ABSTRACT
One of the major desires of
every nation is to drastically reduce illiteracy especially in this modern
societies. This is because education is one of the vital indicies used in the
measurement and categorization of nations as developed or developing. The
Universal Basic Education (UBE) Scheme was planned to bring about positive
change in the educational system through quality, functional, and free
education, but this dream has met bottlenecks, barriers through high enrollment
with inadequate classroom space, lack of laboratories, dilapidated
infrastructure, employment of unqualified teachers, lack of fund, these have
among others hindered the good implementation of the programme. The article
assessed the effectiveness and implementation of UBE Policy for Education
Development in Nigeria by reviewing past research/literature to determine the
efficacy of UBE programme in student enrollment, financing strategies,
government and institutional involvement program, school facilities provision
and management, and teacher involvement. Conclusion was given based on the
literature reviewed. Lastly, the article added to the recommendation that, for
effective management and implementation of the UBE, there is need of full
participation and cooperation from the public, professionals, and the government.
The government should be open to ideas and allow the free role and
participation of educational specialist.
