OCTOBER 20, 2014 BY NAN


The Minister of Education, Malam
Ibrahim Shekarau, on Monday in Abuja
inaugurated the Nigeria Education
Website: www.nigeria-education.org
designed in collaboration with the UK
Department for International
Development.

Shekarau said that the website would
make access to education information
easy and enhance the quality of teaching
and learning in Nigeria.

Represented by Dr MacJohn Nwaobiala,
the Permanent Secretary in the
ministry, the minister said that the
website was a timely tool in gathering
and making information available to
planners and researchers.

He said, ”I anticipate that this valuable
new resource will inform and contribute
to the important work that we are all
doing in securing improved access to
quality education in Nigeria.

”Our future success is not only based on
the quality of our education system but
also on the ability to generate
information about it.

”It is, therefore, noteworthy that the
website covers information on diverse
areas of education, including access,
gender, governance, quality, and
specifically, teachers.”

He appealed to practitioners in the
sector to make appropriate use of the
facility to enrich their work.
The minister also urged all government
agencies to make appropriate use of the
site to facilitate the achievement of their
objectives.
Country Director, Education Data,
Research and Evaluation in Nigeria,
Prof. Oladele Akogun, an initiative of
DFID, said every data concerning
education in Nigeria was on the website.
Akogun said that EDOREN worked with
the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics and
other stakeholders in mobilising data.
According to him, the website provides
a literature review of basic education in
Nigeria and sorts out information state
by state for easy accessibility.
He said, ”It is designed to generate new
evidence and understanding of how best
to support equitable access and improve
learning outcomes for all Nigerian
children through innovation and the
sustainable development of basic
education systems.”
He also said the project was the first of
its kind in Nigeria and addressed a real
need for access to research on education
in Nigeria.
