Background of the Study
Universal Basic Education (UBE) remains a cornerstone of national development strategies, yet its effective implementation faces numerous challenges in Enugu East Local Government Area. The complexity of educational reforms is underscored by factors such as inadequate funding, infrastructural deficits, and socio-cultural barriers that hinder policy execution (Chinwe, 2023). Despite governmental commitments to education, disparities in resource allocation and management persist, impacting the quality and accessibility of basic education. Recent studies indicate that administrative inefficiencies and limited stakeholder engagement further complicate the delivery of UBE services (Ndu, 2024). Moreover, community attitudes towards education and prevailing economic conditions contribute significantly to the implementation gap. By exploring the dynamics of resource management, teacher training, and community participation, this study aims to shed light on the obstacles and opportunities within the UBE framework. The investigation seeks to provide empirical evidence to inform policy adjustments and improve the overall effectiveness of basic education in the region (Ebele, 2025). Addressing these challenges is crucial for achieving equitable educational outcomes and fostering sustainable development in Enugu East. This comprehensive review will inform stakeholders for future strategic planning and drive systemic reform.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the promising framework of Universal Basic Education, implementation in Enugu East is hindered by multifaceted challenges. Inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and limited community involvement are major barriers (Chinwe, 2023). The disconnect between policy formulation and practical execution results in substandard educational outcomes (Ndu, 2024). This gap undermines efforts to achieve equitable education, leaving many students disadvantaged. The lack of effective monitoring and evaluation further complicates the situation. It is essential to identify and address these obstacles to enhance UBE implementation and ensure that all children receive quality basic education (Ebele, 2025). Immediate action is required to resolve these challenges now.
