Abstract
Political
corruption is a social problem found in various degrees and forms, and in the
education system where it is not exempted, it has become almost endemic. This
paper takes a critical observation regarding the conduct of educational
bureaucrats, administrators of various educational institutions and Nigerian
political structure. It appears that there is a symbiotic relationship between
the educational culture and the socio-political culture of the Nigerian society
and this has grossly affected the education system. Nigerian educational system
over the years has been politicized. This calls for an attention, because no
country thrives socioeconomically and politically above the quality of her
education system. Using the method of critical analysis, this paper examines the concepts of politics, education and the
relationship between politics and education in Nigeria and therefore advocates for the curbing of the
menace of political corruption in the education system with a sense of urgency,
since education is fundamentally the most powerful and effective instrument of
socialization. The researchers, therefore, remind us that the security and
development of any nation depend greatly upon the product of her educational
system.
