01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Over 290 Million Children and Youth Are Out of School according to UNESCO 2020, and UNICEF report, 10.5 million of the country’s children aged 5-14 years are not in school. Only 61% of 6 to 11-year-olds regularly attend primary school. Some states in the north east and north west of the country have more than half of the girls not enrolled in schools as marginalisation ensures that girls are deprived of basic education. This struggle was going on prior to COVID-19 to ensure young children stay in school and have access to proper education, as Nigeria contributes approximately 20% of the total global out-of-school population. On 19 March 2020, the Federal Ministry of Education approved school closures as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nigeria educators are having it difficulty connecting with their students in traditional classroom as schools have shut-down to avoid the spread of the corona virus.
