The Federal Government has intensified efforts to roll out Smart Schools, Bilingual Schools and Alternative Schools nationwide as part of measures to expand access to quality basic education across the country.
This followed the inauguration of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Ministerial Implementation and Monitoring Committee by the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, to fast-track the completion and operationalisation of the schools.
The inauguration, held in Abuja on Tuesday, was announced in a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education, Boriowo Folasade, and made public on Wednesday.
Speaking at the inauguration, Alausa said the committee would be assessed based on the number of schools that become fully operational and actively provide quality education to Nigerian children.
