In commemoration of International Literacy Day 2023, Policy House International, in collaboration with the Social and Economic Research and Development Centre (SERDC), Ready to Lead Africa (RTLA), and TiFA-CDI, has set a roadmap to end the out-of-school children crisis in Nigeria by 2027.
The roadmap, which was developed by a team of experts from the four organizations, was a comprehensive four-year strategy that will address the root causes of the crisis.
The strategy includes the following key priorities: Investment in identified infrastructure, including ICT; Increased teacher training, recruitment, and targeted deployment; Incentives for parents in the most vulnerable regions; investment in curriculum and prioritization of STEM, and encouraging nutrition and school feeding.
The roadmap also calls for the enrollment of 11,341,854 children in school, the construction of 89,9000 new classrooms, the training and deployment of 48,000 teachers, the deployment of 92,000 offline tablets, and the provision of complimentary financing of $400 million.
