The federal ministry of education says it intends to enroll three million out of school children in schools by 2024 and has sought the partnership of all stakeholders to achieve the goal.
Special adviser to the minister of state for education, Dr Claris Ojham, dropped the hint at the third edition of “Walk for Education 3.0,” organised by FlexiSAF Foundation in Abuja yesterday.
Ojham said the ministry would partner Flexixer to ensure that it brings all children that are out of school back to classrooms to increase access to education, particularly the less privileged.
She said the walk for education is a kind of motivational message, whereby when one looks at very prominent people walking for education, children would want to go to school to be like them, and it is very encouraging.
Director general of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Dr Kashifu Inuwa, said at the event that the agency had a target to implement the national literacy framework to achieve 95% digital literacy by 2030.
He said NITDA plans to work with foundations like FlexiSAF to define its initiative for quality and inclusive access to education through digital infrastructure, adding that the agency was coming up with the new initiative to deploy three learning centres per state, especially in public schools where there is no infrastructure.
