LAGOS — Education stakeholders have called for public-private partnerships to reduce Nigeria's out-of-school population, which they put at more than 10 million. They spoke at the first Education that Works Summit, held at the University of Lagos and organised by the Auctus Social Transformation Initiative with the Khadijat Okonnu Leadership Foundation and One Million Teachers. The convener, Prof. Akin Akinpelu, was represented by Programmes Manager Dr Omam Agboro, who said stakeholders have been working in isolation and the summit put teachers' views first. Olarenrewaju Oniyitan, an education systems and policy expert, said public money should support affordable non-state schools already serving poor communities, rather than handing public schools to private operators. Finnish education consultant Kimmo Kumpulainen called for digital tools and new grading models to make learning more inclusive. Students, teachers, policymakers and education technology founders attended.
