Analysis <strong>of</strong> the performance <strong>of</strong> the agencies<br />
responsible for the implementation <strong>of</strong> Goal 2related<br />
projects and programmes for 2009 shows<br />
the NTI performance <strong>to</strong> have achieved 97%<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> its programme. The National Mass<br />
Literacy Commission was next with 85%,<br />
followed by Universal Basic Education<br />
Commission with 73% <strong>of</strong> its projects and<br />
programme completed. For FCE, 60% <strong>of</strong> its<br />
projects were ongoing at reporting time. This was<br />
a dismal performance relative other<br />
implementation apparatuses like Quick-Wins,<br />
CGS, Defence and Police.<br />
The high performance <strong>of</strong> NTI in the 2009 budget<br />
is attributable <strong>to</strong> the teachers‘ capacity building<br />
programmes, which is less complicated and easier<br />
<strong>to</strong> implement than construction work.<br />
The FTS, under the coordination <strong>of</strong> the UBEC, has<br />
the highest budgetary allocation <strong>of</strong> N5.78 billion<br />
with the bulk <strong>of</strong> the funds being committed <strong>to</strong> the<br />

across the country.<br />
The basic objective <strong>of</strong> the Federal Teachers<br />
Scheme is <strong>to</strong> enlist the services <strong>of</strong> qualified NCE<br />
graduates <strong>to</strong> teach in Public Primary Schools<br />
where the shortage <strong>of</strong> qualified teachers has been<br />
established. It is also <strong>to</strong> reduce unemployment<br />
among NCE graduates across the nation.<br />
Participants usually undergo induction training in<br />
core subjects, basic subjects and ICT across the<br />
country <strong>to</strong> enhance service delivery. The fact that<br />
participants <strong>of</strong>fer service under the scheme for 2<br />
years made it more complicated and some<br />
participants drop out for various reasons that range<br />
from going for higher education <strong>to</strong> getting a<br />
higher-paying job. This could be responsible for<br />
the 70% completion rate.<br />
The overall percentage progress <strong>of</strong> Goal 2 projects<br />
executed by the Federal Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education and<br />
its parastatals is as shown below:<br />
