Nigeria has launched a $552 million basic education programme co-financed by the World Bank and the Global Partnership for Education, President Bola Tinubu said on Thursday, to improve learning outcomes, widen access to schooling and strengthen the education system.
The HOPE-EDU programme will directly benefit about 29 million children, more than 500,000 teachers, 65,000 public schools and 10,000 non-formal learning centres nationwide, Tinubu said at the launch in Abuja.
