schools<\/a> in a manner that would further corrupt little children who are already having access to phones and technologies.<\/p>\nHe emphasized that Nigeria is a religious country and as such the morals and values taught in the Church and Mosque in addition to efforts of the parents were enough to bring up a child with solid character.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen my attention was drawn to the document, I called the Executive Secretary of NERDC and ask him why did I see this again, because Immediately I saw this i called him and he assured me that he was going to act on it,\u201d Adamu stated.<\/p>\n
The minister noted that the choice of the theme was very right, considering the prevailing security situation and the inevitable challenges it poses to the public and private sectors alike.<\/p>\n
He noted that even before he became the minister, one issue that bothered him most was the large number of Nigerian school age children roaming the streets.<\/p>\n
Adamu said in order to improve access to quality basic education In 2015, the Federal Ministry of Education under his watch developed a document titled \u2018Education for Change; A Ministerial Strategic Plan\u2019 (MSP) (2018-2023).<\/p>\n
He said one of the focal areas of the document addresses the challenge of out-of-school children through several programmes, one of which is the Accelerated Basic Education Programme (ABEP), an alternative basic education programme for out-of-school children and youth (10 to 18 years) in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe specific goal of the programme is to reduce the number of out-of-school children to the barest minimum among the ranks of the disadvantaged, the marginalised and those affected by crises, disasters and other socio-economic factors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The minister, however, lamented that after over seven years not much has been achieved because states were not complementing the Federal Government\u2019s efforts in tackling the menace.<\/p>\n
Adamu called for collaborative efforts to provide secured environment for leavers and teachers in the face of threatening challenges.<\/p>\n
He also advocated for the Ministry of Skill and Entrepreneurship and three Ministers of Education, to pilot the affairs of the Federal Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n
\u201cI recommended to the President that there should be two Ministries of education, ministry of basic education and ministry of higher education. And if they don\u2019t want to create another ministry, at least they should have two Ministers of state-one basic education, one should be in charge of higher education.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope whoever is heading the next government will see the sense to create the ministry of skills and entrepreneurship and if it will not be created there should be three Ministers of state in the ministry of education. We need a ministry for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso I want to tell states that they are not doing enough on schools safety. I know it is a general menace but states should start doing what ministry of education is doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
While saying it is the responsibility of governments to uphold the right to education for all by ensuring that all barriers are removed, he said all hands must be on deck to strengthen the security system of the educational institutions.<\/p>\n
On Safe School Declaration, Adamu said the Federal Government had carried out effective sensitisation on the implementation of the Safe School Declaration (SSD) Initiative and a secured $20 million for accelerated emergency funding for the North East zone from Global Partnership for Education.<\/p>\n
He added that government had also conducted vulnerability survey on schools in order to devise robust security strategies, constructed perimeter walls around schools, installed alarm systems in schools, and made others.<\/p>\n
He said that while the federal government and some states and the FCT had done their best to arrest the situation, several other states are lagging behind.<\/p>\n
He, therefore, called on all states to rise up to their responsibilities, and provide a safe and secure learning environment for both students and teachers.<\/p>\n
Chief Education, United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) Nigeria, Dr Saadhna Panday-Soobrayan
\nin her remark said attacks on schools and violence in and around schools are having devastating short and long-term consequences on the wellbeing of children and communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cUNICEF strongly believes that quality education, especially for the girl child, is the single most effective investment a country can make to ensure safety and security and the economic wellbeing of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria has a strong policy landscape in support of safe schools. We know what to do to keep our children safe in schools. What is now needed is a strong focus on how to deliver coordinated implementation of the minimum standards on safe school at scale and with urgency,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She, however, said school safety could not be dealt with in isolation from the other challenges facing Nigeria\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n
She noted that children are out of school because they feel unsafe, and when children fail to go to school and learn, this heightens their participation in risk behaviour including in conflict and violence.<\/p>\n
According to her, getting children into school and keeping them there is therefore critical to end the security challenges in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
