The European Union and UNICEF have renewed their commitment to transforming education in Kano State and across Northern Nigeria.
The partnership aims to drastically reduce the number of out-of-school children and upgrade classroom learning outcomes.
European Union Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Gautier Mignot, affirmed this during an inspection tour of funded Tsangaya and integrated school projects in Kano.
The historic Tsangaya Qur’anic School in the ancient city of Kano began in 1940 with just fifteen learners.
Today, it stands as a symbol of educational growth
The visiting delegation toured the integrated model, where pupils merged traditional religious studies with modern literacy, mathematics, and language learning.
The EU-funded intervention is targeted to impact one-point-two million children across multiple states. School administrators told the delegation that three hundred and fifty pupils are currently thriving under this integrated curriculum.
The project hopes to continue bridging the gap between traditional and formal education systems in the region.
