A child’s future should never be limited to one path. Religious learning builds values. Formal education builds skills. When we give children both, we are not choosing one over the other, we are giving them the fullness of opportunity. PLANE is proud to support the @ncaoosce in ensuring every Almajiri and out-of-school child can access quality, equitable education. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #EducationForAll @UKinNigeria @DAIGlobal @AREWA24Channel @ncaoosce @NigEducation @trcn_ng @ubecnigeria

Last week in Kano State, we commemorated the 2026 International Day of Education (IDE) with the State Universal Basic Education Board and the National Union of Teachers (NUT) across four intervention LGAs. The event celebrated teachers’ dedication, recognising 20 outstanding teachers (5 per LGA) with certificates. Also, 80 pupils (20 per LGA) participated in school-based academic competitions, receiving school bags and uniforms as incentives to support school attendance. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #EducationReform #EducateEveryChild #IDE2026

In January, PLANE worked with SUBEBs in Kano, Kaduna, and Jigawa to strengthen English Language teaching in public primary schools. Over six days, more than 1,600 teachers from 380 schools received practical training to improve their teaching skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. With PLANE’s support, Kaduna SUBEB trained 828 teachers from 138 schools across six LGAs. Kano reached 484 teachers from 115 schools in four LGAs. Jigawa supported 337 teachers from 132 schools across seven LGAs. Together, this initiative is expected to benefit thousands of pupils in Primary 1 to 3, supporting their transition from Hausa to English Language. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #TeachersTraining #EducationReform

The PLANE Programme is delighted to join the Federal Government of Nigeria and other development partners in celebrating outstanding Nigerian teachers at the National Teachers’ Summit, holding in Abuja from 27–28 January 2026. Speaking at the opening session of the summit yesterday, Mr Ian Attfield, Senior Education Advisor at the British High Commission, reaffirmed the UK’s strong commitment to supporting Nigerian teachers, highlighting their dedication in challenging contexts and the need for sustained investment in teacher development, equitable deployment and reliable education financing. Also contributing, Dr Gboyega Ilusanya, National Team Lead of the PLANE Programme, spoke during a panel session on Transforming the Teaching Profession, highlighting PLANE’s impact across parts of the North West and North East, particularly in Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa States. Through partnerships with State Ministries of Education and UBEC, PLANE has reached 4,000 schools, 60,000 teachers and over 2.1 million learners. Day 1 was attended by the First Lady of Nigeria, the Minister of Education, Minister of State for Education and other top government officials.

As an Almajiri boy, Yakubu once stood outside the classroom, watching from a distance. Today, with support from PLANE, he is enrolled in a formal school and taking confident steps towards a brighter future. This #EducationDay, our message is clear: every child deserves the opportunity to learn. Together, we can create more opportunities and remove barriers, so every child, no matter where they start, can reach their full potential. #PLANEProgramme #EducationForAll #DayofEducation2026 #NigeriaEducation @UKinNigeria @DAIGlobal @AttfieldIan @mikabarau @NigEducation @trcn_ng @ubecnigeria @fhi360 @TEPCentre

In 2025, the PLANE Window 1 programme, led by DAI, reached its midline after more than three years of implementation in Nigeria. With the support of our partners, the programme is strengthening education systems and supporting over 1.8 million learners to stay in school and succeed. Results in PLANE-supported schools show steady progress: • Approximately 56% of learners meet or exceed foundational literacy levels • Over 80% meet or exceed foundational numeracy levels • Primary 4 learners read 13.5 words per minute, compared to 3.8 words in non-supported schools Find out more about our learning outcomes in our latest newsletter: planenigeria.com/.../Plane_Q…... #EducationForAll #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #Newsletter

Inclusive education works best when everyone plays their part, from teachers and parents to policymakers and community leaders. Each stakeholder has a vital role to play in shaping policies, improving practices, and creating learning environments where every child feels included and supported. Together, we can build a system that leaves no learner behind. 📘 Learn more about the National Policy on Inclusive Education in Nigeria and how it’s helping to make this vision a reality:  education.gov.ng/inclusive-e… #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme

PLANE has been supporting organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) and partner agencies working on disability inclusion issues to strengthen the disability landscape across Jigawa, Kano and Kaduna states. Suleiman Abdulazeez, head of Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) Kaduna State, highlights the importance of community sensitisation and representation in schools. He explains that seeing teachers with disabilities inspires parents and encourages inclusive education for all children. #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), PLANE reaffirms its commitment to creating learning environments that are truly accessible and inclusive. Education has the power to unlock potential, but only when every student is given the tools, support, and opportunities they deserve. As we continue to break barriers and champion equitable learning, we move closer to a future where every classroom welcomes all learners, and every learner feels seen, valued, and able to thrive. #IDPD #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme

Education without gender bias builds a future of equality. When girls and boys learn side by side with the same opportunities and respect, they carry those values into their homes, communities, and the world. Education plants the seeds of fairness and grows the leaders of tomorrow. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #EducationForAll #GirlsEducation #Inclusion #NigeriaEducation #GESI #Empowerment

On this International Day of the Girl, we celebrate the courage and brilliance of girls who are breaking barriers, rewriting norms, and leading change in their homes, schools, and communities. This year’s theme, “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis,” reminds us of the urgent need to keep girls learning and thriving, even in the most challenging circumstances. When girls are educated, safe, and supported, they become powerful agents of change in their families, communities, and nations. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #EducationForAll #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild

In celebration of the 2025 World Teachers’ Day, themed “Recasting Teaching as a Collaborative Profession,” FCDO-PLANE Nigeria joined the @KadunaSubeb and other partners to recognise 115 outstanding teachers across all 23 local government areas of the state. The Kaduna State Government honoured each top awardee with a ₦500,000 cash prize and a plaque, while the overall best teacher received two plaques, two certificates, and ₦1,000,000. All winners will also benefit from scholarships and soft loans to further their careers and strengthen the education sector. This celebration not only honors the dedication of teachers but also highlights the importance of collaboration in the teaching profession. Together, we are creating an environment where teachers are empowered, supported, and celebrated for their invaluable contributions. #UKNGEducation #PLANEProgramme #EducationForAll #TeachersDay

Every school needs that one teacher who inspires a love for learning. At Wasai Special School in Kano, that teacher is Aminu. After PLANE’s training, Aminu improved his approach, making lessons more engaging, practical, and fun. The result?
