Explain some of the reasons why developing countries have not realized a greater positive development impact from their higher education programs. In this context, why should the development of a solid elementary education system take precedence over an expansion of the university system in developing countries? Give specific country examples

Specific country (Nigeria)

(1) High level of corruption in the Educational sector

(2) Inadequate funding

(3) Inconsistent public policy.

Why should solid elementary System take precedence over expansion of University.

(A) To reduce the level of illiteracy and out of school children.

(B) To build a good foundation for the younger Population.

Explanation:

Developing countries are countries that have not yet achieved their full potential, they are improving but still lack in several areas like Education, Infrastructures, funding, Unemployment etc

Nigeria is judged by the World bank, Transparency international as one of the most corrupt countries of the world this is affecting the utilisation of funds for education making it difficult to execute effective development projects in the Educational sector, in Nigeria successive Governments change education policies making it extremely difficult to achieve

greater positive development impact from their higher education programs.

Instead of expansion of the University System it is better to invest in the elementary school level to ensure that the level of illiteracy and out of school children is reduced or eliminated and to build a better future for the younger kids and Population.
