What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

During a meeting with the governor in Umuahia, coordinator, Mrs Eunice Egbuna, proposed several initiatives, including the introduction of a “One Child, One Skill” policy, practical agriculture programs, and the restoration of teachers’ quarters in schools.

She stressed that education must be applicable, particularly in a time of rising unemployment, and highlighted the importance of equipping students with practical skills before they complete their 12 years of primary and secondary education.

Egbuna outlined how the “One Child, One Skill” policy would require updates to the curricula in Abia schools to incorporate relevant skills. She stated, “The curriculum must be flexible and reviewed every nine years to stay current.

Parents should choose skills for their children, which will be registered at schools. This approach will allow students to engage in hands-on learning and develop expertise through continuous practice, leading to competitions and recognition for top performers.”

Suggested pilot skills include fashion design, beauty and makeup artistry, hairdressing, interior decoration, solar installation, photography, web design, and more.
