According to NAN, Geoffrey Njoku, UNICEF communications specialist, said this on Friday during a two-day media dialogue on sustainable development goals in Kano.
“Since 2010, we have pushed to change the narrative of the 10.5 million out-of-school children but even at that, 70 percent of those in schools are not learning,” he said.“We need to include these 70 percent in school who are not learning to the 10.5 million out-of-school children, so that proper attention will be given to them.
Rahama Farah, chief of UNICEF field office in Kano who was represented by Ehadji Diop, said the government needs to do more to improve the education sector.“According to the World Bank, Nigeria is experiencing learning poverty in which 70 percent of 10-year-olds cannot understand a simple sentence or perform basic numeracy task,” Diop said.
