There are almost 9 million children of primary school age who don’t go to school in Nigeria (UIS 2010 estimate). The country also faces the Boko Haram insurgency in the North, which impacts school attendance, especially for girls. A new report to be released on Monday by UNESCO and UNICEF and funded by the Global Partnership, analyzes the worldwide population of children and adolescents who are out of school.
