Three programs have been made provision for in the 2016 budget which are
geared towards reviving the education sector and giving it a face lift
in the year 2016.
Science & Tech free education programme
In December, the FGN disclosed plans to offer free education to science
technology students through a cash-transfer programme; this would be
carried out in phases. It is likely that the FGN expects to execute this
from the N500bn (US$2.5bn) social welfare intervention earmarked in
this year’s proposed budget.
Free daily meal to primary school pupils
Another means of giving the education sector a facelift include the
daily meals to primary school pupils across the country via the Home
Grown School Feeding programme.
Teach Nigeria Scheme
The federal government has proposed hiring 500,000 graduates under the Teach Nigeria Scheme.
