Federal Government of Nigeria has agreed to commitment to action on Foundational Learning.
The Federal Ministry of Education made the endorsement as part of the World bank summit on Foundation Learning in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Minister of State for Education, Rt Hon Goodluck Nanah Opiah who attended the event in the West African country, in a statement stated that the commitment to action is to ensure Foundational Learning serves as key process to Transform education.
He said, "This endorsement is underscored by Nigeria's commitment to continue to ensure that foundational learning is central to enhancing social mobility and tackling intergenerational poverty and marginalization.
"Nigeria has expanded and will continue to expand the use of technology and innovation to provide out-of- the-box solutions as the central pillar of educational transformation goal."
The statement from the minister further states that, "As we ensure that every child can read by the age 10 and galvanise public-private partnership to scale up foundational learning to hard-to reach areas, we would strengthen pro-poor/pro-family business promises for creating conducive learning environments in homes.
"The working level point of contact would be the Director, Basic Education, Dr (Mrs) Folake Olatunji-David, who can be reached at folatunjidavid@gmail.com."
