      Аннотация: Education is seen as a key instrument for achieving Nigeria’s national development goals of sustained,equitable socioeconomic development and the eradication of poverty. This book is destined to play a major role inexciting,motivating and educating the stakeholders and policy makers within and outside the country on the issue(s) of Access and Equity dimensions of Quality Education in the context of SDGs Lessons from DFID’s Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria. On the issue of access to quality education,this book bring to fore the serious inequalities that exist(s) between urban and rural areas,southern and northern states, rich(er) and poor(er) households,non-farming and farming households,and between women and men. More so,rather than looking at the access to public schools directly,the researcher considers access to schools in terms of school proximity. This is particularly important as distance to school was the most widely cited reason for children never having attended school. This book, no doubt would be very relevant to educational administrator(s), policy makers,curriculum planners and implementers,educational professional bodies, students and future researchers.
