Facilitating Standards and Performance Study Programme for the National Assembly Portfolio Committee
on Education
The need for states and governments to build effective policy and institutionalcapacity to provide quality education at all levels cannot be understated. In acompetitive global environment, a solid education system that is responsive tothe unique needs of society yields enormous short and long-term advantages.
It is reported that states in sub-Saharan Africa are the third biggest spender oneducation as a percentage of GDP. But the result of that level of expenditure isoften hard to see on the ground. Indeed, UNESCO reports that Nigeria has oneof the most disappointing educational performance records among the oilproducing countries. Standards of delivery remain low across all levels whilelimited access to basic education largely persists. There is an undeniable need
for urgent action to address this great disparity in educational funding andoutcomes.
Against this background, the legislative institution is important to fosteringpublic confidence and trust in the democratic process. This, indeed, is a vitalpart of the overarching role of Legislative Select and Portfolio Committees.Well-functioning legislatures facilitate standards and performance ingovernance.
