NATIONAL-TO-STATE DELIVERY

National direction. Local responsibility.

A proposed operating structure that combines shared standards with local ownership and clearly agreed responsibilities.

How the levels connect.

01 / NATIONAL

Coordinate the framework

CIE Nigeria convenes programme design and partnership development. The proposed national function sets common quality expectations, reference resources and a shared approach to reviewing results.

02 / STATE

Translate priorities into a plan

A designated state lead works with authorised institutions to agree scope, responsibilities, participating cohorts, resourcing and support. State arrangements require their own authorisation.

03 / NETWORK

Coordinate participating schools

School-group managers can organise common preparation, training and reporting across their network within their actual authority.

04 / INSTITUTION

Make services useful every day

School leaders retain responsibility for educational decisions, local users, records, teaching practice and communication with families.

What must be agreed before activation.

  1. Authority and scope. Record the lead institution, permissions, education levels, initial cohort and components.
  2. Responsibilities. Name accountable leads for implementation, education quality, support and review.
  3. Resources. Agree costs, committed funding, infrastructure, staff time and continuing support.
  4. Information and learner protection. Define authorised access, supervision, reporting routes and applicable institutional procedures.
  5. Review. Establish a baseline, practical indicators and a date for a joint delivery review.

Useful reporting with appropriate boundaries.

National reporting should focus on agreed aggregate results. Participation does not imply unrestricted national access to identifiable learner or staff records. State authorities and school-group managers have distinct reporting needs and permissions.

Detailed governance arrangements remain subject to programme adoption and institution-specific agreements.
