Abstract
This paper examines quality assurance mechanisms as correlates of goal
achievement of Universal Basic Education (UBE) in public secondary
schools of Kwara State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was developed
and issued to collect information from the study samples. The questionnaire
was administered to one thousand, five hundred (1.500) respondents. Data
collected were analysed using mean, standard deviation, factor analysis,
correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results of the study revealed
that instructional supervision, staff development practices, continuous
assessment and learning environment had a significant positive relationship
with goal achievement in UBE public secondary schools. From the results, it
was recommended among others that ministry of education should organise
workshops and seminars on quality assurance mechanisms, so that principals
and teachers could gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the
identified quality assurance mechanisms.
