I. INTRODUCTION
The education system in a nation defines the future of such a country, though this is second to politics. It is also regarded that when a nation gets education right, it gives, therefore, mean that the other sectors in no distance time will record a commensurate level of success. Though despite that fact that education is a measure means to advance the course of a nation, the leadership of that nation stands in the right position to determine which steps are deemed necessary to take to ensure that the various objectives are duly implemented (Odou, Anietie, & Ehule, 2019).
