Anambra's Education Ranking Drops to 33rd Ahead of 2025 Elections

Anambra State's education ranking has plummeted to 33rd in the 2025 National Education Index, raising concerns ahead of the elections. The decline contrasts sharply with its previous success under former Governor Peter Obi, who implemented significant reforms that elevated the state to 1st place in national rankings.

However, Governor Willie Obiano's administration has faced criticism for failing to sustain these improvements, leading to stagnation in the education sector. Limited teacher recruitment, budget constraints, and slow infrastructure upgrades have contributed to the decline in educational standards, highlighting the need for urgent intervention to restore Anambra's academic excellence.
