The Universal Basic Education Commission has facilitated the mobilisation of over N100bn in previously unaccessed matching grants for states and the Federal Capital Territory to improve school infrastructure, teacher development and learning outcomes nationwide.The Executive Secretary of UBEC, Aisha Garba, disclosed this on Thursday while speaking with journalists in Abuja, saying the move was part of efforts to reposition basic education under the Federal Government’s drive to improve basic education across the country.Garba said the funds, which had remained unused for several years due to states’ inability to access them, were now being deployed to upgrade learning environments across the country.“One of UBEC’s biggest achievements has been unlocking over N100bn in matching grants for states and the FCT.“These resources are now being invested in improving learning environments across the country,” she said.In infrastructure development, she said the commission, in collaboration with State Universal Basic Education Boards, had embarked upon the construction of more than 4,600 classrooms, renovation of over 6,100 classrooms, provision of 2,780 toilets and 678 boreholes.Garba added that UBEC had also supplied more than 334,000 pieces of furniture to schools and established over 2,300 Early Childhood Care Development and Education Centres to provide stronger foundations for children’s learning.To improve teacher quality, she stated that UBEC had invested more than N20.4bn in teacher professional development programmes.This, she added, aimed at improving classroom delivery, strengthening school leadership and enhancing accountability.She also spoke of the Effective Schools Programme and efforts to strengthen School-Based Management Committees to improve oversight and community participation in school administration.Garba also highlighted UBEC’s growing investment in technology-driven learning, saying the commission was preparing Nigerian pupils for the demands of the digital economy.Related NewsAcademy urges FG to introduce Abacus in schoolsAlumni urge Ondo to fix school infrastructure, recruit teachersScrapping JSS, SSS alone won’t end dropout crisis — NAPPSShe said UBEC was expanding Digital Literacy Centres, strengthening Smart Schools and promoting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, coding and robotics in basic education.“In addition to infrastructure and technology, we are investing in the skills Nigerian children need to compete in the future economy,” she said.The Executive Secretary disclosed that more than 7.8 million instructional materials had also been distributed to schools nationwide to improve literacy, numeracy and foundational learning.She said the commission was expanding access to education through programmes targeting vulnerable groups, including Open Schooling, Integrated Qur’anic and Tsangaya Education, girl-child education and inclusive education initiatives.“Our commitment goes beyond infrastructure and technology.
