- Historical Factor
History which in simple term is the study of the past for the sake reconstructing the present from experiences of the past for the purpose of creating a glorious future has so much to do with the education system prevalent in any country.
- Political Factor
It has come to stay and as a highly institutionalized practice that successive governments gaining control of political power continually structure the system of education of the country or states, possibly to achieve their political goals.
- Economic Factor
Whatever the type or system of education any society or country may adopt, it is capital intensive.
-Geographical/Environmental Factor
Another determinant of a country’s education system is the geographical or environmental factor. This includes the location of the country, the climatic conditions and the physical terrain of the environment. All these in essence dictate how the school buildings should be structured and located, the means of transportation determined (based on the terrain), age at which a child will start school so as to cope with the environment, decision on compulsory nature of school attendance is determined by the climate and country’s configuration.
-Language or Linguistic Factor
Language in the countries or societies educational system is an important factor that cannot be done away with. Since education involves communication and interaction, then language will definitely have role to play in the system of country’s education, particularly where there is diversity of people and language.
-Religious Factor
Evangelism is no longer limited to winning of souls, but spreading as wild fire in the aspect of seeking religious recognition and claiming supremacy or superiority of one religion over the others. This is seen in the establishment of educational institutions. Schools at all levels are now being established by the religious body as private proprietors.
-Ethnic Factor
Education is not spared of the play of ethnicity. Discrimination and regional/state identification officially exist as part of educational character of the Nigerian State. In the payment of tuition/school fees, delineation of indigenous students and non-indigenous students has brought about a wide differential in the fees paid by these two categories of students. Indigenes pay less and reduced fees, while the non-indigenes pay more, particularly in the state-owned tertiary institutions.
