Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria
PLANE partners with the Government of Nigeria to foster a more inclusive and effective education system. Our mission is to bring about sustainable improvements in learning outcomes for children across the country, with a focus on marginalised groups, especially girls and children with disability.
PLANE Window One works directly with subnational governments in Jigawa, Kano and Kaduna and with the Nigerian Federal government to strengthen governance systems and address blockages to quality education delivery, with specific emphasis on improving children’s foundational skills in literacy and numeracy.
PLANE Window 2 focuses on creating access to foundational learning for marginalised, conflict affected children and supporting the recovery of systems to enable their continued access and retention.
PLANE Window 3 focuses on building community support for inclusive learning for all children, especially the most marginalised children through advocacy and behavioural adaptation.
DELVe provides independent evaluation, learning and verification services to the PLANE portfolio.

PLANE also works in two regions, the south-east and south-west.
PLANE works closely with and in support of state and federal governments to strengthen and improve their systems, education delivery and optimising government expenditures in the education sector. The programme’s scope extends across three strategic windows of intervention, namely foundational skills development, education in emergency situations, and community-centred initiatives. It is supported by the DELVe evidence, learning and accountability function.

Promoting the recruitment of female teachers is not only an essential step towards achieving gender equality, but also contributes to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and enriched educational environment and safer schools for women to teach and for girls to learn. Encouraging the recruitment of female teachers involves recognising the unique contributions they bring to the profession and addressing barriers that may impede their entry into the field. Representation matters, and having female teachers provides important role models for both male and female students.

The connection between language and education is very visible and paramount. Language has a profound impact on education. Many children start school with knowledge of concepts in their mother tongue but cannot relate to the same concepts in school because they are unfamiliar with the language of the classroom. In order to fully realise the benefits of education in the mother tongue, it is essential for policymakers and educators to recognise the importance of language as a tool for learning and development.
