HOW EDUCATIONAL PLANNING HAS HELPED TO RESOLVE THE CHALLENGES OF POOR EDUCATIONAL OUTPUT IN NIGERIA
Contrary to the widespread belief that inadequate funding remains the biggest draw back to the attainment of quality education in the country, there are many others yearning for a negative educational output which can be identified as poor teacher quality, incomplete curriculum, ethical gap, policy inconsistency among other challenges that must be confronted headlong with the implementation of positive education planning that would yield effective educational output achieving the main goals and objectives of the educational system.
It was discovered that the more the funding for education, the less the success rate by students. That shows the issue was not funding. It was also discovered that Nigeria was falling back on enrolment whether primary, secondary, or tertiary. A further discovery showed that 61 million children of primary school age do not have access to education globally, while an estimated 10.5 million of the population are Nigerians. This figure was 3.6 million more in 2015 than it was in year 2000. It is because of these statistics that Nigeria was unable to achieve the Millennium Development Goal for Education. More discorveries revealed that every 100 pupils that went into the school system, unveiled only two who finishes while the 98 drifts away. Most students in public schools were learning nothing; there was lack of courses in critical thinking; a yawning gap between education and workplace, poor management or running of schools, inequalities in terms of gender; inadequate attention given to early child school system; even teachers quality determines as much as 70% of the learning outcomes that students will achieved.
Due to these challenges of poor educational output in Nigeria, it was thought up to implement an effective educational plan to resolve the poor output.

The first nudge was the realisation that the country needed the curriculum to innovate itself to the level of modern society. There was no history of successful implemented plan, thereby a reform in the curriculum from primary to tertiary schools started. The then minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili, advocated a National Economic Governance Conference, where all stakeholders, e.g. local governments, state governments, businessmen, opinion leaders, community-based organizations and civil societies would engage in a conversation that was around economic governance making them understand the roles of the key sectors of the economy and on the basis of what type of productivity, or competitiveness level to be achieved as a country.

The following was also discovered to resolving quality educational output:
1. More funding: To achieve the ambitious goal of providing quality education for all, a UNESCO report suggests that countries would have to allocate at least 20 percent of national budget on education. This seems like a far reality for Nigeria with its 2018 budgetary education allocation of mere 7.04 %. There is a crucial need for the Nigerian government to prioritize the education budget for quality education and better education outcomes. In addition, international donors and multilateral corporations need to support domestic public spending on education. Spending has to match education needs to translate to better educational output.
2. Technology: Technology has the dual benefit of expanding access and improving the quality of education. The mobility of technology implies that learning opportunities can exist everywhere. This is particularly important as physical spaces for learning will not be able to keep up with Nigeria’s population surge, which is expected to double by 2045. Technology also facilitates access to education content, exchange of skills and experiences, as well as knowledge transfer.
