Summary

The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) stands as a pivotal successor initiative designed to revitalize the primary education sector in Nigeria by replacing the universal primary education framework. This new structure aims to strengthen the academic progress of the first nine years of schooling through a comprehensive educational system focused on innovation. The program incorporates a six-year model of elementary education within a structured framework, ensuring comprehensive coverage from the earliest levels. This initiative is led by the UBEC Executive Secretary and the representatives of the Joint Implementation of the African Development Assistance Centre (JICA). Leadership roles have been held by experts such as Prof. Bala Zakari and Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, serving as technical oversight figures to ensure the technical excellence of the new model. The institution's digital resource center was established in Abuja in April 2024, providing vital online tools for learners across the region, while the UBEC's digital resource center in Kano State featured Model Smart School teachers engaged in design thinking workshops. Furthermore, recent events include an April 3, 2024 event highlighting the Model Smart School in Minna, Niger State, and a dedicated April 15, 2024 workshop aimed at training teachers in Design Thinking, Coding, and Artificial Intelligence. These programs collectively strive to empower students with essential skills and foster a modernized educational environment.
