According to UNICEF Head, Kano field office, Rahamah Muhammed Farah, in Nigeria, girls bear what he describes as a sizeable burden of the challenges that confront the education sector.

Farah spoke in Kano at the opening ceremony of a media dialogue programme on Girls’ Education sponsored by the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development (FCDO) and implemented by UNICEF.

“Currently in Nigeria, there are 18.5 million out-of-school children, 60 per cent of these out-of-school children are girls – that is over 10 million girls are out of school

“While the education crisis in Nigeria affects children across the country, some children are more likely to be affected than others, especially  girls.

“The situation with girls’ education in Nigeria has been further affected by attacks on schools as these attacks have created an insecure learning environment, discouraged parents and caregivers from sending their children to schools, while at the same time, the students themselves become fearful of going to school.”

He noted that UNICEF has taken a number of measures, including its School Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans to mitigate the impact of potential and actual threats on education of girls.

“In Kano State, for example, through the Girls’ Education Project  funded by FCDO, 300 SBMC members have been trained.
