This paper looked at Quality Basic Education: A Foundational Bedrock for the Development of the Individual, Local Community and Nation. Basically, the paper looked at basic education and the ingredients needed to make it a qualitative one, how quality education at this level helps the individual citizen, his local community where he hails from and his nation at large. Factors that militate against the success of quality basic education were also highlighted and discussed and the ways forward were pointed out. Recommendations were proffered to help school proprietors (public & private), teaching and non- teaching staff in the school system, policy makers to mention but a few to provide quality education to young children from pre- primary to junior secondary school.
