FACTORS INHIBITING UNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATION (UBE) POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN NIGERIA FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
ABSTRACT
The study examined Factors Inhibiting Universal Basic Education (UBE) Policy Implementation in Nigeria: Federal and State Governments’ Intervention. The goal of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) is to ensure unfettered admission to formal basic education, provision of free universal basic education for every Nigerian child and reducing the incidence of “drop-out” from the formal school system through improved relevance, quality and efficiency. The study revealed that factors inhibiting the programme include; Lack of funding of the programme by the government and other agencies, Lapses and anomalies in the Utilization of the Intervention Funds, incompetent to deliver effective and efficient teaching, Lack of infrastructural and instructional materials in schools, Inadequacy of statistical data, Poor supervision and monitoring of the UBE schools and inadequacy of statutory allocation to meet the needs of the UBA programme. The study recommended that Federal and State governments must take the following intervention measures; Infrastructural facilities and instructional materials like class rooms, furniture, libraries, administrative block, etc that facilitate and promote teaching and learning should be provided adequately in schools, Government should employ the right teachers for the job. The era of settling political associates with teaching jobs should be eschewed. Such teachers must be trained and retrained for the purpose of the job through frequent seminars, workshops and professional contacts with other educators, the government and other agencies responsible for providing fund for the programme should live up to date and there should be regular payment of teachers’ salaries and proper motivation of teachers through loans, improved condition of services, etc to increase inputs to the success of the UBE programme in the country.
