The Federal Government has expressed concern over the deteriorating state of schools in the South, Kogi and Kwara states.
Executive Secretary, Universal Basic Education Commission , Dr Hamid Bobboyi, noted the disturbing trend at a five-day training for Master Trainers in the UBE Effective School Programme in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The UBEC boss said several schools across the federation currently suffer from overcrowding and inadequate resources, severely impacting both academic performance and teacher’s morale. “The result of this is low learning achievements in basic education products with low literacy and numeracy skills and teachers, whose commitment to duty is also low. Above all, there exists poor governance structure and low leadership skills among school leaders, which are essential for assuring efficiency and effectiveness in schools .These invariably affect the overall outlook of schools.
Stressing the crucial role of sustained efforts by state governments in building upon UBEC’s groundwork, he urged all states to embrace these initiatives in alignment with global educational standards.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
