Mamman stated this during a breakfast meeting at the 2024 Education World Forum held in London, organised by Human Capital Africa, in collaboration with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Association for the Development of Education in Africa.
At the gathering that brought together African education ministers and key education partners and stakeholders who collectively renewed commitment to tackle the continent’s learning crisis, he asserted that many great programmes in the country, supported by development partners such as United Nations Children’s Fund and the World Bank, must be doubled down on.
Though the programme focused on secondary education, Mamman cited the World Bank-supported Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment Project, being expanded across 18 Nigerian states, as a strong example of co-creating unified programmes that should then be replicated at the foundational level.
