“It is very pathetic that in the 21st century, our pupils are still studying under trees and dilapidated buildings, especially in Northern Nigeria…The menace of banditry and Boko Haram in the North-East and North-West is being used by the state governments as excuses, which should not be”First came the utter disbelief and disgust. Then, the wind of outrage took over yours truly.
Sadly, both state governments-Gombe and Niger- culpable in this regard are amongst the states yet to pay their counterpart funds for the Universal Basic Education Fund. There was a report that other states such as Borno, Jigawa, Rivers and the Federal Capital Authority, Abuja did not access the N67bn funds made available by the Federal Government, between 2005 and 2017.
The mandate included achieving Education for All, reducing the rate of school dropouts and children out-of-school; improving quality and efficiency of basic education, as well as promoting the acquisition of literacy, numeracy, life skills and values for life-long education and useful living. But over the years, more have been said than done in reducing the challenges that bedevil the education sector.
According to the Pro-V.C. and Dean Computing, Engineering and Media of De Montfort University, Prof. David Mba, a World Bank 2018 survey of 435 private and public primary schools in Nigeria, that covered 2,968 teachers, showed that a teacher was absent from class for approximately 25% of the scheduled teaching time.
How do we explain the fact that the education sector got N620.5bn out of N8.6tn in the 2018 budget? Of the total N9.45tn budgeted for 2020 by the Federal Government, education is expected to receive N652.94bn . This is contrary to the promise the President made to the Nigerian Community during his visit to France in November 2018. The situation for the states is no better.
