Upholding Standards: The Role Of Federal Education Quality Assurance Service

Nigeria’s vast and complex education system makes it a huge challenge to ensure that every school, whether public or private, meets the required standards. With over 100,000 primary and secondary schools across the country, monitoring and maintaining quality is no small task.

Reports have emerged of some institutions, particularly private schools, operating without proper accreditation, highlighting the need for stricter oversight. The work of the Federal Education Quality Assurance Service (FEQAS) goes beyond simply identifying these gaps; it’s about creating a clear roadmap for improvement and holding institutions accountable.

The challenges facing Nigeria’s education sector are well-known from learning poverty and inadequate funding to poor teacher quality but tackling them demands a coordinated and strategic effort. FEQAS plays a crucial role in this process, ensuring compliance, promoting accountability, and driving initiatives that raise educational standards nationwide. Upholding quality education is not just about regulation; it’s about shaping the future of millions of Nigerian students and providing them with opportunities to thrive.
