Over 5,000 out-of-school children have returned to the classroom, courtesy of Oando’s Foundational Learning Improvement Programme (FLIP), implemented under its LEARNOVATE strategy.
Tonia Uduimoh, Head of the Oando Foundation, speaking at the foundation’s strategy dissemination activities held in Abuja recently, said the event marked the conclusion of the pilot phase and brought together education stakeholders to review programme results and discuss scaling strategies. Uduimoh explained that FLIP, launched in 2024, was piloted in 60 public primary schools across six local government areas in Ebonyi, Plateau, and Sokoto States.
“The programme addresses literacy and numeracy challenges among pupils in Primary one to three, and offers remedial support for older pupils who have progressed without mastering foundational skills. Not fewer than 5,162 out-of-school children were re-enrolled, with more than 2,000 of them receiving learning materials,” she said.
