FG unveils UBE school improvement programme.
The Federal Government has launched the Universal Basic Education (UBE) School Based Management Committee-School Improvement Programme (SBMC-SIP) for Teacher Professional Development (TPD).
Speaking at an event in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, emphasized that the initiative would foster community partnership and engagement.
Alausa stated that the programme aimed to address the issue of out-of-school children and expand access to education for school-age children, while also improving the teaching and learning environment.
He mentioned that the activities would be funded through the Federal Government/UBE intervention fund and would guide further efforts to enhance the capacity of teachers across the country.
Alausa highlighted the importance of collaboration in advancing girl-child education and tackling the out-of-school syndrome.
“If girl-child education is to be advanced and if we are to eradicate or reduce the out-of-school syndrome, the government alone cannot tackle these challenges.
“It requires a synergy of efforts from all stakeholders, with the community playing a major role, to pave the way for achieving the expected outcomes,” he said.
