The Adunni Foundation has called for a renewed national commitment to basic education. The foundation emphasized that Nigeria’s independence cannot be fully realized without ensuring every child has access to quality education.
The foundation’s statement was made by Funmi Ogundare, a key figure in the organization. Ogundare argued that the current state of basic education in Nigeria is a major obstacle to national development. She pointed out that many children, especially in rural areas, lack access to proper schooling.
This call comes amid ongoing discussions about the state of education in Nigeria. Recent reports have shown that over 60% of primary school-age children do not attend school regularly. The Adunni Foundation has been advocating for better funding and infrastructure in the education sector for several years.
The foundation’s focus on basic education aligns with broader efforts to improve literacy and reduce inequality. However, challenges such as poor funding, lack of trained teachers, and inadequate learning materials continue to hinder progress. The Adunni Foundation is urging the government to take immediate action to address these issues.
