The Unity Schools Old Students Association is urging states to work together to tackle the issue of out-of-school children in Nigeria. In a press conference, the President-General of USOSA, Michael Magaji, highlighted the association’s commitment to improving education quality in the country.
USOSA has supported public schools by providing smart learning facilities as a way of giving back to the nation, acknowledging the benefits they received from taxpayer-funded education. The association has also been actively engaged with the Federal Ministry of Education, offering policy support for good governance and learning excellence.
The upcoming 43rd Plenary/Annual General Meeting aims to create a position paper for authorities to enhance education policies. With over 20,000 out-of-school children in Nigeria, efforts are being made to enroll them, including a pledge to enroll 11,000 out-of-school children in the Federal Capital Territory.
USOSA is dedicated to nation-building and promoting Nigeria’s diversity and richness. The association calls on state governments to collaborate in addressing the out-of-school children crisis nationwide.
