The Minister of Education in Nigeria, Prof. Mamman Tahir, has revealed the roadmap for the education sector’s activities for the period 2024-2027. The roadmap prioritizes basic education and aims to reduce the number of out-of-school children by 15 million. To achieve this goal, the ministry has initiated the establishment of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children. It has also approved a policy on Early Child Care Development in Education (ECCDE) and engaged with state governments to address obstacles affecting the optimal utilization of Universal Basic Education funds.<\/p>\n
The theme for the next three years is “Education for Renewed Hope Agenda: Roadmap for the Nigerian Education Sector 2024-2027.” The roadmap was subjected to stakeholders’ review, adoption, and approval for implementation by the National Council on Education.<\/p>\n
The minister emphasized the need for Nigeria to address the challenge of having the highest number of out-of-school children globally. The roadmap aims to return 15 million out-of-school children to classrooms by 2027. The focus includes strengthening foundational and basic education, integrating non-formal schools into formal systems, scaling up adult literacy and non-formal education interventions, and increasing opportunities for girl-child education.<\/p>\n
The ministry also plans to foster partnerships with all tiers of government and development partners. The roadmap highlights the commitment to improving governance accountability, coordination, and a focus on results at all levels. It calls for increased public financing, transparent and timely release of funds, and joint efforts by federal and state governments for efficient program execution.<\/p>\n
The education sector’s roadmap is part of broader efforts to enhance the quality and accessibility of education in Nigeria, contributing to the country’s socio-economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
