UBEC urges stakeholders to ensure inclusive education.

The Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Aisha Garba, has stressed the need for Nigeria to build on existing achievements and ensure inclusive education. 

Speaking during the workshop on Foundational Learning and Out-of-School Children in Abuja, Garba emphasized that every Nigerian child has the right to quality education, hence the need for improved education quality in schools.

The UBEC Executive Secretary highlighted the deep-rooted challenges facing the education system, including millions of out-of-school children and poor-quality education, although she acknowledged that the federal government, supported by the World Bank and other partners, has initiated multi-million-dollar programs to close learning gaps and enhance basic education efforts at the state level.

Reaffirming UBEC's commitment to support, collaboration, and innovation in education, and stressing the need for stakeholders to align on strategies that will deliver real, lasting impact, Garba maintained that every Nigerian child deserves access to quality education, therefore, the event serves as a platform for policy coordination, peer learning, and institutional dialogue.
