FG commence implementation of UBE school programme
The Federal Government has commenced the implementation of the Universal Basic Education, UBE Effective School Programme in 111 designated schools across the country.
The Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission, Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, made this known in Abuja during a meeting with States Universal Basic Education Boards, SUBEBs Coordinating Directors, and Head Teachers of UBE Effective Schools.
He explained that effective schools were established as part of efforts to address the challenges of learning crises and out-of-school children, as well as provide Nigerian children at the basic level with the tools they need for better learning outcomes.
Dr. Bobboyi said effective schools would enhance the efficiency of UBE delivery by ensuring that minimum standards are attained and maintained in all educational programmes.
He said: “I am pleased to inform you that we have made significant strides in this direction, including the procurement and distribution of instructional materials to all the 111 Effective Schools, provision of tablets and installation of Satellite-Based learning equipment, training of head teachers and teachers in ICT pedagogy, among others.
“These efforts have proved to be very rewarding in laying a solid foundation for the commencement of the implementation of the ESP initiative.”
The UBEC boss urged head teachers to be committed to the programme as its success is dependent on their concerted efforts as main implementers of the initiative and as custodians of the curricula, and administrative authority at the school level.
