1.2 Statement of the problem
Notably,
More than half of the world‟s population and more than 70% of poor are
to be found in the rural areas where hunger, illiteracy, and low school
achievement are common. Education for a large number of people in rural
areas is crucial for achieving sustainable development. The rural areas
are seen as having greater challenges concerning educational development
than the urban centers due to some socio-economic and institutional
structures of the rural areas.
In Nigeria,the missionaries as well as
our colonial masters came with their culture, Christianity and
education cum style of civilization among other thins. These, especially
culture Christianity and education brought far reaching changes into
our lives. The first formal schools appeared to have connection with the
priesthood institutions. This means that education was confined only to
a small portion of population usually sons of nobility depending on the
social stratification. The society being seen as an organized
collectivity of people made up of network of interconnected groups,
though different societies emerged with the school or other society for
survival. The same is true with formal education for community
development. Therefore education functions as a wheel change which can
drive a society to a better tomorrow if all hands are on deck. While
this seem to be true, many scholars has assert that the extent at which
formal education has driven community development is low. Thus it is
upon this premise that this study seeks to examine the impact of formal
education on community development in Oredo Local Government, Edo State.
