The Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Aisha Garba, says discussions are underway on a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the quality of basic education in Nigeria.
Garba disclosed this in a statement on her official X account on Friday after meeting with the President of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN) and representatives of the African Institute for Solutions and Development (AISD).
She said the visit included the presentation of a proposed Strategic Partnership Framework designed to support the World Bank–funded HOPE Project, one of UBEC’s flagship programmes focused on improving access, quality, and infrastructure in basic education.
According to her, the framework offers practical, evidence-based solutions — including turnkey toolkits, technical expertise, and capacity-building programmes — to strengthen UBEC’s capacity to deliver on its mandate nationwide.
“Our shared vision for promoting quality basic education and sustainable development through research and innovation continues to pave the way for meaningful collaboration,” she said, noting that innovation and research remain key drivers of long-term progress in the education sector.
Garba also highlighted AISD’s ongoing research on out-of-school children, stressing that the findings would help UBEC adopt data-driven strategies to address the problem more effectively.
