Education stakeholders from the South West sub-region recently convened for an education summit organised by the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission, with a focus on enhancing learning outcomes. 

Supported by the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE), a programme funded by the United Kingdom’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the summit brought together representatives from Osun, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Lagos states.

Over two days, participants engaged in discussions and shared ideas aimed at improving the educational system in the sub-region. 

The summit culminated in the development of a work plan designed to catalyze the educational sector toward achieving enhanced learning outcomes.
