Stakeholders urge Fed Govt to increase investment in online learning

In a bid to ensure Nigeria’s education system is at par with global standards, stakeholders in the  sector have urged the Federal Government  to increase investment in online learning platforms to alleviate the impact of the pandemic on education across the country.

These recommendations came as part of the education survey carried out by Eduplana, a civic organisation in collaboration with Budgit and Oxfam , both tech-driven, and non- profit organisations.

The outcome of this survey was launched during a webinar,recently.

Due to the impact of COVID-19 globally ,the education of more than 1.9 million has been adversely affected. However, to bridge inequality  among children from different social strata, Eduplana analysed responses from over 1000 respondents across the 36 states and the FCT  in Nigeria between July and August 2020.
