This is an initiative that seeks to identify, showcase, harmonize, and celebrate various inspiring and transformative youth-led educational responses to COVID19 in Nigeria. With an overarching goal of documenting and projecting the inspirational leadership and ingenuity of young people as crucial front liners and pacesetters in educational development, the annual report will chronicle diverse perspectives and dynamics of youth-led innovation and entrepreneurial leadership within the local educational sector as it applies to efforts geared at improving policy, practice, and research.

Background Of The Education Report 2020

As a driving force in shaping a sustainable and inclusive future, tapping into the creativity of young people is essential to deliver ground-breaking solutions to boost sustainable development, particularly in ensuring equitable access to quality education. It is unarguable that complex development challenges like the COVID19 pandemic require an effort to go beyond traditional approaches and in these times, young people have proven to be energetic, passionate, and ambitious individuals with the zeal and understanding to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.

More than 40 million learners in Nigeria were affected by the nationwide school closures, of which over 91 percent are primary and secondary school learners.  Nonetheless, it is inspiring to see how young people are organising within communities, mobilising resources, and designing innovative strategies to ensure alternative educational and distance learning opportunities are accessible to students and children.
