Tunji Alausa, Minister of Education, has said the Federal Government is scaling up foundational learning programmes across 15 states as part of efforts to tackle learning poverty and improve basic education outcomes nationwide.

The minister disclosed this on Monday during a special roundtable session at the Education World Forum in London, United Kingdom, where he engaged education ministers and global stakeholders on Nigeria’s foundational learning reforms.

According to a statement by Ikharo Attah, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Education, Alausa said Nigeria had successfully unified foundational literacy delivery under a single national standard covering both formal and non-formal education systems.

“We’re scaling RANA for Primary 1 to 3 and Teaching at the Right Level for Primary 4 to 6 across 15 states through UBEC. This uses structured lesson plans, weekly teacher coaching and regular assessments,” the minister said.adsads
