In commemoration of the 2024 African Child Day, a women’s advocacy group called for inclusive education for children, irrespective of their sociocultural background.
In her opening address, the host and president of Women of Glory, Lady Lucy Nwajideobi, stated that inclusive education is sacrosanct in ousting destitution in Africa. “The urgency and the importance of inclusive education for African children, regardless of their socioeconomic status, their gender, or their location, can never be overemphasized. The challenges that African children face are numerous and complex. These issues include poverty, lack of access to quality education, health disparities, and social injustice owing to the lack of political will.
