The Nigerian federal government announced that one million children who were out of school have returned to classrooms within two years. The announcement was made by Kuni Tyessi in Abuja, highlighting progress in education reforms. The minister emphasized the need for deeper support from UNESCO to sustain the initiative.
The government also urged university vice chancellors to diversify funding sources for educational institutions. This comes as the federal government demands stronger advancement offices to support student enrollment and retention. The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve access to education across the country.
The minister noted that the return of these students is a significant milestone in addressing educational disparities. However, challenges remain, including the need for continued investment and policy support. The government is working closely with international organizations to ensure long-term success in education reform.
