The executive secretary of UBEC, Hammid Bobboyi and the president of Commonwealth of Learning, Asha KanwarAs part of its strategy to increase school enrollment in Nigeria, the Universal Basic Education Commission has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth of Learning, Canada, on Open Schooling Initiative.
“We reached 13.2 million due to the Boko Haram crisis in 2015. Fortunately, after the personnel audit we did last year, those figures have come down to about 10.1 million. But it is still a worrisome percentage, 10.1 million is so much more than the population of some countries and therefore Nigeria cannot relent in its efforts to ensure that we do everything that is required to reduce that number.
“Children will only learn what is relevant to them. Out-of-school children are not going to come back to learn number counting or literacy or anything, they want to learn something relevant. “The challenge that brought this agreement or partnership is the issue of out-of-school children. The menace of out-of-school children is now a global issue but particularly Nigeria is at the centre stage of the issue. So today what we are going to do is to now sign the agreement that now stipulates the key operational areas of the agreement,” Mr Kagawa said.
