EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BASIC EDUCATION MINIMUM STANDARD IN IDP CAMPS SCHOOLS IN NORTH EASTERN, NIGERIA

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the implementation of Basic Education Minimum Standard in Internally Displaced Camp Schools in North- Easter.Using a descriptive survey research design, two research questions were formulated which guided the study. All the forty-four teachers in Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe states IDP camp schools partook in the study. The instrument used for data collection was a self-designed questionnaire titled ‘’Evaluation of Basic Education Minimum Standard in the IDP Camp Schools Questionnaire’’ (EBEMSICSQ). The research instrument was validated by two experts in the area of Curriculum and Instruction of the Federal College of Education, Zaria while the reliability of the instrument was obtained through test retest method. Thereafter the two results were subjected to Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) yielding a reliability value of 0.79 as correlation coefficient. The researcher employed frequency counts and means as method of data analysis. The results however showed that both human and material resources are not adequately available to enhance effective lesson delivery in the North East IDP camp schools and that all the strategies that are meant to improve effective teaching and learning are inadequately put in the place in the IDP camp schools. The study therefore recommended that adequate provision of human and material resources need to be provided by the government, NGOs and other stakeholders in education and that all teachers in the IDP camp schools should employ better teaching strategies to enhance effective lesson delivery.
