Education is critical for the long-term success of Nigeria. The country's ability to stay competitive in a knowledge-driven world is dependent on the development of the right skills at different levels of human endeavour. At the moment, the challenge of doing this is quite immense because Nigeria is decades behind in the provision of the ideal environment for the development of the required skills.The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, recognizing the need to move our nation forward, has unveiled a holistic Transformation Agenda with priorities that include:

§ Education§ Energy§ Health and § Job Creation

Education is central to the actualization of the Transformation Agenda because of its responsible roles in developing individual skills to drive other sectors of the economy. With an estimated population of over 160 million, Nigeria has an asset that can move the nation forward. However, this large population is at the moment considered more of a liability or time bomb and can only be truly an asset if nurtured through quality education.

The 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Development of the Education Sector, 2011-2015 signifies the readiness of the Federal Ministry of Education, under the leadership of Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa'i, OON to boldly tackle the challenges hampering the Nigerian Education System from playing its key national development role. It seeks not only to represent the Education Component of the Transformation Agenda, but also clearly articulate in the next four years, activities targeted towards addressing specific challenges. The Plan draws from the rich resource of available development-oriented documents that already exist in the sector. These include the Roadmap for the Nigerian Education Sector, the One Year Strategy for the Development of the Education Sector, May 2010-April 2011 and the Report of the Presidential Task Team on Education. In addition, view of individuals and groups within the Nigerian Education Sector are harnessed and embedded in the Plan. It is divided into six focal areas:

1. Strengthening the Institutional Management of Education2. Access and Equity 3. Standard and Quality Assurance4. Teacher Education and Development5. Technical and Vocational Education and Training6. Funding, Partnerships and Resource Mobilization

Access and Equity and Standard and Quality Assurance represent the areas of basic challenges in the Nigerian Education Sector. The other four focal areas need to be addressed in order to effectively provide solutions for these basic challenges.

The Plan, in line with the goals of the Transformation Agenda is setting the stage so that at the end of the Plan period, the Nigerian Education System is able to start to effectively support Nigeria's human

capacity needs and meet developmental objectives. This would mean the availability of — Highly-skilled world-class manpower and— World class institutions in Nigeria with

Ø world class infrastructure;Ø world class learning resources; andØ world class teachers.

The Plan identifies the responsibilities of departments, units, parastatals of the Federal Ministry of Education, State governments and other relevant stakeholders towards meeting the set goals. In addition, timeline for completion of activities over the four years are provided.

The Plan also defines strategies and initiatives that will strengthen the role that the Federal Ministry of Education is expected to play in maintaining standards through the establishment of effective National Systems. The outlines of the such National Systems are six. These are:

1. Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS)2.Teacher Development Needs Assessment system (TDNA)3.Monitoring Learning Achievement (MLA)4.Guidance and Counseling System (G & C)5.Quality Assurance (QA)6.School-Based Management Committees (SBMC)

It is indeed a plan that attempts to implement strategies that will make “education” to be more functional beyond “schooling” where emphasis is on certification. We recognize that Education is not synonymous with schooling. What really distinguishes education from schooling is its emphasis on development. The purpose of development of individuals is to enable them to contribute to the development of society. For this reason, the Plan lays emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education & Training as the “master key” to unlocking our future. Nigeria is uniquely positioned to be able to harness and distribute its resources for sustenance of its population and to those of others. This self-reliant disposition can be nurtured in the vast number of the unemployed youth through education and training. The curricula and syllabi ought to reflect this by providing the knowledge and skills that will position citizens to actively pursue careers such as mechanised agriculture, entrepreneurship, natural resource development and processing, export-based industry and outsourcing, all to be enabled on the platform of cutting edge technology.

In line with the President's Transformation Agenda this 4-Year Strategic Plan is going to pay significant attention to actual transformation of the schools and institutions for which the Federal Ministry of Education is responsible. We are selecting a minimum of eighteen (18) Unity Schools per year, three in each geo-political zone (a boy and a girl college and a science and technical college) for complete revamping and establishment to models worthy of emulation.

Under the FME/World Bank STEP-B Project we have selected nine (9) universities, one (1) polytechnic and two (2) specialised institutions as centres of excellence in different subject areas. They have each been granted between $4.0 million to $5.7 million. Under the same project, each Unity School received $250,000 for science and technology laboratories.

TETFund Special High Impact ProjectIn order to progressively upgrade facilities in our institutions of higher learning, the Federal Government assigned to TETFund the responsibility for progressive upgrading of programmes and improvement of teaching and leaning environment in select tertiary institutions across the six geopolitical zones with the aim of nurturing the emergence of centres of excellence.

Under Phase One in 2009, the sum of N3 billion each was allocated to six Universities (UI, UNN, ABU, Universities of Benin, Ilorin and Maiduguri). Three Polytechnics (Yaba, Kaduna and Akanu Ibiam) and three Colleges of Education (Kontagora, Gombe and Omoku) were the allocated N1 billion each.

The same amount was allocated under Phase Two in 2010 to six Universities (UNIJOS, BUK, ATBU, FUTO, OAU and UNIPORT), three Polytechnics (Lokoja, IMT Enugu and Mubi) and three Colleges of Education (Gumel, Afaha-Nsit and Adeyemi).

Under Phase Three in 2011, two Universities (UDU, Sokoto and NDU), two Polytechnics (Benue State Poly, Ugbokolo and Abia State Poly) and two Colleges of Education (Yobe State Poly Gasua and FCE Abeokuta) benefitted from the special funds.

In addition to all the above, N12.4 billion has been released to all Federal and State polytechnics for purchase laboratory equipment and facilities.

An institutional arrangement has been put in place to ensure successful implementation and enhancement of the activities identified in this Plan. Each of the focal area has a task team that works closely with implementing agencies, monitoring to ensure timely implementation of activities. The Task Teams are structured to report first to the Steering and Coordinating Committee that then reports to the Honourable Minister of Education. Stakeholders in the education sector are to be regularly briefed on the progress made and on any identified challenges encountered.

1.0 STRENGTHENING THE INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATION

1.1 National Policy on EducationAny meaningful review of the National Policy on Education (NPE) is necessitated by the need to address noticeable gaps in the content and provisions that emerged in the course of implementation

th thof the 4 edition (2004) and unpublished 5 edition (2008) of the NPE. There is also the need to maintain currency, relevance and to ensure that the policy document not only remains in tune with emerging trends in education, but also that it sets the framework for positioning Nigerian education to better serve the needs of the country.

The revision of the 5th (2008) edition of the National Policy on Education is informed by the need to reflect on Mr President's Transformation Agenda with Education as a key priority area. It is also necessary to effectively address the persistent gaps in education policy provisions and implementation in Nigeria. This is to avoid making policies related to emerging issues in an ad-hoc manner. There is the need to harmonize all these policies and incorporate them with the NPE.

The revision and updating of the NPE gives us the opportunity to revisit the Nigerian Philosophy of Education. There are three broad areas of great concern and attention: the needs of young people and adults, national socioeconomic needs and aspirations and the demands of curricula content.

In re-examining the philosophy, a number of clear issues that the NPE should address include that of:

a. Relevance: The foundations of our educational philosophy were established at the first national curriculum conference held over forty years ago. This document was drafted within the context of a young, fractured nation and reflected our desire for citizenship, reintegration and unity. Whilst the broad statements outlined in the report reflect noble goals, we must ask ourselves if the realities of those days are still relevant today. Has our value system changed? Are we different in our individual and societal aspirations? More importantly, can we, by adhering to the philosophy in its totality, achieve our desired future goals? Given that a philosophy of education is dynamic and inherently contestable, it is important to revisit the philosophy of education regularly, assessing the stated vision, goals and objectives of education to ensure continued relevance.

b. Philosophy Diffusion: A clear strategy is needed to translate the lofty aims of educational growth into policy imperatives and practice. A continuous internal and external monitoring is, however, needed to ensure that the nation remains on the track of the educational vision. For philosophy to effectively inform policy decisions, there must be greater specificity to aims and objectives, and a clear methodology for diffusing these to the level of curriculum design, education management and pedagogy. It is important to ensure that a) the philosophy is translated into policy and practice without losing its essence b) policy implementation can be evaluated using a sound theoretical and practical framework and c) the discourse on the relevance of the national curriculum is a continuous, deliberate and regular occurrence.

c. Foundational Education: Early childhood is the foundational phase of a child's moral, character and intellectual development. UNESCO states that the 'stimulation a child receives during this period determines to a large extent, the level of physical and cognitive development'. Although progress is being made in expanding pre-school access, less than 30% of children receive formal early childhood care and education and the vast majority that do, utilise private providers. This lack of attention to the early stages of a child development can be traced to the philosophy of education whereas a decision area, it was glaringly missing. The situation requires urgent review to erase the local and global evidence that may suggest a country devoid of a sound early childhood care and education policy and strategy.

d. Character Education: Over many years, the traditional Nigerian values of integrity, mutual respect, dignity of labour, hard work and professionalism have been eroded as citizens struggle to survive in a nation ridden by poverty and institutionalised corruption. Although at the first curriculum conference there were well-reasoned arguments for establishing character education as a priority of primary schooling, only vague allusions to individual and societal ethics were made in the final submission. This lack of entrenched values and character orientation within the curricula may be partly responsible for the current disregard to the afore-mentioned traditional values.

The revision and publication of the fifth (2008) edition of the National Policy on Education is overdue. This is one of the gaps we intend to fill in this 4-Year Strategic Plan.

1.2 Implementation the FME Communication Strategy Effective communication would help the Education Sector to thrive internally and externally. At the moment, the sector faces the challenge of inadequate communication between the FME, its parastatals and the stakeholders. The communication strategy of the FME seeks to enhance effective communication in the sector. Though a Committee had existed since 2009 to help in the implementation of the Strategy, it had not been able to provide a workplan towards getting this done. It is, therefore, necessary to take the issue of communication seriously through the implementation of the FME Communication Strategy.

1.3 Development of National SystemsA key function in FME's mandate is to define and maintain minimum standards across national levels. Instrumental to achieving this is the establishment of effective National Systems. There are six areas that will receive special attention in the 4-Year Strategic Plan in order to strengthen their impact on quality education delivery nationwide. These are:

i. Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS)ii. Teacher Development Needs Assessment (TDNA) systemiii. Monitoring Learning Achievement (MLA)iv. Guidance and Counseling (G & C) System v. Quality Assurance (QA) Systemvi. School Based Management Committee (SBMC)

1.3.1 Implementation NEMIS Policy on Decentralization. In December 2007, the National Council on Education (NCE) approved the Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS) policy. A guideline on its implementation was issued

Page 13: 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Development of the Education Sector

4 - Ye a r S t r a t e g y P l a n f o r t h e D e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e E d u c a t i o n S e c t o r 6

thereafter. The policy which decentralized the NEMIS process is meant to enhance efficiency in the collection, management and dissemination of education information in Nigeria. It provides for the collection and processing of data that are very closely linked to the source.

The NEMIS Unit of the Federal Ministry of Education in line with the decentralization process, is responsible for co-coordinating and integrating the activities of state, local, government and their agencies in the area of education data gathering. However, FME NEMIS on its part is faced with challenges of efficiency and effectiveness. As a result of this, it is, therefore, unable to carry out its basic role. To rectify this, a 2-Year Plan has been developed towards enhancing the operations of NEMIS across the country. This 2 – Year Plan will be executed within the Plan period.

1.3.2 Conducting a Teacher Development Needs Assessment (TDNA)The Honourable Minister of Education has been in the forefront of advocating the need for promoting standards and quality assurance throughout the Education system. The urgent need for Teacher Performance Development which is key to the quality of teaching and learning is also her great concern. There is the need for Teacher performance development programmes at federal/national level that are more tailored to the weak skills and competencies of many of our teachers.

To do this, it is imperative that not only the qualifications but also the skills and competencies of the teachers are known. Evidence from Teacher Development Needs Assessments (TDNA) undertaken to determine the skills and competencies of primary teachers in a few States indicate a very low educational base of the teachers. This evidence leads to a shift in our thinking regarding the way teachers should be developed and supported to raise pupil achievement levels.

We may assume that this assessment is a fair representation of the situation of teachers across the country. To further verify this assumption, there is the need to undertake a Teacher Development Needs Assessment (TDNA) in two or three States per geo-political zone. A Ministerial Committee will be set up to organise, manage and supervise the conduct of the Assessment that could produce a professional development framework for teachers.

1.3.3 Strengthening Mechanism for Monitoring Learning AchievementWhile there is a common desire by FME about government agencies and IDPs in the education sector to evaluate the Learning Achievement of children in Nigeria's Basic and Secondary Education Levels, the methodology and approaches to be used across agencies are yet to be synchronized.

In the case of Federal agencies, there is an apparent overlap in the understanding, remit and the conduct of Monitoring of Learning Achievement in Basic and Secondary Education between the Policy, Planning, Management and Research Department of the FME and the Universal Basic Education Commission.

The situation is as follows:

· The Universal Basic Education Commission, in line with the functions of the UBE Act, 2004, believes that it its right and duty to conduct assessments of pupils' learning in Basic

Page 14: 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Development of the Education Sector

4 - Ye a r S t r a t e g y P l a n f o r t h e D e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e E d u c a t i o n S e c t o r 7

Education as a means of monitoring the progressive implementation of UBE and its impact on pupils' achievement. In 2006, a type of Monitoring of Learning Achievement was carried out for Primary 6, JS1 and JS2 but its report was published until 2009. In June 2011, a “National Assessment of Learning Achievement in Basic Education” was carried out for Primaries 4, 5, 6 and JS1 pupils in English Language, Mathematicss and Life Skills, using objective and essay questions. It is expected that a report will not be ready before mid-2012

· The Department of Policy, Planning, Management and Research, in line with its remit within the Federal Ministry, believes it has the right/duty to conduct assessment of pupils' learning across primary and secondary education nationwide. Following years of planning, an exercise was to be conducted in August 2011 across schools in states. This was to be done during the school holidays for most pupils and teachers but had to be postponed to early September 2011. The exercise was to conduct tests for Primary 4 and 6 pupils in Mathematics, English Language and Lifeskills, using both objective and essay type of tests.The obvious lack of clarity, duplication and overlap among Federal agencies would have to be properly addressed and resolved once and for all at the Ministerial level. For example:

· UBEC may have to be given the remit to conduct Monitoring of Learning Achievement at Primary and Junior Secondary levels while the Ministry is given the remit for Senior Secondary.

· UBEC may be given the responsibility to conduct the Monitoring of Learning Achievement at Primary and Secondary level with the associated responsibility of costs, while drawing on the expertise available in the Ministry in their leadership team

There is the need to create a Ministerial Committee/Technical Working Group on MLA with specific ToRs and a timeframe to deliver an improved national MLA system which is best for the education sector and that is sustainable.

There are different schools of thought as to the methodology/approach to MLA to use. It is important that different views/schools of thought be harmonized by an independent minded Ministerial Committee/Technical working group on MLA for emergence of methodology/approach relevant to the Nigerian context. This we feel can produce practicable and sustainable solutions that can yield useful results and impact positively on the Nigerian education decision-making process

1.3.4 Development of Effective Guidance and Counselling System for Schools Nigerian public schools generally lack co-ordinated and effective system of guidance and Counselling of students. As a result of this, students pass through the system without the necessary guidance that might enhance their academic, personal and professional development. The result of this is the large number of school leavers going into higher education without the necessary preparation on how to approach future challenges.

It is, therefore, necessary that steps are taken to urgently integrate Guidance and Counselling Services into public education sector across levels. The Honourable Minister of Education, in recognition of this, has set up a committee to start the process of integrating Guidance and Counselling into all schools.

1.3.5 Strengthen Quality Assurance System for EducationIn recent years, there has been a considerable international interest in establishing ways of monitoring the quality of education in schools. Much of this has focused on the need to shift emphasis of school inspection away from physical enumeration of school facilities to assessment of teaching and learning processes. This process combines critical self-assessment with independent external assessment. Quality Assurance is generally more cooperative and less inquisitorial than traditional ways of inspecting schools. It is developed as a reaction to the failure of school inspection systems to assessment of what actually goes on in the classroom and its relation to student learning.

The main objective of school inspections are to: ensure that learning takes place in schools; ensure that the required standards are being maintained; make sure schools are accountable to their proprietors (in the case of public schools, the government) and their customers (parents and students); provide guidance on how schools can improve; and build up a picture of how well schools are performing for informed policy decisions. This list could be expanded. Judged against any of the objectives on the list, school inspection in Nigeria would be found wanting.

There is still general lack of clarity of purpose for undertaking school inspection in Nigeria. The considerable amount of work done by the Federal Ministry of Education and others to establish the principles on which quality assurance should operate has really not helped matters. The National Council on Education has established a policy on Quality Assurance (2009) and issued a handbook and QA instrument, which sets out what school inspections should entail and how they should be conducted.

Much attention has been paid to the institutional arrangements for Quality Assurance, partly because these have been so confused, with a large number of different bodies at Federal, State and Local Government whose remits include inspection or supervision of schools. The efforts of these various bodies have been uncoordinated resulting in some schools being over-inspected and others either under-inspected or completely ignored. Funding constraints have always limited the number of schools that could be visited, but poor management of the available funds has been a greater challenge. Results of school visits have been poorly recorded. There is no body of information that can be used to assess school performance as the basis for determining improvement.

The confusion over organisational roles and responsibilities is compounded by the federal structure of the country. The division of responsibilities between levels of government is not so clear cut. For basic education, the onus of responsibility mostly lie with the States and this raises questions of the appropriate role for federal institutions. When basic education schools are “owned” by states and local government, Federal institutions have struggled to find a role for themselves. Since 1985, the quality of standards in education has been the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Education. This has been executed through the Federal Inspectorate Service (FIS). However, the UBE Act of 2004, charges UBEC with a quality assurance role.

The proposed legislation to set up a National Educational Quality Assurance Agency (NEAQA) might have clarified this contradiction but has raised another key issue of the division of responsibilities

Page 16: 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Development of the Education Sector

4 - Ye a r S t r a t e g y P l a n f o r t h e D e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e E d u c a t i o n S e c t o r 9

between federal and state levels of government. The work done in preparation for the submission of the NEAQA legislation provides useful reference material for the Committee in this respect. Although the proposal to set up an independent QA body has now been shelved, the background documentation may still be useful.

To compound the uncertainty over institutional jurisdiction, there have been recurrent problems of low capacity, with inspectorate services traditionally regarded as a dumping ground for unwanted staff. Postings to the inspectorate are perceived as “punishment” or a 'waiting room' for retirees.

The proposed objectives of the Ministerial Committee include the need to:

· clarify the purpose of Quality Assurance and to establish a direction and methodology for a national approach to QA;

· propose a rationalisation of institutional roles and responsibilities for QA at the appropriate levels of government; and

· produce a clear step by step implementation plan for establishing a rational QA system for the education sector over the next four years.

1.3.5 Improving the Capacity of School-Based Management Committees In a bid to ensure the participation of local communities in the running of the affairs of schools, the FME/UBEC directed all State Universal Education Boards (SUBEB) to establish functional School Based Management Committees (SBMCs) in all public schools. Within the period under review, the stakeholders in education developed guidelines for maintaining uniformity in the structure and administration of the SBMCs. Thus, the National Council on Education (NCE) has approved that every primary and secondary School in Nigeria should have SBMCs. The existence of functional SBMCs in most schools has provided further impetus for enhancing transparency, accountability and best practices in the school administration at the grassroots level.

However, this initiative is devoid of any policy guideline. It is also not functional in about 60% of the Nigerian Public primary schools. The activities of most of the SBMCs need to be streamlined for proper coordination. From 2010, concerted effort has been made by UBEC in collaboration with ESSPIN, to make SBMCs more functional through special training and mentoring programmes involving the SBMC members, Civil Society Organisations and the relevant government agencies such as SUBEBs.

2.0 ACCESS AND EQUITY

2.1 IntroductionThe constant population increase in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, currently projected to be over 160 million, has serious consequences and challenges for the nation's educational sector. This affects access to education for all, especially for the young, the vulnerable and children with special needs.

In recognition of the importance of education as a veritable tool for national development, a fundamental right of all school-age children, avenue for acquisition of relevant skills and competences for the full development of their potentials, government policies have been directed towards adequate educational opportunities. This is reflected in the high level commitment and concern to the course of the Universal Basic Education, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Vision 20:2020, through the instrumentality of education. Unfortunately, these efforts and commitments have suffered setbacks and failed to yield the desired results. The prevailing socio-economic, cultural, political and institutional hurdles must have indeed hindered considerable access to education from the early childhood care to the tertiary level.

2.1 Basic Education In spite of the pronouncements by the Federal Government to incorporate Early Child Care Development Education (ECCDE) into primary school system, only 39% of primary schools have ECCDE section thereby excluding other Nigerian children the opportunity for a head start in life. Out of the expected enrolment figure of 22 million in ECCDE, only 2.02 million are currently enrolled, thus excluding 19.98 million from school. Coupled with this is the non-availability of copies of the approved (ECCDE) Curriculum and other documents already developed in collaboration with UNICEF. There is also lack of professionally-trained specialist ECCDE teachers, leaving the most important and critical period of development in the hands of uninformed and unqualified personnel.

The situation is not anything different at the basic education level where one out of three children of school age is out of school. It is estimated that there are about 10.1 million children are out of school at this level presently, with a high prevalence of excluded girls in the northern part of Nigeria and boys in the south-eastern part.

In order to address this anomaly, a national campaign on access to the girl-child education has been launched in the North-East and plans are on the way to do the same thing for the boy–child education in the South-East. The trickle-down effect of the gains for the launching at the national level to state and grass root levels is yet to take place.

There is also the perennial challenge of effective integration of the vulnerable, the poor and the totally excluded into the Nigerian education mainstream. The totally excluded groups such as the almajiri, children with special needs, the nomadic, the migrant fisher-folks and the adult illiterate population whose contributions to national socio-economic development remains untapped, are part of our great concern.

Page 29: 4-Year Strategic Plan for the Development of the Education Sector

Presently, there is a lack of Sector Plans at the state education levels. This is occasioned by a weak policy-backing to the use of the Plans which constitutes a critical problem that tends to negatively impact on the continuity of projects and invariably on the end users.

Extant evidence suggests that the Organised Private Sector (OPS), Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society (CO), Faith-Based Organisations (FBO), among others, are contributing their own input to access to education. In Lagos state, for example, private enrolment at the early childhood and basic education levels has soared to over 50% of total enrolment. The poor monitoring of private schools across the country poses the risk of abuse by profiteering private providers. It is, therefore, important to revisit the policy on private education provision and review the nature of state collaboration with these non-state providers to strengthen and streamline educational provision across the country

2.3 Tertiary Education The problem of access and equity also extends to the tertiary level. This is as a result of their extremely low carrying capacity due to inadequate infrastructural provisions. The student intake is limited to only about 10% of the prospective students who apply for admission. In addition the existing alternative routes to higher education, particularly vocational and technical education are not embraced because they are considered unpopular. The challenges and under-development experienced in the use of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in Nigeria remain an issue that affects access to higher education by distance learning.

Lack of access to schools at all levels, therefore, remains a critical issue of concern that causes distortions and disparities in the nation. This challenge has to be surmounted to achieve success in actualizing the Transformation Agenda, Millennium Development Goals and Vision 20:2020.

Therefore, it is imperative that the following turn-around strategies, specific activities, achievable deliverables and time lines be implemented in order to give the future generations of Nigerian children the deserved access to quality education.

3.0 STANDARD AND QUALITY ASSURANCEQuality Assurance is a major challenge of Nigeria's education system. A critical look at the educational institutions reveals low standard and quality of schools and their products. Infrastructural decay, obsolete facilities, poor teacher quality, mass failure in public examinations, cultism, examination malpractice and maladministration, are indicators of the poor state of education in Nigeria. Most primary and secondary schools lack the essential infrastructure to enable them function. They lack adequate support services that enhance teaching and learning. For meaningful national development, academic excellence should be complemented with sound character, emotional stability, good health and respect for fellow citizens.

The situation in our schools is further compounded by weak and inadequate quality assurance mechanisms. The result is ineffective school supervision and inspection by the Federal, the State and Local government operatives. For example, at the Federal level, only 4.9% of primary and 4.7% of Secondary Schools were inspected by the Federal Inspectorate Service in 2004 and 2005. The Federal Ministry of Education (FME) has produced and distributed Quality Assurance (QA) Handbooks and Instruments to all States, the Federal Capital Territory inclusive and trained teachers in the use of such materials. A lot still need to be done to improve the capacity of school inspectors and supervisors. The Inspectorate Services (at the three tiers of government) also need to deliver better school supervision and monitoring results for remarkable educational growth.

At the tertiary level, the concern is related to instability of the academic calendar, infrastructural decay and obsolescence of equipment among others. All these culminate in the lowering of the quality of graduates from tertiary institutions. In addition, existing tertiary education curricula are out-dated and, therefore, largely irrelevant to our national needs and global competitive demands.

Other challenges to education quality include:

· non professionalization of Education Quality Assurance practice;

· absence of a comprehensive Standard and Quality Assurance Standards Policy document;

· lack of synergy among relevant stakeholders in Quality Assurance, resulting in institutional constraints and role conflict ;

· weak support structure for Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES);

· low learning outcomes in literacy, numeracy and life skills;

· inadequate deployment of ICT for teaching and learning purposes;

· inadequate capacity of educational institutions to undertake internal/comparative quality assessment; and

· Inadequate mechanisms for identifying learners with special needs and the gifted children.

Educational projects and programmes in the next four years, will have to address these key challenges in order to improve education quality and bring about the desired transformation of

Nigeria. The Turn Around Strategies proposed for the Focal Area of Standard and Quality Assurance are clustered around five critical education issues, namely:

i policy coordination;ii educational input (infrastructure, instructional materials, ICT, etc.);iii process issues arising from implementation of educational programmes and services;iv benchmarking and setting of educational standards; and v assessment, monitoring, and evaluation issues.

Specific actions to perform in order to address these challenges include:· reviewing and strengthening legal framework for educational institutions and regulatory

agencies· undertaking capacity building of school inspectors and supervisors;· professionalization of education standard and quality assurance practice; · strengthening partnerships/collaboration among relevant stakeholders;· establish a Quality Assurance Management Information System that links with NEMIS;· reviewing and enriching the existing school curricular;· development of instructional materials (such as textbooks, syllabi, etc);· establishment of a standardized assessment system for monitoring and reporting learning

achievement;· provision and monitoring of Direct Teaching and Laboratory Cost Grant (DTLC);· provision and monitoring of Teaching and Research Equipment Grant;· establishing and equipping of Guidance and Counseling Units in all schools;· provision of ICT infrastructure and equipment in all schools;· introduction of e-learning to expand access to quality education;· implementation of the provisions of the National Information Technology Education

Framework; and· rehabilitation and development of infrastructural facilities across sectors of education.

4.0 TEACHER EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT

4.1 Introduction

The quality of any educational system is determined by the quality of the teaching-learning process. Teachers interpret and communicate the curriculum to learners. They ensure the efficient and effective use the country's investment in education, act as role models to the learners and transmit societal values from generation to generation. Thus, the education and development of the teacher is paramount to the country. The educational system is only as good as the quality of its teachers.

The poor quality of educational outcomes recorded in recent years is attributable to the poor quality of teachers, among others. The challenges of poor teacher quality become more pronounced in the following of teacher education development areas:

i. pre-Service teacher education;ii. orientation and induction of new teachers;iii. continuing professional development for teachers;iv. school leadership recruitment, appointment and training;v. framework for teaching standards; andvi. incentives to attract and retain quality teachers.

4.2 Initial Teacher Education The initial teacher education component is characterised by poor training at various educational levels. Teachers mostly teach using obsolete theory-based curriculum and limited range of instructional methods and materials. Integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), understanding of how the brain works and engaging diverse learners in different classroom situations are rarely taught. Where this takes place, it is in a very rudimentary fashion. The result is that of limited repertoire of skills, worsened by the low quality of the curriculum. Another situation that exacerbated all the issues raised above is the poor quality of student intake most of whom take to teacher education as a last resort and will readily abandon it as soon as better opportunities are available.

The quality of the lecturers is, to a large extent poor. Most of them lack adequate research-based qualifications. They are also faced with the problem of inadequate teaching resources, access to modern library and information resources and exposure to other educational systems. The result of all these, is that most teachers' skills are too basic and limited to be able to communicate the curriculum effectively.

The society is therefore faced with large number of teachers unable to manage the classroom of the st21 century. This state of affairs is not only antithetical to growth and development; it is also

counterproductive.

4.3 Orientation and Induction of New TeachersFormal orientation of new teachers is virtually non-existent in the country. New graduates are employed and deployed to classrooms without adequate preparation and induction. For new teachers to be effective, they must undergo proper orientation, induction, mentoring, and support programmes in the classroom.

4.4 Continuing Professional Development for TeachersWhere continuing professional development exists, it is often of very poor. In addition to poor quality, there are also not enough channels for effective teacher professional development. Low level ICT integration makes on-line training almost impossible. There are also no exchange programmes for sharing best practices. Many teachers have been teaching for years without opportunities to improve their competences through continuous professional development. One of the major issues affecting teacher professional development is the mismatch between teaching qualifications and teacher skills and competences. Post initial training professional development should primarily update knowledge and skills and not focused entirely on acquisition of certificates. However, in many instances teachers have had to go back to the formal tertiary institutions for higher qualification programmes from the same institutions that did not prepare them adequately well during the initial teacher training programme.

4.5 School Leadership Recruitment, Appointment and TrainingSchool leadership appointment is often subjective and not dependent on clear cut performance indices. The ability of school administrators to function effectively is also reduced due to inadequate funding, faulty teacher recruitment and indiscipline. Furthermore, the framework for head teacher expectations is not implemented by authorities.

4.6 Recruitment and Retention of Good TeachersLow public esteem and remuneration have adversely affected the recruitment and retention of quality teachers. As a result, availability of quality teachers in Nigeria is extremely low especially in subjects such as Mathematics, the Sciences and Languages

Assessment for career advancement of teachers is unsatisfactory mainly because promotions are based on years of service rather than quality of output. This brings about laziness, lack of creativity and commitment and general inefficiency in the system. The impact of the low remuneration and delayed salary payment, include high attrition rate, low morale and motivation to teach, endless struggle to make ends meet; sometimes toiling as 'okada' riders. Such teachers can neither inspire confidence nor command respect of those they teach. Consequently, teachers are no longer regarded as role models. The cumulative effects of poor teaching-learning conditions and teaching incentives are low performance and poor teacher retention rate. Teachers work in very poor physical environments with limited professional support and tools. They also contend with overcrowded classrooms of an average teacher:student ratio as high as 1:75 compared to the UNESCO recommended 1:35. To address the challenge of education in Nigeria, professional development and incentives for teachers is the most important action that must be taken to ensure instructional quality. This is expected to translate to higher student achievement and overall educational growth.

5.0 TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING (TVET)

5.1 Introduction

The ability of Nigeria to realize the vision of becoming one of the twenty largest economies in the world by the year 2020 is largely dependent on the capacity to transform its youth into highly skilled and competent citizens capable of competing globally. A major part of the responsibility for preparing such a workforce rests on the nation's education sector. It is for this reason that commitment to TVET must be strengthened. To be competitive in the current global economy, Nigeria needs to develop the appropriate knowledge and skill sets.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is currently not given the attention it deserves in Nigeria. If well developed, TVET could be an avenue for addressing a number of social and economic problems facing the country. For example, the large number of out of school children, unemployed youths and adults with limited or no skills is an indicator of underdeveloped TVET.

Globally, it is estimated that about eighty per cent (80%) of the jobs undertaken by people require technical and vocational skills. Labour supply in Nigeria is characterized by an abundance of unemployed and under employed workers, mostly in the agriculture and informal sectors. Low productivity serious shortage of skilled workers and technicians are rampant in the industrial and service sectors. Over sixty per cent (60%) of the labour force is classified as unskilled and untrained.

5.2 Challenges Faced by the Technical, Vocational Education and Training The shortage of appropriately skilled labour across many industries is a big challenge to Nigeria's economic growth and future development. Government policy in the past had not accorded TVET its rightful place within the education sub-sector of the country. This can be seen in the placement of ceiling on career progression of polytechnic staff and graduates. The relative low level funding of the programmes, despite the expensive nature of TVET, and poor conditions of service for staff among others are strong barriers to the growth of the sector.

TVET in Nigeria is facing many challenges some of which are low enrolment, infrastructural decay, inadequate equipment and training materials. Other challenges are:

i. lack of standardisation and development of non-formal technical and vocational education and training;

ii. dearth of qualified and competent teachers; iii. low remuneration for skilled vocational workers; iv. low societal estimation of technical and vocational education and training; v. poor private sector participation in the implementation of TVET programmes;vi. low level of entrepreneurship and ICT literacy and utilization;vii. poor learning outcomes due to poor learning environment;viii. use of outdated curriculum, which results in a mismatch between what is taught and the

needs of the labour market; andix. poor management of funds

As a result, there is overwhelming preference for general secondary education. For example, in 2009, of the 1.5 million candidates that applied for admission into higher institutions in Nigeria, only 300,000 chose polytechnics and colleges of education as first choice.

6.0 FUNDING, PARTNERSHIPS, RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND UTILIZATION

6.1 IntroductionCapital is the life blood of every enterprise and the Nigerian educational system is not an exception. The sources of funding education in Nigeria broadly include government, private sector, non-government organisations, International Development Partners and faith-based organisations. All tiers of government in Nigeria are involved in the funding of education. Constitutionally, local government authorities are responsible for funding primary education, while the states fund secondary education with, the exception of the Federal Unity Colleges, which are owned by the Federal Government. Tertiary institutions are funded by their proprietors including the federal, state and private owners

For the past years, the education budget, as a proportion of total Federal spending, is approximately less than 10%. Even when state and local governments' spending is included (an estimated 12% of total government expenditure), government spending across all tiers fall, lies far below the UNESCO guideline of 26%.

6.2 Resource Mobilization and UtilizationEven at an estimated 12% of government expenditure, there is a perceived gap between the 'apparent budget' and 'real budget'. The apparent budget is that which is published and publicised, while the real budget is effectively cash-backed. and released for projects/programme implementation.

There has been a progressive lowering of the real budget in relation to the apparent budget. What is timely released is such a mismatch with what is budgeted and required. Implementation is compromised as a result of this mismatch.

There is an on-going challenge as regards some states accessing the UBEC Intervention Fund. All these are impediments towards Nigeria's ability to achieve the Education For All (EFA) in 2015. Recurrent expenditure approximated to be 70% is the main consumer of education budgets at the Federal level. This leaves barely 30% for capital investment projects such as classrooms, laboratories, sporting facilities, ICT facilities, well-equipped technical and vocational centres principal staff accommodation.

6.3 Project Monitoring and Impact Assessment

Even where funds are released for capital and non-capital projects, supervision and quality assurance procedures are usually weak. Expected periodic project reviews and financial monitoring are rarely undertaken. If done at all, they are hurriedly executed.

6.4 PartnershipsThe resources required to transform Nigeria's education sector cannot be provided by government alone. Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and well-coordinated activities of the International

Development Partners (IDPs) are critical to strategic investment in education. However, poor planning, management and the necessary enabling environment for private sector participation are generally lacking. There is the need for the FME to partner and collaborate with the National Planning Commission (NPC) in the coordination of the interventions programmes of IDPs as far as the education sector is concerned.

Potential private sector partners who would like to enter into Private Finance Initiative (PFI) activities with the education sector require concrete assurances on the part of government. Greater private sector participation in the education sector would be further encouraged through streamlining the bureaucratic process.

The present Strategic Plan is interested in exploring new ways of expanding education revenue base, creating conducive environment for greater private sector participation in education funding, accessing intervention funds, and partnering with international donors for greater educational funding opportunities.
