Nigeria’s out-of-school children have now risen to an alarming 19.7million population, making the country to have the third largest out-of-school population in the world.
This was made known in the Global Education Monitoring Report developed by an independent team and published by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics on Friday.
The new education data covers over 200 countries. UNESCO is an authoritative reference that aims to inform, influence and sustain genuine commitment toward the global education targets in the new Sustainable Development Goals framework.
The head Kano office of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) in March 2022 had said 18.5 million children did not have access to education in Nigeria.
The report released yesterday titled, “New estimation confirms out-of-school population is growing in Sub-Saharan Africa” showed that the region not only has the highest out-of-school population it is also the only region where the population is growing.
“It is estimated that 244 million children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18 worldwide were out of school in 2021, of which 118.5 million were girls and 125.5 million were boys,” the report stated.
With 19.7 million, Nigeria is the first African country in the top ten countries with the largest numbers, a situation which depicts how the education sector has collapsed under the current President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
Some African countries in the top 10 lists are Ethiopia occupying the fourth spot with 10.6 million children. Tanzania has 6.9 million, Congo 5.8 million and Sudan 5.0 million to occupy the seventh, ninth and tenth spots respectively. 
The report stated that while out-of-school rates among primary school-age children have been consistently declining the main challenge is among adolescents and youth whose out-of-school rates have stagnated since 2010 at 33 per cent and 48 per cent respectively. 
“In Nigeria, out-of-school rates among adolescents and youth of secondary school age have hardly changed in 20 years with the result that the out-of-school population in this age group increased by 61 per cent, from 6.3 to 10.1 million. The number of out-of-school children of primary school age also increased by 50 per cent from 6.4 to 9.7million, as the out-of¬-school rate has remained constant at 28 per cent since 2010,” the report stated.

Effect of buhari.

Tinubu is warming up

And by the time that man step his foot in Aso rock.

Nigerians should say bye bye to Nigeria

Buhari totally destroyed Nigeria and Tinubu will bury it if he succeeded in rigging himself in.

You expect someone that didn't go to school to care about education?

Of all the three main presidential aspirants only one has given a very clear view on how he plans to improve education in the country and we cannot doubt him since he has done it as governor

I don't even need to mention his name

in 2006 the number of out of school children was 6,532,169

in 2022 this number is 19,700,000+

An increase of 33.2% in 16 years

And another one without certificates and whose education is questionable says he wants to continue from where the first one stops.
God forbid BATthing
Peter Obi we know.

Corridon:
Buhari totally destroyed Nigeria and Tinubu will bury it if he succeeded in rigging himself in.

He won't, as long as you and I use our PVCs wisely.

APC fools will still defend it .

Then compare Chad with Nigeria

Bluntguy:

Gbam.

Ok

Buhari and APC is complete disaster. And some fools are still routing for another disaster in Tinubu

Jesus Christ! This is really terrible.

Who can save us from this shit?

Education is becoming really costly and in affordable to the poor.

Sny administration playing with education is evil and wicked.
Do we blame them. They have the stolen nigerian money so their kids can school abroad.
Atiku has 48 children and all will end up schooling abroad.
The looting will start from his immediate family.
Nigeria should start one man one child policy.

PYO AS IPC LOKAN. HE IS EDUCATED, SKILFUL AND DISCERNING. HE IS THE MESSAIH.

These people should stop churning out figures up and down. It's not as if we even know our population in this country. Who counted those kids?

Agbadorians must have sense by force!
How can you accept to live in a building that's obviously falling apart with your full chest and shoulders? You must be cured from blockheadedness.

Fake news from the stable of lies...

fake to u, because na ur northern pple suffer out of school student pass, because of insecurity that u guys develop, u guys rule for 42 out of 62 years of independent,still yet ur region,have highest insecurity problem, Terrorism,beggers in Nigeria. North 2023 to continue wat buhari is doing to d north, una like power but yet u pple are not using d power well,if not d north will be d most progressive region in Nigeria through education, development,save and security than any other regions in Nigeria

Those out of school children are going to be the easy recruits for terrorism, banditry etc but Buhari would prefer spending trillions (though means of siphoning funds) on arms and ammunition rather than adequately fund education.

The more we have out of school children, the more we would be confronted with insecurity.

So? What’s the big deal? If a man can become president for 8 years with Nepa certification then why stress children to go to school? All you need to become president in Nigeria is a standard 6 equivalent certificate. Let us all sink this country since we have decided to be collectively stoopid and myopic.

The worst will happen if APC mistakenly retains power in Aso rock.

Nigerians must vote wisely now.

Nigeria!
Top to bottom!

Pipu no go school or magranta again

dem don release new track for pandora.
