Federal Government says it will return 15 million out-of-school children back to the classroom by 2027.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday at a One-Day Retreat on Quick Wins in the Ministerial Deliverables (2023-2027).

Mamman said that the learning challenges had also been a major issue which according to him was a bad product of the out-of-school menace, hence must be taken seriously.

He explained that having robust policies in place was not enough to address the challenges but delivering on the policies would go a long way in tackling the problems of out-of-school.

“The Federal Ministry of Education has further distilled the implementation of the Ministerial deliverables to a more detailed implementation with turn-around strategies that would be measurable and capable of providing results that would be very visible to the Nigerian public.

“On out-of-school menace, we would be paying particular attention to this unacceptable phenomenon and in line with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment, would work towards returning 15 million Out-of-School Children back to the classrooms by the year 2027,” he said.
