Millions of Nigerian children face disruptions to their schooling each year from strikes, flooding, and insecurity. That’s not just a headline — it affects daily life, exam calendars, and family planning. This tag collects clear, up-to-date reporting and practical tips on how policy changes, local crises, and school actions affect kids, teachers, and parents across the country.
We cover three things people ask about most: when schools will open or close, how funding changes impact classroom resources, and what parents can do when systems fail. You’ll find stories on school infrastructure, university admissions, teacher strikes, curriculum reforms, and emergency responses after disasters like the Alau Dam collapse in Maiduguri. Our aim is to give facts fast so you can act or plan.
Expect plain updates on national education policy from Abuja, state-level moves in Lagos, Kano and the South, and local school reports that show real effects. We explain technical terms — like benchmark exams or UBEC funding — in simple language. We also track how weather events, public health problems, and conflict change school schedules and attendance. When a story affects exam dates, admissions, scholarships, or student safety, we flag it clearly.
We also profile solutions that work. Stories look at low-cost solar power for rural schools, community-driven rebuilds after floods, teacher training programs that lift pass rates, and scholarship schemes that help bright but poor students. These are practical reads: what happened, who is helping, and what steps families or local groups can take next.
