By Joseph Erunke, Abuja With nearly 46 million children reportedly captured in a new education data system, almost 250,000 Nigerians undergoing technical skills training and the government claiming to have returned one million out-of-school children to classrooms, the Tinubu administration is making an ambitious case for an education turnaround. But can impressive figures translate into lasting educational transformation?
