Recession! Massive withdrawal of pupils hit private schools!

The down turn in Nigeria's economy has taken a toll on the Country's Institutions of learning!
So many parents are fast withdrawing their children from private schools to public schools which they consider 'more affordable'.Thus,filled classrooms have become sparse!
The fees have gone out of the reach of the common man,some believe.
Does this send a good signal to our Country?
Should Education have an alternative?
Education should be seen as a necessity and not a luxury.
Who do we blame for this recession?
