The importance of primary education as the foundation upon which the entire Nigeria educational system hinges was highlighted in the paper. The managerial/organizational structure established to translate the objective of primary education into outcomes was also appraised. Arising from the appraisal, it was discovered that poor management of available resources (men, materials and money) was the reason why the organization and management of primary education in Nigeria is ineffective and inefficient culminating in prohibitive costs. It was concluded that primary education in Nigeria will become less expensive if its organization is restructured to become more innovative and adaptive. It was then recommended among others that teachers’ promotion and remuneration should be based on productivity and not just paper qualification and length of service.

Key words: Primary education, management, crises, organization and control
