LEARN MOREJigawa State, situated in northern Nigeria, is known for its strong partnership with the state government in implementing educational reforms. PLANE has actively collaborated with education agencies and stakeholders in Jigawa to achieve milestones in policy development, community engagement, and capacity development.
The 2023 elections brought a Governor-Elect who is familiar with PLANE's supported reforms, providing an opportunity for continued engagement and support. Collaborations with PLANE Window Three and other FCDO programs have expanded partnerships, leading to involvement in various committees, policy fora, and community initiatives.
PLANE has worked closely with government and local government education authorities to mitigate these issues. Efforts are underway to improve school supervision, mentoring, and coaching, as well as recruit additional teachers for immediate deployment.
Kano State, located in northern Nigeria, has been a focus of PLANE's efforts to drive education reform and increase public-private partnerships (PPPs). The state has seen high-level engagements and strategic stakeholder meetings, demonstrating their commitment to education reform.
An opportunity for scaling up PLANE's foundational skills approach has emerged through collaboration with the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), a philanthropic organization operating in Northern Nigeria. Discussions are underway to develop a tripartite arrangement involving PLANE, ACF, and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to expand PLANE's work to additional Local Government Areas (LGAs).
These initiatives and engagements reflect PLANE's dedication to improving education outcomes and fostering partnerships in Kano State.
Kaduna State, located in northern Nigeria, is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse population. The state is committed to improving its education sector, and PLANE has played a crucial role in this endeavor.
PLANE's inclusive approach to programming has gained acceptance in Kaduna State, building trust, and improving service delivery. The program has provided technical assistance, research support, and strategic document reviews to enhance learning outcomes. Collaborations with education programs in the state have harmonized interventions and raised awareness about the importance of investing in education.
Despite challenges such as poor coordination among head teachers and multiple education programs, PLANE has worked with the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to address these issues. Efforts are underway to extend harmonization to all interventions and scale up accelerated learning approaches to benefit learners across grades 1-6.
