In a crucial address themed “Smart Basic Education and the Future of Africa” at the Union Secondary School’s convention, Enugu State’s Secretary, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, uncovered a grave issue.

A recent Baseline Assessment revealed a shocking reality: 50% of primary school pupils in Enugu struggle with fundamental skills like reading English and solving basic math problems after six years of schooling. Even those who read face comprehension challenges. This alarming trend isn’t isolated but mirrors a nationwide crisis, prompting urgent calls for comprehensive educational reforms to bridge the learning gap and prepare students for the future.
