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.
ix
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
and 75 JSS.

0.7 Conclusion
xix
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.

3.1 Introduction This chapter provides major observations, recommendations and overall effectiveness of the three
levels discussed in the report as well as implications for the Commission.
The conduct of March 2014 Quality Assurance has revealed how the three levels (SUBEBs, LGEAs and
Schools) performed in ensuring quality in basic education delivery. The table below summarizes the
major observations, recommendations and overall effectiveness of performance in each of the three
levels. In addition, the implications of these observations for the Commission are included. This will
assist the policy makers and stakeholders in taking necessary decisions that will enhance effective
basic education delivery in Nigeria.
