ENGLISH PRACTICE QUESTIONSINSTRUCTION: Answer all the questions
SECTION A (COMPREHENSION PASSAGE)
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
How to Make the UBE Work
For Nigeria to make a success of the Universal Basic Education programme, all the
three tiers of government should give priority attention to teacher training and retraining,
production of early childhood educators, infrastructure development, provision of books and
instructional materials.
The Managing Director, University Press Plc, Mr. Samuel Kolawole, said these factors
were imperative to the development of a virile school system. The UBE is the major strategy
the Federal Government adopted in 1999 to attain the goal of Education for all by 2015. The
policy is aimed at ensuring improved and equitable access to basic, universal and compulsory
education for all the children of school age and continuing education for all illiterate adults.
Kolawole, in a chat at a workshop, said government should design an all-inclusive
approach to ensure the success of the scheme. He pointed out that one area of teacher
education to be looked at is the training of professional teachers for the pre-primary school
level of education. “If the UBE must succeed, we as nation should review the professional
qualification of teachers in pre-primary schools, we should give priority attention to this class
of teachers because whatever mistake they make when teaching the kids could be fatal. All
quality course books that could stimulate the kids should be massively provided for the
school system while the teachers already in the system should be retrained on a regular
basis”.
Oduntan, however, noted that the government and school owners should invest in human
and infrastructural development while teachers should imbibe the virtues of sound human
relationship, concern in the discharge of their duties.
