CHAPTER ONE
1.0
Background of the Study
1.1
Introduction
It
is today universally accepted that Education is the fountain and foundation of
all wisdom, therefore, the importance of education in any community cannot be
overemphasized. Education is the major factor for sustainable development as
well as a strong pillar around which every other action revolves. This is
because education is the most necessary and effective weapon identified by the world
over advancement of human progress and development. For rapid socio – economics
and social political development of Nigeria, education or at least the basic
one is indispensable (Wales,1996).
The
biggest obstacle that needs immediate attention in Nigeria and other developing
countries is how to reach the unreached. Education wise, how to take education
to the door steps of the masses. A lot of researchers found that between 65% to
70% of children do not go to school. From analysis made by stakeholders, it was
obvious that the explanations advanced that low enrolment among others was
mostly financial. Many parents find it hard to enroll their children in the
school and where they do, many of the children do not stay to complete their
studies due to financial problem, poverty and low level of awareness on the
needs to send children to school. The Universal Primary Education (UPE) Scheme
was the first attempt at the national level by government to establish a
universal education programme in Nigeria. It was launched in 1976 by President
Obasanjo, the then Military Head of State, compared to the Universal Basic
Education (UBE) programme launched in 1999 (Isyaku,
2000).
The
objectives of the UPE were more modest and directed by what was perceived to be
the needs of the nation at the time it was; To ensure that every Nigerian child
from age of six, attended primary school and remained therefore the next six
years, under a free education scheme funded by the federal and state government
(Obasanjo, 1999).
It
is of interest to note that the UPE was not a total failure as general opinion
tends to portray. This was so because the programme recorded and increased in
the number of children in primary school from 6 million in 1977 when it started
to `12 million in 1980 (Obasanjo, 1999).
The
obstacle UPE faced, began from the middle of the 1980s were also acknowledged.
The problems faced them were categorized in three broad groups. First, is the
population explosion of the 1980s which led to sudden astronomical rise in the
number of school age children who could not be accommodated within the existing
school structure, this was in turn due to inadequate schools and acute shortage
of trained and qualified teachers. Second was the decline in national revenue
which militated against the allocation of sufficient funds for the expansion
and quality improvement of the scheme. The third and final problem was
political instability in the country which caused confusion in terms of what
priority should be given to advance education at all levels for UPE to go
beyond mere recommitment and for it to represent the actualization of the
“expand vision”, all hands must be on deck (of those who lead, the led and
those who stand between the leaders and the led) must occupy sincerity,
transparency and accountability to implement the UBE programmes.
There
was a world conference on education held in Jomtien, Thailand in 1991 which was
popularly called Education for all (EFA). This conference was sponsored by the
effort of some of the world organizations and attracted all the Ministers of
Education from all the countries of the world. The outcome of the world
conference on education was the recommendation of the concept of ‘Basic
Education’ to be adopted by all countries in the bid to reduce dropout and
illiteracy rates in every society.
The
report on the state level policy dialogue on UBE programme organized by Nasarawa
State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) Primary Education Board states
that every citizen of the world enjoys fundamental human right to education. To
determine its exact nature and content depends on the context – political,
socio – economic, cultural, technological etc of each society. UBE therefore
entails the following:
-
An enlarged view of education to integrate
formal and informal possibilities for the development of human potentials.
-
An attainment that is not confined to
orthodox education agencies but which requires the input of other socio –
economic development sector.
-
An affair that is a lot more than the
government organization and the entire civil societies.
-
A strong emphasis on learning, that is,
success in acquiring basic skills of literacy numeracy to learn as the most
valuable end result of education.
“Education
for all is the business of all” is the slogan used to summarize what UBE is all
about (UBE Digest 2002) to narrow down UBE to the Nigerian situation, one can
say that basic education in Nigeria encompasses vertical and horizontal
dimension. The vertical dimension is the broad spectrum of formal and informal
approaches to education. The horizontal dimension covers the linear vision of
education from early childhood care and education of junior secondary school
with respect to the scope of programmes, it goes beyond junior secondary
school, since the concept of UBE is a life long based venture, as skills
acquired are used for further learning according to changes, in individual and
national development.
The
basic aims and specific objective of the UBE as spelt out in the Federal
Republic of Nigeria (FRN) implementation guidelines for UBE programme (2000)
are:
-
The provision of free, universal education
for every Nigerian child of school age.
-
Reducing drastically the incidency of dropout
from the formal school system through the relevant quality and efficiency.
-
Catering for young persons who for one reason
or the other have had to interrupt their schooling as well as other out of
school children/adolescent through appropriate forms of complementary
approaches to provision and promotion of basic education ensuring the
acquisition of the appropriate levels of literacy, numerically manipulative,
communicative and life skill as well as ethical moral and civil values needed
for laying a solid foundation for life long learning.
There
is need to identify the main areas of strategy, in implementing the UBE
successfully. The key areas are: a teachers training programme for curriculum
defines a building programme designed for the new curriculum. The
infrastructure and facilities remain inadequate for coping with the system that
is growing at a rapid pace. Lack of teaching and learning resources. The
financial crisis left the existing facilities inadequately maintained and has
retarded progress in building new facilities.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
One
of the objectives of education in Nigeria, to which the nation’s philosophy is
linked to, is the acquisition skill, abilities and competencies both physical
and mental as an equipment for individual to line and contribute to the
development of the society (UPE, 2004). Thus after completion of primary
school, an individual can choose between continuing with his studies or opt for
immediate employment because it is expected that he might have acquired some
basic skills that equipped him or her for employment.
Nevertheless,
the implication of this is that adequate facilities, like, classrooms,
libraries, instructional facilities and enough qualified teachers will be
provided in all the primary schools. This smooth implementation of the UBE also
requires that adequate fund is to be provided for the procurement of facilities
and training of personnel.
Educational
system in Nigeria over the years has faced a lot of problems including lack of
needed human and material resources. Inadequacy in this area has lowered
educational standard in the country. For successful Implementation of the
Universal Basic Education (UBE), the Education sector must make sure it manages
its financial, physical and material resources properly.
This
study is designed to appraise the Universal Basic Education in Toto Local
Government Area of Nasarawa State.
1.3 Purpose
of the Study
The
general purpose of the study is to assess the implementation of UBE in Toto
Local Government Area specifically, the study aims at.
1. Determining
the availability of instructional materials
2. Determining
the availability of Infrastructure
3. Determining
the number of trained teachers.
1.4
Significance of the Study
The
study will be beneficial to administrators and policy makers in the planning
unit of Nasarawa State Ministry of Education towards professional training of
sufficient teachers for sound implementation of universal basic education. The
study will also be useful in determining how government will make effort to
ensure successful implementation of the UBE programme.
The
study will be useful to pupils and students as ways of improving the standard
of education as determined at primary schools and JSS level so as to give the
students, the required skills needed for employment or further studies in their
various schools.
1.5 Basic
Assumption of the Study
This
study is based on the following assumptions;
i.
That respondent to the questionnaire gave honest answers and were not
influenced by their professional background, national identification and
educational status.
ii.
It also assumes that the information in the secondary data were
accurate and unbiased.
iii.
The research further assumes that the reader has a fair knowledge of
basic national security terminologies. Therefore, only the variables shall be
defined and explained.
1.6
Research Questions
1. What
are the available instruction materials?
2. How
available are the infrastructure?
3. How
available are the trained teachers?
1.7
Scope of the Study
This
research work is restricted to find out the progress of Universal Basic
Education in Toto Local Government Area in terms of the Infrastructures,
instructional materials and the number of trained teachers
1.8 Limitations
In the course of carrying out this study, the limitation
confronted with were that of not getting back the questionnaire immediately.
Some teachers were very busy as such the questionnaire stayed one to two weeks
with them before completion. They complained of too much engagement in their
work, that is why they could not fill the questionnaire on time. All these led
to the missing of some of the questionnaires and this led to partial effect on
the analysis of the result.
1.9 Historical Background of
Toto Local Government
Toto Local Government was formerly located
within the Keffi emirate, not until in 1976 when the local governments were
reformed and it became a district entity.
The Local Government is created during
President Ibrahim Babangida Military administration in 1991.
Toto Local Government was occupied by the
Hausa, Fulani as well as the Gwari people. Some historians have it that the
Gwaris were in the area before the arrival of the British troops in 1891. this
also bring me to how the Local Government got its name. The colonialist
asked different question form the Gwari
people and out of ignorance, the gwaris took the question to be something else
and instead gave “Kada ana” s the answer to the question. (Google search: www.google.com).
The Local Government has an overall
population density of 23 person
per-square metre. The area is able to have over a hundred herds per
square metre which is ranging to over 150, 794 people.
The settlers engage themselves in some form
of.
AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES : Like the
cultivation of crop such as millet, Guinea corn, Maize, Cowpea, cassava rice
etc and rearing of animals like cow for their milks and meat production and
every other domesticated animals worthy of managing.
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES: Some inhabitant
engages is petty trading and local craft works such craft works includes black
smiting, weaving, leather work, ties and dies. There also exist quite a number
of commercial bank and service.
More importantly the local government under
its councils provides social services to its people such social services like
electricity, water, health care center, educational facilities etc. they
maintain roads under their care and construct new one. It also has a refuse
disposal unit which is meant to serve the three districts, this shows how clean
and tidy most places in the entity are. (Google search: www.google.com)
