The UN system in Nigeria says in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic and insurgency, it has resorted to using radio stations to transmit education programmes to children in Borno to ensure continuity of learning.
Dr Judith Giwa-Amu, the National Coordinator, Education in Emergencies (EIE) Coordination, a programme under the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
Speaking to NAN on the commemoration of the International Day for the Protection of Education from Attack, Giwa-Amu said education under attack went beyond physical attack.
She said that education was under attack when children could not have access to education
She said that to this end, the EIE had developed means of teaching children through radio broadcast to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning.
