The workshop was organised by NUT in partnership with Education International (EI) and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES).

NUT national president, Comrade Audu Titus Amba, reiterated the Union’s stand against the brazen attempt to legitimise profit-making in the provision of education, which is antithetical to their quest, desire and commitment as a nation, to provide free, inclusive and equitable quality education to all in line with SDG 4.

He, therefore, demanded that government should not abdicate its responsibility to regulate and monitor the operations of private providers based on set standards and human rights principles and be alive to its obligation to guarantee the right to education by providing free, inclusive, equitable quality education for the benefit of the nation’s children and citizenry,

“Government should invest more in education by allocating the internationally recommended benchmarks of 6% of GDP and 20% of the national budget to education. This can be achieved if government adopts progressive and efficient tax collection processes to generate resources.
