The Universal Basic Education Commission has warned states participating in the Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equality in Education programme to meet the November 15, 2026, readiness deadline or risk losing access to the first round of programme disbursements.

She said the workshop was designed to equip states with the tools and strategies required to improve teaching and learning, particularly in literacy and numeracy.
