Women’s Education: A Catalyst for Nigeria’s Sustainable Future

Abstract

All over the world, education is an indispensable tool for sustainable national development. This is to affirm that no nation has ever achieved sustainable development without adequate investment in education industry and particularly in women’s education. Education is undoubtedly, a major instrument for appropriate innovations and enhancement of societal development and must be tailored properly to achieve the hope of Education For All (EFA). Therefore, this paper discusses the concept of education, women’s education, and its objectives as enshrined in the National Policy on Education (2004). It equally highlights those challenges militating against women education and the way forward. Conclusion were drawn and recommendations were made, such as women education must be given adequate attention it deserves by the government, stakeholders and Non- Governmental Organization (NGOs) among others.
