The statistics reflect a broken system that makes it difficult for the majority to thrive and fulfill their potential.
Children living in poverty are often the worst hit by these statistics, with their education — and therefore their life choices, being severely affected.
School closures during the pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities, and the children who were already most at risk of being excluded from quality education have been the most affected.

Teach for Nigeria is committed to fuelling Nigerian leadership to guarantee our children their human rights and to enable them to fulfil their full potential.
