Concerned about the downturn in the quality of basic education available to Nigeria’s children, which has resulted in our having about 13.2 million out-of-school children, a UK-based not-for-profit organization, Raising Champion Children Initiative (RCCI), under the leadership of an Educationist and Executive Director, Mrs. Bose Agbesanwa, recently engaged stakeholders in the education sector at a roundtable conference with a view to finding better solutions to the multiple problems confronting the sector. This she said became imperative in order to lay the right foundation for our children and also meet up with international standard, especially now that the world has gone global.
The roundtable dialogue, which held at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry building (LCCI), Alausa, Ikeja brought together players in the sector such as SUBEB; head teachers of private primary as well as public primary schools, politicians, policy-makers, educators, parents and other stakeholders to examine the topic: “Grading Nigeria’s Progress in Basic Education”.
In her welcome address, Agbesanwa explained that Raising Champion Children Initiative (RCCI) is a non-profit organisation committed to supporting and improving lives of less privileged children, their families and communities by empowering them through quality relevant education, innovative healthcare and entrepreneurial skills.”
