With children under 15 years of age accounting for about 45 per cent of the country’s population, the burden on education and other sectors has become overwhelming.

Forty per cent of Nigerian children aged 6-11 do not attend any primary school with the Northern region recording the lowest school attendance rate in the country, particularly for girls. Despite a significant increase in net enrollment rates in recent years, it is estimated that about 4.7 million children of primary school age are still not in school. Increased enrollment rates have also created challenges in ensuring quality education and satisfactory learning achievement as resources are spread more thinly across a growing number of students. It is not rare to see cases of 100 pupils per teacher or students sitting under trees outside the school building because of the lack of classrooms. This situation is being addressed by current efforts of the Nigerian Government with the implementation of the Basic Education scheme. The compulsory, free Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act was passed into law in 2004 and represents the Government’s strategy to fight illiteracy and extend basic education opportunities to all children in the country.

However the number of schools, facilities and teachers available for basic education remain inadequate for the eligible number of children and youths. This is more so in urban areas where there is population pressure. Under these conditions, teaching and learning cannot be effective; hence the outcomes are usually below expectation. Another challenge in Nigeria is the issue of girls’ education. In the North particularly, the gender gap remains particularly wide and the proportion of girls to boys in school ranges from 1 girl to 2 boys to 1 to 3 in some States. Many children do not attend school because their labour is needed to either help at home or to bring additional income into the family. Many families cannot afford the associated costs of sending their children to school such as uniforms and textbooks. For others, the distance to the nearest school is a major hindrance. Another cause of low enrolment, especially in the North, is cultural bias. Most parents do not send their children, especially girls, to school and prefer to send them to Qur’anic schools rather than formal schools.

Even when children enrol in schools, many do not complete the primary cycle.  According to current data, 30% of pupils drop out of primary school and only 54% transit to Junior Secondary Schools. Reasons for this low completion rate include child labour, economic hardship and early marriage for girls. In the last few years, especially since the launching of the Universal Basic Education Act, much has been achieved in the reconstruction of dilapidated school buildings and construction of new ones, supply of desks and other needed furniture as well as the provision of toilet facilities. However, the child friendly school concept, which UNICEF is advocating for, is not comprehensively adopted by the various States in Nigeria. A majority of primary schools, especially in rural areas, lack water, electricity and toilet facilities. For example, on average, there is only one toilet for 600 pupils in the primary school system. Despite political commitment to trying to reverse years of neglect in the education sector and a significant increase of the Federal funding, investment in basic education is still low compared to other Sub-Saharan countries.

For all these reasons, prospects of Nigeria achieving Education For All by 2015 remain frail.There are many different accommodation options for international students in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. •   Accommodation owned by the school, college or university (often known as halls of •   Boarding schools (suitable for pupils up to the age of 18), •   Private accommodation (where you rent from a private landlord), •   Homestay accommodation (where you stay with a UK family or guardian). See below for details of these types of accommodation. Finding accommodation where you feel safe, happy and secure is important. When deciding where to live, do your research – ask the accommodation manager/owner, campus staff or any students who live there, questions such as: •  How close is the accommodation to my place of study? •  How safe is the area? •  Are there good public transport links? •  Which facilities are shared with other students?

•  Is it quiet enough for studying and sleeping? •  What do the accommodation costs include? If you need to pay for utilities (gas, electricity and water), for example, how much do they usually cost per month? Will you need to bring your own kitchen equipment, bedding or any furniture? You may be offered accommodation in a hall of residence, where you will have your own bedroom but share facilities such as the kitchen with other students. This can be a fantastic way to make friends, and is often good value for money too. A hall of residence usually has a member of staff living on the premises. They are there to check the hall runs smoothly and to give you advice or support. Most halls welcome both female and male students, but there is a usually single sex hall for male students and a single sex hall for female students on each campus too. Your bedroom is likely to have a bed, desk, bookshelves and possibly a sink. Bathrooms are usually shared.

Most halls have a social room where you can chat and watch TV with your fellow students, and some also have a quiet room for study, a small library and a prayer room, which students of any religion can use. When it comes to food, halls can be catered, self-catered or part-catered. Check what is included in your accommodation fees. Also check if your fees cover cleaning, use of the laundry facilities and a TV licence, and if there are any additional costs you will need to meet. University students usually live in halls for their first year. If your course lasts for more than a year, you may be able to stay in halls for the subsequent years too. If not, you will have to find private accommodation. Your college or university may be able to help you arrange this, or offer managed properties (private accommodation managed by the college or university). At a boarding school (a residential school for pupils up to age 18), each student is usually assigned to a ‘house’ where you have a bedroom or a bed in a shared room or dormitory.

Each house has at least one member of staff living on the premises to look after you. You normally receive all your meals, and your laundry will usually be taken care of too. Find out more in Life at a UK boarding school. It can be great fun being a boarder. Your house will typically organise parties and events so you will have lots of opportunities to make friends. In co-educational schools, boys and girls have separate sleeping accommodation, though there may be some common social areas. There are lots of single sex schools too. Your opinion of the boarding accommodation is likely to be one of the biggest factors in your choice of school. It’s really useful to visit the UK before you accept a place, if you can, to check you are happy with the facilities. Many UK students live in private, rented accommodation. This is especially popular for students in the second year of their studies and onwards. You can rent a place on your own, or share with other students. Sharing is common for students in the UK – it can help to reduce your costs and can be fun and sociable.

You might live in a two-, three- or four-bedroom house, for example, where you will have your own bedroom but share the bathroom, kitchen and living areas with other students. If you plan to rent, think about costs for utilities (gas, electricity and water) and a TV licence. Most student accommodation is already furnished, but you may need to provide your own items such as kitchen utensils and bedding. Have a look at the Money section for tips on living costs and budgeting. 'Council tax' is a fee charged to UK households to cover local government services – roads, street lighting, waste collection, etc. Households where everyone is a full-time student don’t have to pay council tax, but it is best to check. Find out more on the gov.uk website. Places to search for private accommodation include: Before you move in, you may have to pay a deposit and sign a contract. Please see the UKCISA website for more advice about this. A 'homestay' is where you live with a UK family in their own home.

Homestays are especially popular with English language students or younger students. They can be a great opportunity to experience UK culture first-hand. Talk to your school, college or university to see if they can help you arrange this, or try companies such as Hosts International and British Homestays. When you first arrive, or if you have any family or friends coming to visit you in the UK, you may need to find short-term accommodation. Hotels and ‘bed and breakfasts’ (often called ‘B&Bs’, or guesthouses) can sometimes be expensive, but you can find discounts online. Youth hostels and backpacker hostels are often a cheap alternative – look online or ask your institution to recommend hostels in your area. Graduate Prospects runs UK graduate careers website prospects.ac.uk. Here, the experts share their advice for student accommodation. Finding somewhere to call home is one of the most important decisions you'll face, so familiarise yourself with the process before starting your journey.

It's important to start making housing arrangements as soon as possible – as early as receiving the acceptance letter from your school, college or university. If you’re looking for private accommodation, your institution should be able to help you find listings for private letting companies and landlords in the area. Other good places to search include SpareRoom, Flatmaterooms and Easy Roommate. When it comes to contracts, be clear from the beginning – understanding your contract is important, whatever your accommodation arrangements. If you breach this agreement you may be subject to fines, eviction, or court action. Take your time to read the document, or ask someone to double-check it – such as your students' union or the Citizens Advice Bureau. Make a copy of the contract and keep it – you may need to refer back to it if any questions or problems arise during your tenancy. Check for extra costs: Aside from your rent, are there any more expenses involved?

Landlords and letting agents sometimes charge administration fees in addition to your deposit. Don't transfer any money until after you have signed the contract. Pay close attention to the inventory: If you are renting private housing or university-managed property, you should be given an inventory (ask for it if you aren’t given one) – a list of the contents of the property and the condition of each item. This allows you to prove that you did not cause damage, and therefore are entitled to receive your deposit back in full when you move out. Make sure that everyone you live with has a copy, and that it’s signed and dated. Be aware of other necessary documentation: For example, tenants should legally receive an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which rates the energy efficiency of the property.
