WALKFOREDUCATION

To mark human rights day 2021, the FlexiSAF Foundation is organizing its first fitness and advocacy walk, tagged “Walk for Education''. Keying into the United Nations Human Rights’s (UNHR) generic call to action “Stand Up for Human Rights'', the  “Walk for Education'' is established in furtherance of the foundation’s vision and mandate to give qualitative  education and educational access to indigent children, this time through civic engagement and advocacy. FlexiSAF Foundation over the years has consistently through its numerous educational projects, given access and enrolled more than 800 indigent and vulnerable beneficiaries in schools, this the foundation does through well thought out projects and interventions tailored to meet these children’s peculiar needs. Our projects have been lauded at different times by international and domestic agencies, government and private organizations, and educational institutions.

EDUCATION MARATHON

According to a report by UNICEF(2022), 70 percent of children in Nigerian schools are in school but not learning. Globally, Nigeria also faces the biggest shortage of teachers, accounting for 12% of the global total. It is interesting to note that many of these challenges, including teacher capacity, are linked to public as opposed to private schools, and if not properly tackled, will put millions of Nigerian children at risk of poor quality of life in future. Following these widening disparities between the private  and public schools and its attendant effects on the access to education and proper education management, there is a need to pursue every legitimate and logical means to bridge this `lacuna. Furthermore, beyond the policy-cum-intellectual solutions to fixing these issues, and the advocacy currently in place to push for the enrollment of more out of school children in Nigeria, there is an obvious demand to look at other means (including recreation) to bring these rather nagging matters to the fore.

This event is in furtherance of the Organization’s vision and mandate to give qualitative and inclusive education access to indigent out-of-school children, whilst advocating for the same for all vulnerable children, this time through productive civic engagement and  recreational activities amongst children of different backgrounds and economic leanings.
