Abstract: Current challenges facing educational systems worldwide have urged scholars to study the issues involved in the educational system. Economics of education is mainly concerned with economic impacts of educational stages. However, research has highlighted the role of social capital and how it is associated to education, as not only does education contribute to social capital but the presence and maintenance of social capital, in turn, promotes education. Focusing on the relationship between social capital and education, the current research, therefore, aims to describe and evaluate social capital and its components and functions, and to introduce the leading theorists in the field. The study then suggests that through building interactions within family and the society, individuals are able to enhance social capital in children’s education. As such, education and factors influencing it have a major role to play in establishing and promoting social capital in the society. Keywords : social capital, social structure, educational system

Abstract: Education as an investment constitutes the largest enterprise in Nigeria. It is the principal instrument for academic progress, social mobilization, political survival and effective national development of any country. Investment in education is a necessary condition for promotion of economic growth and national development.

In the school system, part of the integral pre-requisites to be put in place towards the actualization of the educational goal and objectives requires adequate provision of resources, maximum utilization and appropriate management of education resources to avoid wastages and improve the quality of the teaching - learning process in the academic environment.
