Education Minister Alausa Details Nigeria's Reform Agenda
In an exclusive interview with Daily Sun, Dr. Tunji Alausa, the Minister for Education, discussed the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative, which focuses on six priority areas: technical and vocational education and training (TVET), STEM education, reducing the number of out-of-school children, promoting girl-child education, data and digitalization, and quality assurance in education. Alausa emphasized the importance of education as a means to combat poverty and improve societal outcomes.
He reported that over one million out-of-school children have been reintegrated into classrooms and highlighted significant changes in the perception and implementation of TVET, which was previously neglected. The Minister defended the management arrangement for King’s College, Lagos, and expressed confidence that the initiative would surpass its targets across all areas.
Alausa credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his commitment to educational reforms and the broader agenda for education in Nigeria.
