This boko haram is real ..but is the figure for real or just political given ethiopia, kenya & South africa are also in top 10? African countries need to do more to keep kids in school as much as possible .... ..tragic to see Nigeria in same league with Somali ....not so good picture for Africa in coming years given these are the trailblazers
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation has released a shocking report indicating that one out of every five Nigerian children is out of school.
In what is clearly a national disgrace for a country that is the world’s eight largest oil producer, the UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EAGMR) says Nigeria holds the world record of having the highest number of its young people out of school.
With approximately 10.5 million kids out of school, Nigeria dominates twelve other countries with which it accounts for 47 percent of the global out-of-school population.
The other countries are Pakistan (5.1 million); Ethiopia (2.4million); India (2.3million); Philippines (1.5million); Cote D’Ivoire (1.2million); Burkina Faso (1million); Niger (1million); Kenya (1million); Yemen (0.9million); Mali (0.8million) and South Africa (0.7million).

A recent report by the Africa Health, Human and Social Development Information Service indicated that in the northeast, some 52.4 percent of men and boys over the age of six had no education.
The figures were worse for girls and women, rising to 61.1 percent.
But within the average, the figures rose to more than four in five (83.3 percent) of the 1.4 million males in Yobe. In Borno, it was just under two-thirds (63.6 percent) of 2.6 million males.

1 uneducated kid is 1 too many. Education leads to opportunities. People will not be manipulated if they have the education.

Pundit
Buying big cars and developing this and that is the game in town.
Education for all is a mirage.
Most MCAs have no idea what they are supposed to do, so they get busy with impeachments instead of building schools and providing clean water.
