standard through proper and disciplined administrative control. Adequate funding helps to achieve and maintain education goals. But PTA’s role remains supportive only to ensure that quality of academic service meets the expected standard. It should not be fund generation for the school proprietors.
