The Federal Government has introduced the Accelerated Basic Education (ABE) programme, a nationwide initiative aimed at providing learning opportunities for 80 million underserved non-literate Nigerians, including out-of-school youths and adults who lack access to basic literacy.
The programme was unveiled on Wednesday by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, during a National Stakeholders Engagement Meeting on Youth and Adult Literacy in Abuja.
It is designed to deliver inclusive and adaptable learning across the country’s six geopolitical zones, focusing on reaching learners in their communities without compromising educational quality, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
