As education systems worldwide evolve to achieve sustainable development goals, Nigeria’s Ministry of Education has reiterated its dedication to promoting inclusive education and eliminating discrimination in schools.
The Ministry emphasized its support for the full implementation of the National Policy on Inclusive Education during the annual Inclusive Education Conference, organized by the British Council in Abuja.
Representing the Minister of Education, Minister of State Suwaiba Ahmed stressed the importance of inclusivity for the nation’s educational progress.
Statistics from the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities reveal that over 85% of schools in Nigeria are inaccessible to individuals with disabilities. The conference seeks to address these gaps by spotlighting sustainable solutions and fostering better inclusion practices.
The federal government is championing inclusive education through policies aimed at leveling the playing field for all students. The British Council also urged authorities to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn in an inclusive environment.
This initiative signals a growing commitment to making education accessible and inclusive for all learners across Nigeria.
