The term nation implies a group of people who have certain degree of similarity amongst them owing to their religious, ethnic, linguistic or territorial identity. Nation-building however refers to the national reconstruction of a nation devastated by war. There is a consensus amongst social scientist that there are two important elements of nation-building, that are, national development and social reconstruction. And one of the ways of achieving them is through national education policies.
