PREFACE There are activities that command more interest, devotion and enthusiasm than others in the education

system. So it seems to be with Quality Assurance. This is so because Quality Assurance is seen as an

integral process that produces transformations and improvement in a system. It is a planned and

systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of programmes, projects, services that

bring about acceptable standards that are maintained and enhanced through human and material

resources. In relation to education, it is all about the quality of work of a school and its impact on the

learner, from the input stage, through processes to the output stage.

Quality dimension has become imperative in the provision of basic education and has gained

prominence; hence, the need for regular conducts of quality assurance in the basic education

institutions. To this end, the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) through the Department of

Quality Assurance conducted the fifth edition of Quality Assurance in Basic Education across the country

from 23rd February to 4th March, 2014. This quality assurance mechanism helps in improving access,

quality and ensuring equity in the provision of basic education. It also points out areas of strengths that

need sustenance and those that require improvement.

The reporting of the findings of this activity is strongly influenced by the purpose of QA: ensures that

schools know what to work with, achieve their goals and meet the set standards required to bring about

change (improvement) especially in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, the report focuses on the

7 aspects that school effectiveness measures. They are: achievement and standards; personal

development and well-being; quality of teaching and learning; quality of curriculum and other activities;

quality of care, guidance and support; leadership and management; and overall effectiveness of the

school.

The content of the report is organised into two distinct parts viz: preliminary and main. In the

preliminary part, the abbreviations of acronyms, preface, table of content, list of tables, list of figures,

list of appendices and the executive summary are presented. Part two (2) which is the main report

presents the quantitative and qualitative state by state report. Its four chapters described the 36 states

including FCT SUBEBs and went on to discuss what the various SUBEBs/UBEB do well, what they need to

do in order to perform more efficiently and effectively. The report ends with a presentation of major

observations made during the process. It is my belief that this report will be a valuable document to all

stakeholders in basic education, in particular, and those in education, in general.

On behalf of the Commission, I wish to appreciate the valuable contributions of the staff of the

Department of Quality Assurance: Dr C. C. Agomoh, Mal. Jibo Abdullahi, Dr T. T. Onosode, Ms Ada

Veronica Ogwuche, Mrs Esther Tella, Mr. Bartholomew Francis Saleh, Mrs. Arit Akpan, Mr. Julius

Adedoja, Mrs. Deborah Dajep, Najat Omolola Abdulhameed, Mrs. Tina Emuekpere and Mrs. M. E. Ette.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

0.1 Preamble

Basic Education is the education offered to children ages 3 - 14 years. It comprises 3 years of early

childhood care education and the nine (9) years of formal schooling (Roadmap for the Nigerian

Education Sector, 2009). It is therefore, the foundation a child can have for him/her to use throughout

life. The UBE Programme, which is a reform programme aimed at providing greater access to, and

ensuring quality of basic education throughout Nigeria is coordinated by the three (3) tiers of

Government (Federal, State and Local Government). At the federal level, the main agency coordinating

the implementation of basic education is the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) while the

State Universal Basic Education Boards (SUBEBs)/Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs) are

the main agencies implementing the programme.

UBEC, as the body set up to coordinate the implementation of the UBE Programme, carries out quality

assurance in basic education schools at regular intervals, in concert with the SUBEBs, LGEAs and

headteachers/principals for the successful implementation of the programme.

A total of 75 quality assurance officers from UBEC executed the exercise in conjunction with 119 and

266 quality assurance officers from SUBEBs and LGEAs respectively in 33 states and the FCT between

23rd February – 4th March, 2014.

0.2 Objectives

The main objective of quality assurance is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and performance of

schools in accordance with set standards and global practices.

The specific objectives are to:

determine the extent to which quality teaching and learning take place in schools and centres;

create a valid and reliable data base that can support or inform policies and decisions aimed at

improving the overall effectiveness of schools and centres;

monitor the level of learning achievements as well as other educational performance indicators in

schools and centres;

maintain quality standards in basic education in Nigeria;

ascertain the extent to which the approved curriculum is operational in schools and centres and the

extent to which the stated objectives are being achieved;

provide regular and periodic report on the state of basic education in Nigeria;

advise on the provision of proper and adequate physical facilities in basic education institutions;

provide professional advice and support for teacher development in the areas of pedagogy,

classroom management/administration, teaching and learning outcomes.

0.3 Logistics/methodology

Quality assurance officers of UBEC and inspectors from the SUBEBs and the selected LGEAs conducted the exercise.

0.3.1 Population The target population comprised of all the 36 States and the FCT of Nigeria, LGEAs, ECD centres, public primary and JSS.

Quality Assurance Officers from UBEC, SUBEBs and the sampled LGEAs were involved in the conduct of

the QA. While UBEC officers received briefing in Abuja, the officers from SUBEBs and the LGEAs were

briefed at their various offices. The activities commenced immediately thereafter.

While the schools evaluated themselves first and completed the School Self-evaluation Form (SEF), the

teams of External Evaluators validated the SEF against the key indicators during the External Evaluation

based on the 8 aspects that school effectiveness measures. They include:

achievement and standards;

learners’ personal development and well-being;

quality of teaching and learning;

quality of curriculum and other activities;

quality of care, guidance and support;

learning environment;

leadership and management; and

overall effectiveness of the school.

0.3.2 Sampling Procedure Judgmental sampling procedure was adopted in the selection of the specified LGEAs, ECD centres, public

Primary Schools and JSS. Three (3) LGEAs were selected in each of the 33 SUBEBs while 2 LGEAs were

selected in FCT UBEB, Abuja. Fifteen (15) primary schools and 3 JSS were selected in 12 SUBEBs while 10

primary schools and 2 JSS were selected in 22 SUBEBs/UBEB.

0.3.2.1 Samples

The quality assurance was conducted in a total of 34 SUBEBs/UBEB, 101 LGEAs, 214 ECDs, 366 public PS

The March 2014 quality assurance exercise was successfully conducted in 33 States and the FCT with the resultant discovery of areas of strengths and weaknesses in the implementation and utilization of the input, processes and output/outcomes. There is therefore, no doubt that quality learners (who are healthy, motivated and have access); quality teaching (pedagogies that reduce disparity and promote learning and child-centred learning and life skills); quality teachers (competent with motivation, promotion, relevant curriculum, etc); quality context (with relevant, adequate and appropriate curricula that bring about literacy, numeracy and essential knowledge and skills for life); quality learning environment (child-friendly schools, etc); and quality learning outcomes (the knowledge, skills and attitudes that can be used to assess them in the classroom and at national levels), would increase if the SUBEB and the LGEAs continue to carry out quality assurance more frequently in their schools. It is therefore hoped that accessed intervention funds would be utilized for the actual purpose, so as to bring about quality teaching and learning outcomes.

Chapter One

INTRODUCTION

1.0 Introduction

Basic Education is the education offered to children between ages 3- 14 years. It comprises 3 years

of early childhood care education and the nine (9) years of formal schooling (Roadmap for the

Nigerian Education Sector, 2009). It is therefore, the foundation a child can have for him/herself to

use throughout life. The UBE Programme, which is a reform programme aimed at providing greater

access to, and ensuring quality of basic education throughout Nigeria is coordinated by the three (3)

tiers of Government (federal, state and local government).At the federal level, the main agency

coordinating the implementation of basic education is the Universal Basic Education Commission

(UBEC) while the State Universal Basic Education Boards (SUBEBs)/Local Government Education

Authorities (LGEAs) are the main agencies implementing the programme.

UBEC, as the body set up to coordinate the implementation of the UBE Programme, carries out

quality assurance in basic schools at regular intervals, in concert with the SUBEBs, LGEAs and

headteachers/principals for the successful implementation of the programme.

What is quality assurance? It is a paradigm shift from mere school inspection, supervision,

monitoring or evaluation to a total quality assurance for school improvement. Simply put, it is about

finding out if a school is performing the best it can, within a given circumstance. It is all about the

quality of work of a school and its impact on the learner, from the input stage, through processes to

the output stage. That is, it ensures what to work with, achieves its goals and meets the set

standards required to bring about change (improvement) in teaching and learning. The process

involves collecting, analyzing and utilizing relevant educational information which aims at producing

quality, integrity, accountability, transparency and organizational improvement. It also provides

opportunities for an all-participatory commitment, e.g. Self-evaluation (assigning tasks for the active

participation of the headteachers/principals, teachers, learners, SBMCs and all other stakeholders)

and External Evaluation conducted by Quality Assurance Officers/Inspectors.It is one of the 4-point

agenda of the Road Map for the Nigerian Education Sector.

Quality Assurance allows the education system to attain even beyond the minimum standards in the

inputs, processes and outputs/outcomes that would lead to producing a Nigerian child that will be

useful to him/herself and the society. Each of these areas is inter-related in a chain and an

interlocking relay to complete the race towards bracing the tape for a qualitative basic education as

the final product. In relative sense, quality assurance mechanism is for measuring predetermined

national standards that are achieved optimally and meeting those standards consistently. Some of

the key elements in an effective and efficient school include Quality learners (healthy, motivated

and achieving learners); Quality teaching (Pedagogies that reduce disparity and promote child-

centred learning and life skills); Quality teachers (competent with motivation, promotion, relevant

curriculum, etc.); Quality context (with relevant, adequate and appropriate curricula that bring

about literacy, numeracy and essential knowledge and skills for life); Quality learning environment

(child-friendly schools, etc.); and Quality learning outcomes (the knowledge, skills and attitude that

can be imparted to them in the classroom).

1.1 Objectives

The main objective of quality assurance is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and

performance of schools in accordance with set standards and global practices.

The specific objectives are to:

determine the extent to which quality teaching and learning takes place in schools and

centres;

create a valid and reliable data base that can support or inform policies and decisions aimed at

improving the overall effectiveness of schools and centres;

monitor the level of learning achievement as well as other educational performance indicators

in schools and centres;

ascertain the extent to which the approved curriculum is operational in schools and centres

and the extent to which the stated objectives are being achieved;

provide regular and periodic report on the state of basic education in Nigeria;

advise on the provision of proper and adequate physical facilities in basic education

institutions;

provide professional advice and support for teacher development in the areas of pedagogy,

classroom management/administration, teaching and learning outcomes;

maintain quality standards in basic education in Nigeria.

1.2 Logistics/methodology

The quality assurance of public basic education institutions was conducted nationwide from 23rd February – 4th March, 2014 in 33 states and the FCT. The exercise could not take place in 3 states (Borno, Yobe and Benue) due to security challenges and teachers’ strike. Only rural schools in rural LGEAs were selected and visited. It covered 34 SUBEBs/UBEB, 101 LGEAs, 214 ECD centres (operating within some of the 366 selected PS), 366 PS and 74 JSS.

Key: States not visited Fig. 1: Map of Nigeria

1.2.1 Population

The target population comprised of the 36 States and the FCT, LGEAs, ECD centres, public Primary Schools and JSS. Quality Assurance Officers from UBEC, SUBEB and the sampled LGEAs were involved in the conduct of the QA. While UBEC officers received briefing in Abuja, the officers from SUBEB and the LGEAs were briefed at their various offices. Activities commenced immediately after the briefing at the various offices.

The schools evaluated themselves first and completed the School Self- evaluation Form (SEF), the

teams of External Evaluators validated the SEF against the key indicators during the External

Evaluation based on the 8 aspects that schools’ effectiveness are measured. These include:

achievement and standards;

personal development and well-being;

quality of teaching and learning;

quality of curriculum and other activities;

quality of care, guidance and support;

learning environment;

leadership and management; and

overall effectiveness of the school.

1.2.2 Sampling Procedure Judgmental sampling procedure was adopted in the selection of the specified LGEAs, ECD centres,

public Primary Schools and JSS. Three (3) LGEAs were selected in each of the 33 SUBEBs while 2

LGEAs were selected in FCT UBEB, Abuja. Fifteen (15) primary schools and 3 JSS were selected in 5

SUBEBs while 10 primary and 2 JSS were selected in 29 SUBEBs/UBEB. In addition, 9 primary schools

were visited in a SUBEB while 12 primary schools were as well visited in one of the SUBEBs. The

breakdown of analysis is shown in table 1.1 below.

The quality assurance was conducted in a total of 34 SUBEBs/UBEB, 101 LGEAs, 214 ECDs, 366 public

PS and 74 JSS.
