Shettima launches Northeast accelerated education programme

Vice President Kashim Shettima has launched the Federal Government's Accelerated Senior Secondary School Education Programme to transform education outcomes in the Northeast region. ASSEP, anchored by the North East Development Commission , focuses on subjects related to science, technology, mathematics, and agricultural courses.

Shettima said that while primary education provides a foundation, secondary education acts as a bridge. “We in the Northeast occupy a bottom position in ranking of essential services. Education being a key sector of this country, this is especially pronounced in the post-primary education, while the Northeast secondary school enrollment drive stands at 19 per cent –far below the nation’s 39 per cent,” he said.
