World class educational facts about Nigeria & africa. at large (you must read)
These facts are not known by most nigerians and its not good because this is world class facts stated by the United Nations about education in africa and nigeria which we ought to know so do somebody a favor and share today.......
1. Authorities have limited operating resources
& autonomy.
Some local governments receive nothing once
teachers’ salaries have been allocated.
Improving efficiency requires the
decentralization of power along with sup[port
from federal and state governments to ensure
an adequate flow of resources to the poorest
areas.
2. 39% of adults cannot read or write.
This reduces their ability both to participate in
the economy and to provide learning support to
their children.
3. Conflict in Nigeria has destroyed 28% of
schools in one State
Violence concentrated in the North has
destroyed many schools and forced many others
to close, and in some cases teachers and
children have even been attacked. In Borno
State, it is estimated that 15,000 children have
stopped attending school as a result of the
violence.
4. Only 2% of married adolescent girls are in
school.
By comparison, 69% of unmarried girls are still
in school. Those with a secondary education, on
average, get married two years later than those
without – which in turn has an impact on
maternal health.
5. Nigeria is projected to be the world’s fourth
most populous country by 2015.
This rate of population growth translates to
about 11,000 babies born everyday. That is
11,000 babies a day who will need schools,
materials, and qualified teachers from an
already insufficient system.
6. 34% of girls are out of school in some areas.
In the same rural areas, 25% of boys are out of
school – a huge disparity. The disparity is
smaller in the South where rural areas have less
than 4% of girls and 3% of boys out of school,
and in Southern urban areas where the disparity
is less than 1%.
7. There are 109 pupils for every satisfactory
Nigerian primary school classroom.
This represents a shortfall of 523,346 primary
school classrooms – 59.95% of the total
needed. At the secondary level there is a
shortfall of 170,642 – 67.63% of the total
needed.
8. No government or agency is clearly
accountable for results.
Local Government is responsible for basic
education—but does not have budgetary power,
which is mostly at the federal level. This
creates perverse incentives for the LGAs to
keep enrollments down or hire less expensive
and therefore unqualified teachers.
9. 40% of primary school teachers are not
qualified.
The lack of teachers is particularly acute in the
Northwest and Northeast, where only 50% and
53% of teachers are qualified. The Southwest
has close to 100% qualified teachers.
10. Only 29% of students who start secondary
school graduate on time at 17.
If you include up to 24 year olds to capture late
starters and repeaters, then this goes up to 75%
& autonomy.
