Abstract

The study was designed to examine managing childhood education in a depressed economy. It viewed that since education is conscious and direct; all the groups that make up the society are involved in providing education to children especially at early stage. The paper therefore discussed the roles of the government, parents and the entire community in child’s education. The paper principally also reviewed the challenges facing childhood education in the Nigerian present-day economic depression such challenges include quality of instruction and teachers, sources of funding and effective management. Implication of these challenges was also discussed. It was concluded that the government, parents and the society at large should not neglect this all important duty to their young children, irrespective of the economic situation. Recommendations included that the government should establish childhood education investment cooperation which should shoulder the responsibilities of leadership and funding of childhood education in Nigeria.
