dc.description.abstractThe Universal Basic Education Programme (UBE) is an offshoot of the defunct Universal Primary Education of 1976, which in contrast is a nine year continuous programme, and also a response by the Nigerian government to attain Education for All. To this end, the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic Nigeria, in section 18 sub sections 1 and 3 stated in part that "government shall strive to eradicate illiteracy". The implementation of the UBE Programme in Niger state commenced in year 2005 by an act of the State House of Assembly, Notice No 16. Volume 28 saw the establishment of Niger State Universal Basic Education Board and Local Government Education Authority in 2005. The state has recorded some achievements in the areas of school enrolment, retention and completion rates, but their position in North Central Nigeria remains a far cry as Niger state has the highest number of out of school children with 50% in primary school and 52.3% in junior secondary school as reported by EFA, (2015). A descriptive survey approach was used to generate relevant information, using observational study, questionnaires and interviews. The kruskal- Wallis One Way ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study among others revealed that children are visibly seen involved in street hawking and street begging, and there are not enough junior secondary schools especially in the rural areas to support hitch free school transition. The study recommended among others the need of the Child Right Act to be fully enforced to protect children from street hawking and street begging, and that government should provide adequate junior secondary schools especially in the rural areas.
