dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the study was to analyze the conceptions of equality of educational opportunity among various extents to which the various conceptions, based on a paradigm - formal-legal, process, procedural and achievement equalities - were reflected in the Universal Primary Education System of Irewole Local Government Area, was determined. Data were collected using investigator-designed questionnaires: Educational Groups Questionnaire (EGQ) and Equality of Access Questionnaire (EAQ). Educational Groups Questionnaire was used to collect data from three pre-determined educational groups on their conceptions of equality of opportunity. Equality of Access Questionnaire was used tc collect data from 1,200 students on their equality of access to co-curricular activities. Four hypotheses were tested using one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and it was established that: the pre-determined educational groups do not favour the formal-legal equality of opportunity, they favour procedural and achievement equalities, and see mild-achievement equality as the most relevant to the UPE system. Thus, the conceptions of equality of opportunity among the educational groups fit into the philosophical positions: wherein mild-achievement equality is held in the highest esteem, followed by procedural, process and formal-legal equalities respectively. Besides, government's implementation of the concept does not totally fit into the philosophical positions. Recommendations based on the findings are that the government should intensify its implementation of mild-achievement equality, in order to agree with the philosophical positions. In addition, the government should make better provision for pupils' participation in curricular activitiesen_US
