Abstract: The importance of education cannot be overemphasized following the total liberation it brought to man. Nigeria’s education system is besieged by colossal problems ranging from inadequate funding, poor educational infrastructure, polluted learning environment, and recruitment of unqualified teaching personnel. This paper x-rayed challenges in the administration of primary education in Nigeria. The goals of primary education were highlighted. The paper identified major challenges confronting primary education administration in Nigeria including the wrong appointment of the head teacher, political instability, lack of supervision, etc. Going by the deplorable situation in primary education a reform is required to improve the performance of primary school administrators. Recommendations were made which suggested that the appointment of head teachers should be based on merit, not favoritism, internal and external supervision should also be encouraged to ensure rules and regulations are carried out as expected.
