- Description
- After several years of existence of universal basic education programme in Nigeria, young children are still roaming about on the streets begging and hawking during school hours and school drop-out cases appear to remain intractable. Based on this premise, the study applied a descriptive survey to assess the perceptions of teachers on the implementation of the universal basic education programme in Ogoja Education Zone of Kogi State, Nigeria. This study was based on the theoretical framework of Dewey theory of the necessity of life which states that to live a successful life, the young ones need to be formally educated on the prevailing realities of their environment. The study population was 1800 teachers with a sample size of 360 teachers. The instruments for data collection were a questionnaire and checklist. It was found that materials for the implementation of the UBE programme are inadequate,and teachers differ in their perceptions on the supervision of instruction for the implementation UBE programme. These findings implicate curriculum implementation in the sense that there will not be effective curriculum implementation without adequate instructional materials. It is recommended that provision for all the materials needed for the implementation of the UBE programme in Ogoja Education zone should be made.
