APC Highlights Tinubu's Education Reforms and Achievements

The All Progressives Congress (APC) defended President Tinubu's education reforms, emphasizing the stabilization of academic calendars in tertiary institutions as a key achievement. The party's statement, issued by spokesperson Dele Alake, referenced the Federal Ministry of Education’s Nigerian Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI) 2026 report.

The reforms address longstanding challenges in the education sector, including disputes with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The APC outlined that the Federal Government allocated N3.52 trillion to basic education in the 2026 budget and secured $552 million for the HOPE-EDU programme, which aims to benefit 29 million children.

The Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA) programme has returned over one million out-of-school children to classrooms. The APC also mentioned the introduction of a revised national curriculum and the EduRevamp initiative, which has registered 53,553 teachers.

Additionally, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme attracted over 2.8 million applications, with 156,446 trainees receiving support.
