Human Resources Capacity Development for Effective Delivery of Education in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper explores how human resources capacity development can be used for the effective delivery of education in Nigeria. The development of the various human resources in the education sector is important if educators are to provide quality education for the teeming youths of the nation and this cannot be overemphasized. The various human resources categories in the education sector were critically examined and their roles analyzed. The various ways in which capacity building for these human resources can be carried out was also looked at. Since education is a symbiosis between the teacher and the taught, this means that no group should be left out of the development process as per continuous training. Recommendations were then made on how to use proper Hunan Resources Management tools such as training, communication, recognition for job well done and even national awards when necessary so that there can be job satisfaction in the education sector in Nigeria and personnel there can contribute their quota to the development of the country.

Key words: Capacity building; Human resources; Management tools; Job satisfactions and quality education
