Out-of-School children’s figure drops – Minister

The Federal Government says the number of Out-of-School Children in the country has reduced from 13.2 million to 10.2million, following various interventions of the government and development partners.

According to him, the reasons adduced for this unfortunate phenomenon include, though, not limited to the following: financial incapacitation, violent conflicts and ignorance on the part of parents/guardians. According to him, the concerns of this administration are two-fold; to find an empirical means of getting the figures right and the best ways of reducing the number to the barest minimum.

“Similarly, the Universal Basic Education Commission , the World Bank, United Nations International Children Education Fund , and other development partners are collaborating to reduce the number of out-of-school children. He enumerated the challenges as inadequate security due to banditry/insurgency, misconceptions about the value of education and slow implementation of UBEC programmes by States Universal Basic Education Boards .
