Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the context for education law and policy making in Nigeria and its implementation on youth education. The key focus is on the laws guiding educational policy, along with a case study of the university admission policy and its impact on youth education. The work was first published in the 2018 Yearbook of Education Law in Ohio. The author of this work has always had passion for the Nigerian youth education and she wishes to seek a solution to support and boost education for the youths in Nigeria, youth education seen as currently declining due to the rigor of JAMB admission. A qualitative and quantitative approach to research was employed to seek the opinions of the educators and few of the youths affected in the system. The qualitative approach provided an insight on the history of the British and American educational policies introduced in Africa, which did not meet the needs and expectations of local Nigerian communities. As such, the government of Nigeria opted to develop its own national policy as the way forward to meet the educational needs of indigenous Nigerians. Employing both the quantitative and qualitative approach enabled the analysis and conclusion that the current implementation of policies to streamline the education system in Nigeria leaves room for improvement. The fact that many Nigerian young people leave the country to study abroad reveals a high demand for education, such that the government needs to devise solutions to make university education more reachable by the youths.
