The coronavirus pandemic shut Nigeria’s schools in March. Already with more children out of education than any other country, 13 million according to the United Nations, the virus threatens even more futures.Authorities say schools could soon begin a phased reopening, but organisations like Slum2School have tried to fill the void. It is a Lagos-based charity working across Africa to educate children growing up in poorer communities.
Esther, who received a tablet and headset from the charity, said she had missed attending school until the charity stepped in. With 30 teachers, Slum2School educated almost 1,000 children. It is targeting 10,000 students by year-end.
Of course they don’t mention China.
