Why Number Of Out-Of-School Children Is On The Rise, By Ladoja
He spoke when he visited IDP camps in Mahuta, the headquarters of the Fakai local council and Isgogo in Zuru Emirate to sympathise with the families of persons killed by the bandits. The Kebbi governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Abubakar Mu’azu Dakingari, said the governor also commended the people of the area for the support and assistance provided to the IDP camp in Mahuta.
The latest data released by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation in September 2022 put the current number of out-of-school children in Nigeria at 20 million. Ladoja said: “The education sector has a multifaceted problem. We have been discussing Nigeria’s education problem for decades, but the only solution is must ensure these children are able to read and comprehend.
“So the major problem from my research is comprehension. The way forward is to begin to train the teachers first because the teachers from my research actually don’t know how to deliver.”
