The Kaduna State Government has signed a Contribution Agreement with UNICEF for the Reaching Out-of-School Children Project, aiming to reintegrate 200,000 out-of-school children into the classroom.<\/p>\n
At the signing ceremony, Deputy Governor Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe emphasized that the project addresses one of Kaduna State’s most pressing challenges \u2013 the high number of out-of-school children.<\/p>\n
Dr. Balarabe noted that many children, particularly girls, children with disabilities, and adolescents, are excluded from educational opportunities, and the project seeks to reverse this trend and bring transformative change.<\/p>\n
The project’s benefits will extend to various stakeholders, including out-of-school children, primary school pupils, teachers, head teachers, and local education authorities.<\/p>\n
UNICEF Country Representative Cristian Munduate highlighted the successful enrollment of 49,000 children in the Nigeria Learning Passport, significantly expanding access to quality education across Kaduna State through this collaboration.<\/p>\n
The partnership demonstrates the commitment of Kaduna State and UNICEF to improving education outcomes and reducing the number of out-of-school children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
