Education For All Kids In Nigeria! How Possible?

In the country i live it is an offence for a child of school going age not to be in school, an offence a parent can be jailed for. As a matter of fact if a child is absent from school for a particular number of days in a school calenda year the parents will be visited by the police and charged to court. There is a reason for this and i’m sure the reason is that the government is building a strong future for the country knowing the advantages and otherwise of education. . I feel sad each day i remember that in my country some kids are roaming the streets and would grow up in that same way and the future of these kids one can guess, although our future are in the hands of God, but i think we also have a role to play. Can you please suggest or share with us what you think the government can do to make it mandatory for all kids of school going age to be in school, thereby ensuring a stronger nation in the future where everyone can at least read and write?
