ABSTRACT

The Universal Basic Education (UBE) Scheme is one of the implementing agency planned to bring about positive change in the educational system through quality, functional and free education. However, this dream as met bottlenecks, barriers through high enrollment with inadequate classroom space, lack of laboratories, dilapidated infrastructure, employment of unqualified teachers and lack of fund. Despite the national objective to provide free and compulsory basic education to all children, Nigeria still has one of the largest out-of-school populations in the world with about 10.5 million primary school children are out of school which is about 42% of the primary age population. This paper reviews literatures to asses the role, effectiveness and implementing agencies in achieving the Education For All (EFA) goal in Nigeria. From literature reviewed, it was discovered that there is a strong significant relationship between school facilities, quality and quantity of teachers, funding of UBE and the enrollment of students into both primary and secondary schools. The article therefore recommends that for effective management and implementation of the UBA, there is need for full participation and cooperation of the public, professionals and the government.

Key Words:
Role, Effectiveness and Implementation, UBE Programme, EFA Goal.
