No child should be denied quality education, says UBEC

The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has emphasized the importance of providing quality education to all children, regardless of their circumstances, at a recent ceremony marking the reopening of a rehabilitated alternative high school for girls in Lagos, Nigeria. Executive Secretary Dr Aisha Garba stressed that no child should be denied access to learning, as every Nigerian child possesses the potential to succeed.

The alternative high school was opened to assist girls whose education had been interrupted due to factors like pregnancy, early marriage, or economic hardships, enabling them to return to learning and acquire valuable skills. Garba highlighted that the initiative is part of broader reforms aimed at improving the quality of education, expanding access, and ensuring no child is left behind.

She urged the Lagos State Government to sustain the investment and ensure the success of the project, which should be measured by the positive impact on the lives of the girls who attend the school.
