The Federal Government has started work on the Alternative School Programme (ASP), a special education initiative designed to engage out-of-school children nationwide.

This was disclosed by President Muhammadu Buhari via his Twitter handle on Wednesday after he presided over the Federal Executive Council meeting.

He tweeted, “We have just commenced work on an Alternate School Programme (ASP) as a special education initiative targeting out-of-school children nationwide. We must and will ensure that no Nigerian child is left behind in terms of appropriate basic education.

“In its initial implementation the ASP will be looking at how we can deliver a limited scope of subjects – Mathematics, English Language, Basic Sciences and Social Studies – to these children. Gradually we will scale it up to ensure the acquisition of relevant technical skills.”

Also at the meeting, the FEC approved a memo from the Ministry of Education for the establishment of 20 new private universities across the country.

The 20 new private universities are to be given provisional licenses to run for three years while the ministry monitors and evaluates their growth.

This will bring the total number of private universities in the country to 99.

We have just commenced work on an Alternate School Programme (ASP) as a special education initiative targeting out-of-school children nationwide. We must and will ensure that no Nigerian child is left behind in terms of appropriate basic education.
