dc.description.abstractIn this survey study, an attempt was made to examine the Basic School teachers, administrators and supervisors’ assessment of the implementation of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme in Kwara State, Nigeria. Four hundred and forty-five Basic School teachers, administrators and supervisors drawn from all the three senatorial districts in the state took part in the study. We designed and used a questionnaire tagged ‘Assessment of the Implementation of UBE in Kwara State’ to gather data in the study. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyse the data gathered in the study. Findings of the study revealed that most of the Basic School teachers, administrators and supervisors adjudged the funding, provision of basic infrastructural facilities, science and ICTs facilities, textbooks and library to be inadequate. Also, the results of the study revealed the near absence of professional teachers for the newly introduced subjects and early childhood education classes. We advocated the introduction of new courses into the teacher education curricula at university and colleges of education level to produce specialist teachers for the newly introduced subjects at the Basic School level. We equally challenged the government to implement the mandatory teacher professional development scheme. The provision of library, basic science, and ICTs laboratories in all Basic Schools to attain the set objectives of the UBE programme was advocated in the study.en_US
