53%
High School Dropouts
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 53% of students in Nigeria drop out of school before completing secondary education. This high dropout rate is due to a variety of factors, including poverty, lack of access to quality education, and early marriage, particularly for girls.
6.7%
Budget Allocation
The education sector in Nigeria faces chronic underfunding, with government spending on education accounting for just 6.7% of the national budget in 2021. This inadequate funding leads to overcrowded classrooms, insufficient infrastructure, and a shortage of qualified teachers.
61.7%
Literacy Rate
Nigeria has a relatively low literacy rate, with 61.7% of adults able to read and write. This low literacy rate limits economic opportunities and contributes to poverty and inequality. The lack of access to quality education, particularly in rural areas, is a major factor contributing to this low literacy rate.
