The Federal Ministry of Education has reaffirmed its commitment to improving access to quality education. Minister Tunji Alausa emphasized stronger collaboration between federal and state governments to address educational challenges.
In a statement signed by Director of Press & Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, Alausa highlighted the need to tackle the issue of out-of-school children. He stressed that coordinated reforms and evidence-based interventions are essential across all levels of government.
The minister commended the Committee of States’ Commissioners of Education for convening its maiden peer-learning webinar. He described the initiative as timely, aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda and reinforcing the Ministry’s mandate.
Alausa noted that addressing educational gaps requires shared accountability, harmonized implementation, and continuous knowledge exchange. He also acknowledged the role of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education in supporting targeted programmes.
The webinar will include presentations from Gombe State and the National Commission. These sessions aim to provide practical insights and national perspectives to guide effective policy implementation at state levels.
Alausa emphasized that data-driven planning and state-level interventions are critical for ensuring equitable access to education. He encouraged states to adopt strategies that reflect local needs while maintaining national standards.
The Federal Government remains resolved to work collaboratively with states to guarantee inclusive, high-quality education for all Nigerian children. By fostering strong partnerships, the Ministry seeks to reduce educational disparities and ensure every child benefits from government initiatives.
Through these efforts, Nigeria aims to strengthen its education system, address enrollment gaps, and promote sustainable national development.
