Abstract
This research work assessed the Implementation of Universal Basic Education
Programme in Junior Secondary Schools in Yobe State, Nigeria. The study was
conducted using five objectives which were translated into research questions and
hypotheses. Descriptive survey design was adopted with 5862 as population of the
study, using the sample size of 365 based on the recommendation of sample size table
prepared by Research Advisers (2006). The instrument used for data collection was
questionnaire titled Assessment of the Implementation of Universal Basic Education
Programme Questionnaire (AIUBEPQ). It was validated, pilot tested and found at 0.81
reliability coefficient. Mean, standard deviation and bar chart were used for
descriptive analysis and chi-squire was used for inferential analysis. The research
findings revealed that: all the five null hypotheses were rejected which further opined
that, there was adequate enrollment in some junior secondary schools in the study area
but in some schools like Government Day Junior Secondary School Garanda and
Government Day Junior Secondary School Bulanguwa the students‟ enrolment was not
encouraging; Yobe State Government is trying her best in the recruitment of Universal
Basic Education teachers, but there are still challenges as regards to the teachers‟
posting to schools located in rural areas. However, politics and favourism have
significant influence in the process of teachers‟ posting in the study area. Based on the
findings five recommendations were proffered which include; there is need for
stakeholders to enlighten those communities outside metropolitan cities on positive
implication of students‟ enrolment in to Universal Basic Education Programme and its
contribution to societal development; and wrongful political interference and favourism should be abstained while posting Universal Basic Education teachers
among other recommendations.
