成人快手 Minute: On Nigeria's education crisis - Infrastructure
Nigeria's government recently acknowledged for the first time that the country has the highest number of children out of school in the world. It says there are 10.5 million children not being educated. Education officials have blamed cultural factors, nomadic communities and the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency; but critics point to a lack of funding.
Across the country schools are overcrowded, dilapidated and ill-equipped, while in rural areas access to education is limited. The country's education ministry says it is committed to providing an ''inclusive and functional education system''. 成人快手 Hausa's Mohammed Kabir Mohammed in Abuja shares his experiences.
