Executive Secretary, Universal Basic Education Commission , Dr Hamid Bobboyi, has lamented that the country’s public primary schools lack 194,867 qualified teachers and 1.1 million classrooms.
The UBEC chief noted that the inadequacy of qualified teachers at primary school level is contributing to learning poverty in basic education. He also noted there are huge gaps between what is required for Nigeria to operate functional and effective basic education, and what is available in both public and private schools.
He noted that since government alone cannot meet the huge requirements for quality basic education delivery, private entities should commit to taking further responsibility in key aspects of UBE delivery, especially creating opportunities for addressing the out-of-school children phenomenon.
