CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
The Universal Basic Education programme which was
launched in September, 1999, signalled the commencement of a “carefully
though-out programme of restoration” in the educational sector. It’s
fundamental goal is to universalize access to basic education, engender a
conducive learining environment and eradicate illiteracy in Nigeria within the
shortest possible time. Even though the Federal Government gives the guidelines
and policy direction in education, basic education is on the concurrent
legislative list in which all tiers of government share responsibility. There
is also statutory provision towards decentralization and delegation of the
management of the educational system to grassroots communities. Thus,
responsibility for the management of primary and secondary schools is too
devolved to the local and state government respectively.
Universal Basic Education is not new to the
Nigerian Educational scene. It has been on for a long time. The only point of
departure is the new resolve by government to correct existing anomalies and
fill-up capacity gaps so that the system can be revitalized. In other words, we
need to expand the existing facilities and other necessary inputs, recruit and
train more teachers, evolve realistic but aggressive enrolment derive and the
existing institutional capacities and modernize their practices in the light of
contemporary development (New Nigeria, March 28, 2000).
Basic Education is the foundation for sustainable
lifelong learning; it provides reading, writing and numeracy skills. It
comprises a wide variety of formal and non-formal educational activities and
programmes designted to enable learners acquire funtional literacy. In the
Nigerian context, basic education includes Primary Junior Secondary and
normadic education as well as adult literacy. Nigeria is a signatory to the
1990 Jointiem Declaration of Education for All (EFA) by the year 2000 and also
a member of the Group of E-9 nations
committed to the total eradiction of illiteracy, inspite of this, the nation’s
literacy rate to 52%. Education statistics for 1996 shows that only 14.1million
childeren are enrolled in primary schools out of the 21 million children of
school going age. The completion rate was 64% while the rate of transition to
Junior Secondary school was 43.5%. there is evidence that these vital literacy
indicators have not improved.
Universal Basic Education in Nigeria can be said
to have both international and National antecedents. More importantly the term
basic education it self has no universal acceptable definition as well as its
particular, that is, national regional and local applications.
The international antecedents of Universal Basic
Education can be traced to the Universal Basic Education can be traced to the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) which embodies the right of every
citizen to education and with strong emphasis on compulsory and free access to
basic education. Every member state of the United Nations (and this include
Nigeria) is a signatory to this Declaration.
Nigeria has, since Independent, given source
attention to basic education in various forms. The free primary education
programme in the Old Western programme in Nigeria is well documented, so also
are its adaptation in various parts of Nigeria before the advent of military
rule. Universal Primary Education (UPE), initially (by the same Gen. Olusegun
Obasanjo) in 1975-76, did generate a great deal of literature and today’s
Univeral Basic Education is still often seen from the perspective of failed
Universal Primary Education (UPE).
