UNICEF Nigeria is partnering with TECNO Mobile to expand access to digital education under the global Learning Passport programme.
The initiative is geared towards bridging education gaps in hard-to-reach areas of Nigeria by equipping learners with the tools and platforms needed to thrive in the digital age.
In 2024, the programme recorded major milestones. It was expanded to Kwara and Osun states, extending its reach to more communities in need.
Across Nigeria, 44,800 learners, including 20,967 girls, benefitted from the Learning Passport platform, which provides quality digital education resources.
In Kano State alone, 4,354 learners, with 1,978 of them girls, were enrolled, with an impressive 86 per cent completion rate, underscoring both the relevance of the content and the commitment of the learners.
To sustain impact at the state level, UNICEF also trained 52 state technical teams, equipping them with the expertise required to support children’s digital learning in their respective regions.
The Learning Passport, a digital education platform developed in partnership with Microsoft and the University of Cambridge, is designed to provide continuous learning opportunities to children and young people, particularly in areas where access to quality education is limited.
