BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT AT GOSSA PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LUGBE ABUJA FCT
Education is the bedrock of development but unfortunately education in Nigeria is bisected with myriads of problem. These problems include; poor funding and thus poor educational infrastructures, inadequate classrooms, teaching aids, pacify of quality teachers, polluted learning environment. The school system is planged with numerous social vices such as examination malpractices, cultism, hooliganism and corruption. For meaningful development to take place; the government needs to re-address the issue of funding.
Nigeria’s Government recently acknowledged that the country has the highest number of children out of school in the world. It says there are 10.5million children not being educated. Education Officials have blamed cultural factors, nomadic communities and the Boko Haram insurgency.
Looking at the condition of education in Nigeria, it is so worrisome, discomposing, disturbing, perturbing and very sadden that when you walk on street of our society today, you discover that children that are supposed to be in classroom learning, are on the street hawking, selling, begging or involving in one unnecessary activity or the other. To a large extent, some parents if not fully responsible, contributed to this unfair act through selfishness, ignorant or illiteracy.
Mirian Pat Foundation is aim at making education accessible to less privileged, vulnerable people and PWDs in the bid to improve and support the sustainable development growth.
Mirian Pat Foundation executes its projects through sensitization, community awareness, vocational skills acquisition, advocacy to state and federal governments.
