Schools surveys reported by the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report 2017/8 show that infrastructure shortages often hinder learning in countries at all income levels, particularly in disadvantaged schools.
One of the available data on the state of education infrastructure in Nigeria estimated that 75% of public basic schools infrastructure in some States in Nigeria are in poor condition (ESSPIN, 2009). In non-urban areas particularly, the situation is worse with many of these schools failing to meet current minimum requirements for a safe and comfortable learning environment.
Our approach is an integrated one that seeks to partner with relevant stakeholders and work within existing global, national and local framework and plans such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This in itself is Goal 17 of the SDGs.
Our key initiatives largely fall under Goal 4 of the SDGs. Our education infrastructure initiatives fit within sub-goal 4A (i.e. Education facilities and learning environments) while our scholarship programme fits within sub-goal 4B (i.e. Scholarships).
Through our community-based approach, we hope to supplement larger efforts by other key stakeholders and contribute our quota to the advancement of qualitative education in Nigeria.
