Title: The capacity of Nigerian Government to deliver basic education services
Abstract: The education sector includes the sum total of all organizations - public, civic, and private - involved in the management and delivery of instruction. In Nigeria, these include the schools at all levels, as well as the agencies that provide them pedagogical and technical support, manage and run them at the federal, state and local levels. The analysis of capacity here focuses, however, on the public schools sub-sector and, within it, on the organizations charged with the implementation of UBE - the organizations that manage and run the basic education system. These include the State Primary Education Boards (SPEBs), the State Ministries of Education (SMOEs), and the Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs). The Federal Ministry of Education (FMOE) and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) are referred to in different contexts, but no specific analysis of their capacity was undertaken for this study. The objectives of this analysis were (a) to determine the general capacity of the basic education sub-sector to manage its operations, (b) to identify strategic issues related to this capacity and (c) to propose practical measures for capacity building where appropriate.
