I've been thinking about this almost every day. What would it actually take to ensure every single child in the South East is in school? I don't mean reducing the number of out-of-school children. I mean ZERO. I'm setting myself a target: Zero out-of-school children in the South East within the next 24 months. And within 4 years, I want us to drive illiteracy as close to zero as possible. I know it sounds ambitious. There are children out of school because of poverty. Some because of culture. Some because of religion. Some because they have to work. Others because there are barriers we've not even identified yet. But I genuinely believe this is a problem we can solve if we stop treating it as someone else's responsibility. So I'm asking for your help. If you had to achieve this, what would you do? I want practical ideas. Bold ideas. Crazy ideas. Lessons from other countries. Community-based solutions. Technology. Policy. Anything. I'll read every suggestion. If we can solve this in the South East, we'll create a blueprint that the rest of Nigeria and maybe even Africa can learn from.
