Politics and education constitute the signpost to developing an institutional literate citizenry for the sustainability and improvement of society. However, the climax that pervades our society is not conducive to promoting institutional development (Amadioha, 2008). Politics is one of the integral parts of developing and manipulating individual psychological needs and the society at large; it has been in a long-term system of formalizing any constitutional beliefs about the right of the citizens. Our time's economic, educational and social conditions have profoundly affected it. As education is one of the major factors that develop society, education has also been manipulated by politics, especially under the military regime. Therefore this paper intended to examine the politics of education under the military regime, the methodology used in this was a quantitative method using correlation analysis, and a questionnaire was used to find out the politics of education under the military regime in Nigeria. The population of the study was retired managers of the school; they were selected because they had the best experience; a sample of 20 out of them was purposely selected to participate.
