The study was conducted to examine educational policy failure, its root cause, consequences and corrective measures in Nigeria: A glimpse from the management perspective. The study further elucidates that the educational policy failure has been attributed to the fact that inadequate funding, lack of qualified personnel, weak planning and implementation processes, political interference, and insufficient data, leading to consequences such as a decline in education quality, unemployment, and increased social inequality has been attributed to the persistent rise in poor educational policy formulation. The study also proffers some salient corrective measures, including strengthening policy implementation through research and collaboration, ensuring adequate and sustained funding, investing in teacher training, improving data collection and analysis, promoting political stability, and tailoring policies to meet local needs and contexts. Thus, the paper concludes that the Nigerian government should invest in teacher training to improve the quality of education in the country. This can be achieved by organising training and retraining programmes, workshops, and seminars for teachers across the country.
