NIGERIA:
Transforming education in 2 northern states
[/vc_column_text][/vc_colonne][/vc_row][vc_row][largeur vc_column = »2/3″][vc_column_text]Northern Nigeria has some of the lowest levels of literacy and highest levels of at-risk youth in the country. Overcrowded public classrooms, poor teaching methods and a lack of access for girls combine to make education a challenge. En même temps, the popular, privately run Qur’anic schools had no curriculum for basic literacy or math.
Creative’s Northern Education Initiative worked with communities, educators and the government to reverse these situations. Three videos and four stories describe the transformation taking place in Bauchi and Sokoto.[/vc_column_text][vc_séparateur][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner largeur = »1/3″][vc_column_text]

Up to 70 percent of teachers in Nigeria’s Bauchi state were found to be unqualified or were unaware of modern pedagogical techniques. Working with state education officials and teachers, a unique training program was launched that changed classroom learning for thousands of children. It is part of Creative’s Northern Education Initiative.

Millions of school-aged children in Northern Nigeria are not in traditional public schools. Instead, they attend religious schools that teach them verses from the Qur’an. In cooperation with Nigerian officials and Qur’anic school owners, USAID and Creative launched the Northern Education Initiative to provide access to basic education to these children. It has been a success.

Girls in Northern Nigeria have limited or no access to basic education—making them vulnerable to exploitation, abuse and/or poverty. Creative’s Northern Education Initiative worked with communities, parents, NGOs and educators to change the situation through the Adolescent Girls Program. It opened 19 training centers that offered a curriculum that combined marketable skills with basic literacy and math classes.

Bauchi, Nigeria—His open face decorated by the wisp of a salt and pepper beard, Aliyu Shehu looks every bit the teacher he once was. And though he says he was drawn to education from a young age, Shehu, now the Registrar at the College of Education here, can remember a time when such was not the case for many of Nigeria’s teachers.
