Changing Course, Transforming Education
Published Jan 24, 2022
Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, one in every five of the world’s out-of-school children was in Nigeria. The country’s education system has been constantly lampooned for its substantial lapses in human capital development.
Although primary education is officially free and compulsory, about 10.5 million children aged 5-14 years are still out of the classroom. Only 61% of children between 6 to 11 years regularly attend primary school, and only 35.6% of children aged 36 to 59 months receive early childhood education. Due to high insecurity, the situation is even bleaker in the northeast and northwestern regions.
In commemoration of another International Day of Education, kindly suggest to the government what you think can change the course and transform education in Nigeria. All suggestions will be submitted to the appropriate government agency. We believe it will help foster access to sustainable, equitable and quality education for Nigerian children in the long run.
