In October 2023 and July 2024, PLANE and government partners collected learning outcomes data in Primary 2 and 3 in Kaduna state, using the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) and Early Grade Math Assessment (EGMA), with 6 LGAs and 43 schools sampled. Learners improved during the 2023-2024 school year, with children performing higher overall in mathematics. However, children did not quite meet the 50% improvement target set for the year.

Nigerian children are not learning foundational skills – maths, basic reading and writing in Hausa and in English.

From 2017 to 2021 FCDO funded three Education in Emergencies (EiE) programmes in North-East Nigeria under two portfolios: The North-East Transition to Development Programme (NENTAD) during an initial stage and the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria
(PLANE) thereafter. Two programmes were fully funded by FCDO and implemented by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). For the third programme FCDO provided top-up funds for one of the components of USAID’s Addressing Education in Northeast Nigeria (AENN)

The Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) programme, funded by the UK Government’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is supporting state governments in Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa states, to strengthen the quality assurance process in non-state schools, using Graded Assessment tools.

The PLANE intervention focuses on global best practices for improving foundation learning skills, prioritising the use of a child’s first language in education while also focusing on the professional development of teachers through a cascade model.

For transformative education to take place, students must learn in an environment that is safe and conducive and encourages an equal opportunity to thrive, irrespective of background.

PLANE facilitated the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2023 between First City Monument Bank (FCMB) and The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS.

The Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) programme has an objective to improve the collaboration between government and non-state education systems as it relates to service delivery, accountability and financing

With support from the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) programme, the state governments in Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa have now introduced the use of an Education Dashboard technology to help them in tracking and reporting school support visits and results in real-time.
