The Kaduna State Ministry of Education has sought media partnership and contributions towards reducing what it called ‘learning poverty’.
Learning poverty involves two dimensions affecting those who were out of school and those in the school but could not read and write.
Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Education, Halliru Soba sought the partnership at a meeting with media personnel on Tuesday.
Adressing the media personnel, Soba said the partnership had become imperative as parts of efforts geared towards reducing the number of out-of-school children.
He said in 2022, the back to school campaign would continue to use 177 mother associations as a measure, different from the previous strategies, by expanding the scope to reach more organisations on the campaign.
He noted that about 91,024 pupils were returned to school through the strategies.
