Professor Chidiebere Onyia, the Secretary to the Enu­gu State Government (SSG), has revealed that 50 per cent of pupils in the state can neither read in English nor solve simple mathematics questions.

Onyia stated this while delivering a keynote address titled, ‘Smart Basic Education and the Future of Africa’ at the quadrennial convention of the Old Boys Association of Union Secondary School, Awkunanaw, on Thursday in Enugu.

Gov Mbah: Enugu to Spend 30 Percent of 2024 Budget on Education

According to the SSG, the government discovered the short­coming in its Baseline Assess­ment of primary schools in the state, conducted in November 2023.

“Our findings were shock­ing. After six years of primary school, 50 per cent of our chil­dren cannot read a single word in English and those who can read struggle with comprehen­sion.

“50% of our children can­not solve simple subtraction challenges. What we found out in Enugu State is written large across our nation.”

He expressed displeasure that in Nigeria, 3 out of 4 chil­dren who completed basic education lack numeracy and literacy proficiency.

“The World Bank, UNICEF, and UNESCO have defined this as ‘the Nigerian Learning Crisis’.(Independent.ng)
