Nigeria is one of the countries of the world with the highest number of out of school children.

Several efforts have been made by government and International donors to change the narrative for the country but a lot more still needs to be done.

This is against the 2018 report where statistics indicated that Abia, Kwara, Enugu, Bayelsa, FCT and Ekiti topped other states with the latest number of States with the lowest number of out-of-school-children in the country.

These positive indications were not visible in Kebbi, Zamfara and Bauch States which recorded 65 Per cent, 61percent and 61 percent respectively despite series of interventions by development partners over the years.

The chief of data also revealed that 27 per cent of children aged seven to 14 years had foundational reading skills while only 25 per cent were with foundational numeracy skills.

Increasing population growth was also identified as a factor threatening a positive impact on the out-of-school trend in the country.
