Education Minister calls for evidence-based response to learning crisis in West Africa

29, GNA – Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education, on Tuesday urged policymakers, researchers and development partners to use evidence to guide investments in addressing the learning crisis in West Africa.

These challenges underscore the urgent need to strengthen education in emergencies through coordinated humanitarian and development action, increased investment, and inclusive learning opportunities that ensure all crisis-affected children can access safe, quality education.

Mr Iddrisu said the conference was necessary and timely, particularly as the West African subregion faced disasters and conflicts that disrupted access to and delivery of education.
