DID YOU KNOW!!!

The economic crunch in the country that has hit all sectors is not sparing the education sector, as it has created more indigent students who are finding it difficult to cope with the situation. An investigation by Vanguard showed that many students are dropping out of school; attending classes hungry; unable to meet obligations such as paying fees and living decently among others.

The current tuition fees imposed on students across tertiary institutions have become a significant problem, as the increases are considerably higher compared to what they used to pay as of 2022 and early 2023. During that period, the average tuition ranged from 30,000 to 70,000 naira for federal schools and between 200,000 to 400,000 naira for most moderately priced private schools. However, today, the school fees have been raised by approximately 200 percent for all federal schools and consequently private schools in Nigeria

Over one-fifth of primary-age children are out of school, and almost 60 percent of youth between the ages of 15 and 17 are not in school. There are many barriers to education for low-income households. One of them is school fees, which unfortunately remain widespread in schools across Sub-Saharan Africa, causing financial stress to families. Digital financial services are one way to help families manage school fee payments so they can keep their children in school. - World Bank Blogs 2023

According to thewhistler.ng, Ahmed Hassan, an undergraduate of Economics at the Sokoto State University, noted that the economic crisis is stifling. “I used to pay N200 to school, but now it’s 500 naira. While in school, I normally eat. But now, I can’t even afford food. Transport alone consumes all the money, tuition is costly” lamented Hassan.
