The executive secretary of Universal Basic Education Commission , Dr Hamid Bobboyi, has revealed that only 57 per cent of the nation’s basic education teachers are qualified.

The paper was presented at the ongoing two-day policy retreat with the theme, “The State of Basic Education in Kaduna State: Prospects and Challenges”, organised by the state’s ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. He also expressed concern over the increasing rate of enrollment in basic schools, which he said was not proportional to the available infrastructure and funding.

“The story was not different in Junior Secondary schools where enrolment also increased from 3.6 million in 2006 to 4.6 million in 2010 and further increased to 6.8 million in 2018, representing 49 per cent increase. According to him, the scenario shows that government has greater responsibility of proving quality education to the Nigerian children to enable them to live meaningful and productive lives in the future.
