🥹🥹 EDUCATION CRISIS: 3 OUT OF 4 NIGERIAN CHILDREN CAN'T READ OR SOLVE BASIC MATH AT AGE 14 – UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has revealed a troubling reality: only 1 in every 4 schoolchildren in Nigeria can read proficiently and solve basic mathematics problems by the age of 14.

Speaking at a media dialogue on Digital Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Skills Development for Out-of-School Children in Osun State, UNICEF warned that the rapid growth of AI and digital technology could deepen existing inequalities if urgent investments are not made in quality education and digital skills.

Girls remain the most affected due to poverty, cultural barriers, and social exclusion.

UNICEF is also calling on journalists and media practitioners to keep education issues in the spotlight, stressing that consistent reporting can drive policy changes and improve learning outcomes for millions of children.

Beyond the learning crisis, millions of Nigerian children are still completely out of school.
