In 2023, the PLANE Programme worked closely with government partners to strengthen education delivery by improving foundational learning skills in 2,544 basic education schools, across three states (Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa) in Nigeria. Through this engagement, 8,202 headteachers were trained on school leadership and management, and 10,845 teachers were trained on 21st-century pedagogy, subject content knowledge as well as attitude and behaviour. Over 550,000 learners were provided Hausa literacy and mathematics learning materials to improve their capacity to participate in classroom activities and learn by doing. Results from PLANE’s Year One learning assessment on primary one, four and six leaners in PLANE-supported schools, showed that compared to the baseline results, 36.4% of learners increased a level in Hausa literacy, while 47.1% of learners increased a level in mathematics.
