Abstract: The intent of this dissertation was to provide a broad conceptual framework of curriculum for use in the higher education system of Bendel State, Nigeria. The framework is a direct consequence of the need which the author identifies for bridging the gap that exists between the secondary school and university levels in the state's educational system. Based on analyses and considerations of the goals of and resources in the state, the conclusion was reached that mass higher education is the only means for transforming the state from rural to modern, technological society. The methodology used included collection of information and materials about Bendel state from primary sources and library research on education and society leading to convergent views, opinions, and theories that emphasize education as a vital means for individual and national development. The thrust of the framework is on the education of the individual with necessary competencies for positive action toward changing his society for personal and societal benefits.
