Minister Restates Nigeria’s Commitment to Transformative Education
The Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, has restated Nigeria’s commitment to qualitative and transformative education.
Prof Mamman spoke on Friday while participating in the prestigious Ministerial Leadership Forum at the Harvard University, Massachusetts, United States.
The event, hosted by Harvard Kennedy School’s Centre for International Development, focused on “Getting to Equity and Scale in Successful Education Programmes” as part of the Global Education and Research Unleashing Potential (GEAR UP) Initiative.
This high-profile event brought together 23 ministers from various countries to explore strategies for recognising successful educational initiatives and ensuring equitable access for students worldwide.
Mamman participated in a panel discussion alongside Education Ministers from other African countries, including Dr. Haja Ramatulai Wurie of Sierra Leone and Dr. Torerayi Moyo of Zimbabwe.
He shared insights on Nigeria’s educational reform efforts, emphasising the importance of infusing originality, communication, and digital skills into school curricula from primary to secondary levels.
