ABSTRACT: Administrators have accepted education as a bridge to a better life. It is not yet nirvana for the Nigerian nation despite a century of attempts to refocus education to its traditional purposes. The sight of expatriates managing construction sites for mundane structures as culverts is an irksome common occurrence. Yet the local extant literature is mute on the situation. This paper empirically though perfunctorily proffers an advocacy for management options towards enhancing understanding as the driver to the achievement of schools attendance purposes; as has been settled elsewhere on the globe. This, it is hoped, would reawaken scholarly interests on achieving schooling purpose. The commentary method of analysis was employed and it surmised that constant tinkering with educational policies to accommodate political agenda as the bane of accurate educational purpose in Nigeria. It is a major tool of abridging the present with a future. It is therefore recommended for a fresher and narrower refocusing of educational policies and objectives of educational administrators.
Keywords: Management, Schooling purpose, Understanding, Nigeria.
