Our Mission

We are a not-for-profit organisation (Community Interest Company in the UK) whose vision is of a world where all children can read and write with confidence and enjoy their right to learn.  Our work is driven simply by the desire to help as many children as possible experience the wonder of reading and writing.  Through this we believe we can help to release a child’s infinite potential.

 

We support government school teachers to deliver fun, high quality literacy tuition through direct teacher training, and ongoing mentoring whilst also working closely with schools and government to ensure the sustainability of our work.

Our Documentary

We produced this film to show the scope of our work and how, from starting with building a small school in the Niger Delta, our work became the biggest literacy project in Africa. It contains case studies, testimonials and explanations from key government officials.

Jolly Phonics Training 2025

The 2025 Teacher Professional Development (TPD) training season in Nigeria is officially underway!

​

As UBEC’s flagship literacy programme, we are proud to partner in delivering Jolly Phonics training to over 46,000 teachers across all 36 states and FCT, equipping them with essential skills to enhance early literacy.

Here’s Abbas Muhammad, our Technical Education Specialist, at one of the first TPD training sessions in Kano, March 2025.
