The challenges of assuring quality among others were observed to be increasing school enrolment, ineffective teaching and learning process, the poor motivation of teachers, lack of educational resources, lack of quality control and poor funding to schools. To overcome these challenges the paper observed the following strategies as the way forward adequate funding, adequate equipment and facilities, provision of incentives to staff, provision of qualified manpower, effective supervisory system, improving on teachers’ level of training etc. When these are done it is believed that the quality of the educational system would be achieved and assured.
