Crisis in Nigerian Education System as Millions of Children Remain Out of School
The public education system in Nigeria is in crisis, with UNICEF estimating that 10.5 million children aged 6-14 are out of school. In states like Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa, hundreds of schools remain closed or damaged due to attacks and insecurity.
The lack of funding, infrastructure, and quality teaching has compromised the education system, leading to a hollow learning environment. Insecurity, banditry, and violence have made it unsafe for children to attend school in many regions, exacerbating the education crisis.
