REVITALIZING ADULT AND YOUTH LITERACY IN NIGERIA

REPORT ON THE WORKSHOP ON DEVELOPING A NATIONAL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR ADULT AND YOUTH

LITERACY IN NIGERIA

Abuja, Nigeria 13th – 15th March 2012

2

Introduction

In order to accelerate and underpin the national efforts to achieve EFA goals, namely goals

3, 4 and 5, the Government of Nigeria mobilised internal resources, and signed a

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNESCO for the implementation of a 3-year

project developed by UNESCO, and entitled Revitalizing Adult and Youth Literacy in Nigeria.

In the framework of the implementation of that project, UNESCO Abuja Office, in

collaboration with the National Commission for Mass Literacy Adult and Non-Formal

Education (NMEC) and the Nigerian National Commission for UNESCO, organised a 3-day

Workshop on National Strategic Framework for Adult and Youth Literacy in Nigeria from 13th

-15th March 2012. The main objective of the workshop was to develop a comprehensive and

strategic framework for adult and youth literacy in Nigeria.

Participants

The participants included senior government officials from the Federal Ministries and

specialized agencies concerned with education, planning, youth, literacy, as well as the

representatives of IDPs, CSOs and NGOs, professional bodies and the Economic Community

of West African Countries (ECOWAS). The experts were from UNESCO Headquarters,

BREDA, UIL and the academia. A detailed list of participants and the agenda of the meeting

are attached to this report.

Opening Session

The representative of the Minister of State for Education (HMSE), the Senior Special

Assistant to the Minister chaired the Opening Ceremony supported by the Director, Federal

Inspectorate Service, who represented the Permanent Secretary.

In the welcome remarks by the Permanent Secretary delivered by the Executive Secretary,

National Commission for Mass Literacy (NMEC) he pledged the Ministry’s commitment

towards the implementation of the outcome of the meeting and urged participants to

articulate a credible and actionable outcome document to support literacy delivery in

Nigeria.

The Director/Country Representative, UNESCO Abuja, Dr. Joseph Ngu, acknowledged and

lauded the passion of the Honourable Minister to revamp adult and youth literacy in Nigeria

and pledged UNESCO’s continued support in the deployment of its invaluable knowledge and

expertise and technical assistance, to enable Nigeria achieve the international agreed goals

and targets. He also commended the cordial working relationship between his office and

NMEC, NATCOM, the NGOs, as well as the tireless contributions of the media towards the

promotion of the literacy agenda.

Dr. Venkata Subbarao Ilapavuluri, Chief Literacy Section, UNESCO Paris, in his presentation

Setting the Stage for the Workshop, noted that with barely 3 years to the 2015 EFA target

of reducing illiteracy rate by 50%, the forum provided an opportunity to dialogue on the

Nigerian project with a view to introducing new approaches and strengthening structures to

ultimately scale-up the existing literacy delivery processes that lack the desired drive. He

urged the participants to reflect on the pertinent issues emanating from available global and

3

national data, especially the facts that there are nearly 40 million illiterate youth and adults

and also that an estimated 8.6 million children are out of school in Nigeria. The speaker then

went on to outline the agenda of the workshop and the expected outcomes.

The Honourable Minister of State for Education, in his opening remarks, informed that the

revitalization of adult and youth literacy in Nigeria was one of the priorities and a major

component of the transformation agenda of the present administration in view of the

numerous benefits of literacy to the individual as well as national development. He urged

the experts and stakeholders present to ensure that the outcome document would translate

into a programme that would enhance the literacy levels in the country and go beyond the

rudimentary reading and writing to functional life-skills for employment generation, wealth

creation and poverty reduction.

Session 1

Current literacy scenario and goal setting, by Dr Iyabo Fagbulu

The presenter gave an overview of the current status of literacy in Nigeria as provided in the

National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Literacy Survey (2010), Nigeria Country Profile to the E9

Ministerial Meeting (2010), the Nigeria State of Education Report (2011) and the Global EFA

Monitoring Report (2011). The data estimates the total Nigerian population at 154,774,091

of which 40m are adult illiterates with only 500,000 presently enrolled in adult literacy

classes. The survey puts the overall literacy rate (based on ability to read and write in

English and/or in any other language) at 56.9% and 7 million out –of –school children which

accounts for about 10% of the total out-of-school children in the world. The survey also

reflects a huge variation in literacy rates between States, regions and between men and

women.

Nigeria is one of the African countries that is at risk of not achieving the EFA goals by 2015.

However the Revitalizing Adult and Youth Literacy Programme is a step in the right direction

and is the first deliberate action by Nigeria to accelerate progress towards achieving EFA

goal 4. In the past, activities geared at promoting literacy particularly in the non-formal

education sector had nearly always been funded by IDPs with UNESCO being at the fore

front. In conclusion, she called for stronger political will and a national operational strategy

to foster cooperation and collaboration among national agencies, stakeholders and IDPs to

raise public awareness, mobilize fund, provide legal/ institutional backing, as well as

strengthen existing structures in literacy programme implementation to reach out to the

large illiterate population.

Review the Policy Framework: Is it inclusive and enabling? by Professor Thomas

Fasokun

The paper recalled that the main objective of Adult and non formal Education in the

National Policy on Education (2004) is to “provide functional literacy for adults and youths

who have never had the advantage of formal education or who did not complete their

primary and secondary education...” and that there were adequate institutional

4

arrangements to achieve the objective. However, the bane of effective adult and literacy

programme in Nigeria is poor funding. The presenter opined that the National Policy was

inclusive as it made provision for all ages and groups, including the hitherto marginalised

but the enabling environment for quality literacy provision was lacking. He therefore

advocated for greater political commitment of government at all levels and increase of

budgetary allocation for adult and youth literacy promoting programmes as well as greater

collaboration among all tiers of government, IDPs, NGOs and civil society groups.

In the discussion that followed, there was a general consensus that there was the need to

review some aspects of the policy as well as the Act establishing the National Commission

for Mass Education to make them more comprehensive. A multi-sectoral approach to

literacy was suggested. The precise elements that need to be incorporated into the existing

policies will have to be quickly identified and the issue taken up with the policy makers with

the help of UNESCO, Abuja.

Session 2

Enhancing the Effectiveness of Literacy Programmes: Focus on Multilingual and

literate environments, by Dr. Yao YDO, UNESCO Dakar Office

The presenter emphasised functional literacy for empowerment and socio-economic

development and noted that creating a literate environment (including digital literacy) was

the key prerequisite for successful literacy programmes. He insisted on the importance of

having a clear literate environment strategy before any literacy programme implementation.

This can be achieved by promoting reading and writing for all ages, in all available and

codified languages. On multilingualism, Dr YDO insisted on the need to balance mother

tongue with international languages because competencies are better acquired by learners

in their own indigenous languages. Reading materials which promote local knowledge and

values as well as cultures and traditions should be developed to promote a multilingual

literate environment at home, community, learning centres and work places. Opportunities

should also be offered to adults who wish to learn foreign languages for professional or

functional reasons.

Apart from the educational and cultural dimensions, literacy for socioeconomic development

should be tied to income generating activities, used to promote family and community

health, gender equality and sustainable development and to achieve enlightened citizenship

and human rights protection. An effective strategic framework for literacy should therefore

incorporate these dimensions and promote publishing of books in indigenous languages and

the use of ICTs such as mobile phones. Concluding, the speaker shared some good practices

from some African countries, where effective multilingualism and mother tongue -based

literate environments had been created, to enhance literacy and youth skills development

through promotion of TVET and entrepreneurship.

During the interactive session that followed, participants decried the overemphasis on

English language and endorsed multilingualism as well as linking literacy to poverty

eradication by incorporating entrepreneurship into training modules. While noting that the

5

strengthening of the literacy by radio programme was required, a multi-pronged approach in

programme delivery involving radio, television and face-face was advocated. In addition,

post literacy programmes should emphasise the facilitation of effective use of newly

acquired literacy skills to enlarge the livelihood options and improve the quality of life of the

learners.

Session 3

Instituting a Sustainable Monitoring and Evaluation System including Literacy

Assessment , by Dr. Marc Bernal, UIS Regional Advisor for Sub-Sahara Africa, Dakar.

The presenter outlined the mandate and operations of the UNESCO Institute of Statistics,

which include the collection, interpretation and dissemination of cross-national comparative

data on different domains of education as well as capacity building for Member States. A

detailed description of the UIS Literacy Assessment and Monitoring Programme (LAMP) was

provided including its objectives, instruments, implementation modalities and sustainability.

While noting that international comparability was of high importance, Mr Bernal stated that

a country willing to use the programme must have the political will and provide a national

team that the UIS will work with while providing the technical support. An estimated

timeframe for LAMP implementation is a minimum of 2 years to conclude and the status of

implementation in some countries where it has been used was highlighted.

Participants noted the merits of LAMP but were generally not well disposed to its use in the

strategic framework considering the cost and the timeframe for implementation. It was

noted that the National Literacy Survey conducted in 2010 has produced data that could be

further analysed to help literacy programmes implementation.

Session 4

Advocacy and partnerships for literacy by Dr Joseph Ngu, Director/Country

Representative, UNESCO Abuja

The paper made the economic case for investing in literacy, the reasons for advocating for

literacy and the reasons for forging effective partnerships and collaboration for literacy

education in Nigeria. The presenter reiterated the importance of pledging support for

literacy by all implementing agencies (FME, NMEC, NCNE, SAME) and also suggested

increased decentralization in education and budgetary allocation for literacy by States. On

partnerships, collaboration between the public and private sectors was emphasised.

During the discussion that ensued, participants agreed that advocacy at the community level

involving religious and traditional leaders, development associations; trade union association

and eminent persons would generate interest for literacy at the grassroots, which was

critical. Advocacy for policy makers and political players as well as the role of universities in

the development of learning materials were also noted.

Session 5

National Youth Strategic Framework by Mr A. P. Abo, Federal Ministry of Youth

Development

The National Youth Strategic Framework was developed in 2007 with the aim of translating

the revised National Youth Policy into actionable plans and with the vision of empowering

the Nigerian youth to become self reliant and socially responsible citizens. The framework

has 18 thematic areas cutting across all the sectors of the economy to enable youth to lead

a productive and responsible life. These include, among others, education, agriculture,

employment, health, science and conflict prevention, with education being the fulcrum for

achieving all other objectives. In this regard, the framework recommends activities and

strategies that provide access to learning, vocational training and ICTs for youth and

specifically to the girls and those with special needs.

The speaker observed that although there has been considerable investment in addressing

adult and youth literacy in Nigeria, challenges such as high illiteracy rate and low spending

in the sector has hindered the effective implementation of the National Youth Strategic

Framework.

Experiences from NGOs

The various NGOs concerned with adult and youth literacy shared their experiences in the

implementation of related programmes.

The Non-Governmental Association for Literacy Support Services (NOGALSS):

This is an umbrella body of all NGOs involved in adult literacy delivery which was established

in May 1993. It has chapters in all the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT and its

vision is to compliment government’s efforts in literacy and development especially, at the

grass roots level. The body is also engaged in advocacy, mobilization, information sharing

and provision of basic and post literacy services including continuing education and skills

acquisition centres. The problems of the NGOs include inadequate governmental support,

poor funding and lack of support by relevant agencies.

The Nigerian National Council on Adult Education (NNCAE) is the professional

association concerned with promoting adult literacy through information sharing of good

practices, through publication and organization of workshops for capacity building.

The Northern Education Initiative (NEI) is a system strengthening project initiated and

funded by USAID in 3 selected states in the northern part of Nigeria. Its operation is aimed

at strengthening state and local government capacities in basic and adult and youth literacy

delivery and to increase access to the education of vulnerable groups. NEI activities also

involve training of volunteer facilitators as a gateway to access the 80 centres it established

in the 3 selected states in the areas of advocacy, provision of facilities, etc.

2004-2015 States’ Strategic Plans: Update on Implementation, Challenges and

the Way Forward

Representatives from the States’ Agencies of Mass Education from the six geo-political zones

presented reports on the implementation of their strategic plans including the challenges

faced and proposed way forward. A summary of the presentations is as follows:

South West

Participants noted and commended the exceptional innovations and initiatives of the Ondo

State government in South West, in adult and youth literacy. This is the only State that

recently created the Ministry of Adult, Technical and Vocational Education. The Ministry was

empowered to institute programmes, establish baseline data, set up women training centres

and 28 skills acquisition centres in all the local government areas. It also established

functional M&E offices in each LGA for effective monitoring of activities and engaged in

training facilitators and the payment of N10, 000 as monthly allowance to 609 facilitators

which is above the recommended N7, 500.

South-South Zone:

It was reported that the Government of Cross Rivers State had enforced compulsory basic

education which had resulted in increase in enrolment in both formal and the non-formal

education sectors. It has supported literacy programmes through the provision of free air

time on the State Radio for educational broadcasts with the support of technical and

learning materials from UNESCO and NMEC.

North West Zone:

The presenter reported on advocacy and sensitization activities, as well as the establishment

of centres to cater especially to female learners and youth.

South East Zone (Imo State)

The report acknowledged the State government’s efforts to increase access to education at

all levels of learning especially, for the street children and in the promotion of the Igbo

language as medium of instruction. The report also noted that more girls and women

participate in adult and youth literacy programmes although there is an on-going action

through partnerships with the IDPs for advocacy and media campaigns to encourage the

boy – child participation.

During the discussion that followed, the need to address the learning needs of the youth to

meaningfully engage them in productive skills in order to avert youth restiveness and social

vices was reiterated. It was also agreed that partnerships with the Ministries of Women

Affairs and Youth Development as well as with NGOs and CSOs would further boost

Government interventions in adult and youth literacy. Some participants questioned the

reliability of some of the data provided in the presentations and were of the opinion that

they were a reflection of either under-reporting or inflation of figures in some cases. The

participants however noted that the latest NBS National Survey in reference, was conducted

in 2010 and since then some remarkable good practices initiated by some State

8

Governments may have significantly increased literacy levels at both the formal and non-

formal education sectors.

Working Groups session

The draft National Strategic Framework was developed by five working groups on the

following themes:

i) Policy dialogue and advocacy; ii) Strengthening national capacity to design, deliver and monitor quality literacy

programme;

iii) Literate environments; iv) Partnerships; v) Monitoring and evaluation.

The reports of the groups were presented for comments and improvement in plenary

sessions. The revised versions are attached to this report.

Recommendations:

1. It was agreed that the project should be implemented in a phased manner as follows:

• Initiation stage (3 LGAs in each of the 36 States);

• Expansion stage;

• Consolidation stage.

2. The estimated number to be reached during the programme is 4 to 5 million adults and 2 million out-of school children.

3. From the presentations by the working groups and the interactions during the closing session, the following activities/actions were proposed:

i) Submission of final and reversed version of the framework by each group- 22nd March 2012.

ii) Final version with inputs from UNESCO Headquarters, BREDA, UIL, UIS- 31st March 2012.

iii) Establishment of 5 task forces of small membership (not more than 6), on the various thematic areas, to articulate actions.

a. Advocacy and systematic community based action to identify youth and adult illiterates and out -of –school children and elaboration of a strategy for

literate environment (including digital devices)

b. Review/refine existing literacy curriculum and teaching learning materials c. Development of integrated training modules targeted at different groups. d. Development of a comprehensive equivalency and certification system for a

credible non-formal education pathway.

9

e. Set up sustainable monitoring and evaluation mechanism including literacy assessment.

iv) Deployment of a National Programme Officer for Education to the UNESCO Office Abuja to drive the process (UNESCO HQ will be contacted for that).

v) Preparatory Activities – May –September 2012 including: vi) Create a Website for the Revitalization programme to provide a platform for

information sharing and exchange of ideas and experiences

vii) vii) 8th September 2012- International Literacy Day- Big launch of teaching/ learning process.

Two recommendations were made to the Nigerian Government and to

UNESCO, as following:

1. To the government of Nigeria: Declare the year 2013 National Literacy Year, and take measures for country mobilisation for the promotion of literacy.

2. To UNESCO: To augment the staffing of the Abuja Office for efficient and timely delivery.
