Thesis Abstract

<p> This study evaluated the implementation of UBE programme in primary schools in<br>Nsukka Education Zone of Enugu State. To guide this study five research questions<br>were posed and five null-hypotheses were formulated. The design of the study was<br>a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of 2,673 made up of 238<br>head teachers and 2,435 teachers of UBE primary schools in Nsukka Education<br>Zone of Enugu State. The sample constituted of 40 head teachers and 80 teachers<br>drawn from 3 local government areas of the zone. A total of 360 respondents<br>participated in the study. A 30-item questionnaire was used for data collection.<br>Mean rating and t-test were used in answering the research questions and testing<br>of the null-hypothesis respectively. The findings showed among others that<br>infrastructural facilities,, instructional material, trained teachers and funds are not<br>adequately available to a high extent for the effective implementation of UBE<br>programme in the primary schools. Also the findings of the study regarding the<br>constraints to the effective implementation of the UBE programme revealed that<br>lack of proper supervision of teaching and learning in primary schools, inadequate<br>provision of instructional materials and infrastructural facilities to primary<br>schools. Poor finding of educational programme and poor statistical data on UBE<br>primary schools were to a high extent constraints to the effective implementation of<br>the UBE programme in primary schools. Based on this, recommendation were<br>made which include that government should recruit more teaching staff for the<br>primary schools and provide adequate training incentives, infrastructural<br>facilities, instructional materials and funding for the effective implementation of<br>the UBE programme in the schools in Nsukka Education Zone. <br></p>
