Abstract: The study examined the assessment of the implementation of the Universal Basic Education programme (UBEP) in Ondo west local government area of Ondo state. Two research questions guided the study. Descriptive research design was employed for the study. The population comprised 1827 teachers. The sample consisted of 235 teachers. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts. The reliability index of the instrument was 0.64, showing that the instrument is reliable. Mean and standard deviation was used to analyze the data collected for the study. Findings revealed that, availability of instructional and infrastructural facilities for the effective implementation of the programm is not adequate. It was also showed that, funding arrangement is not adequate for the implementation of the UBE programme. It was therefore recommended among others that, adequate instructional and infrastructural facilities should be provided by SUBEB, e.g classes, offices, toilets, water etc. they should also renovate more classrooms, provide more textbooks in core subjects in primary and junior secondary schools. Libraries should be stock with relevant textbooks in-line with the curriculum. Also, funding is the key to any development of a programme, UBE is capital intensive, if the expected quality is to be achieved. Continuous financial support is required. The various levels of government should make an un-interrupted financial arrangement which will see to the proper implementation of the UBE programme.
