flag Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has launched the $25 million Lagos Education Access Fund (LEAF) to address out-of-school children and improve learning outcomes, targeting over 200,000 children including 50,000 aged six to 14. flag The initiative, backed by international partners and the Education Outcome Fund, focuses on literacy, numeracy, and retention, building on Project Zero’s success in re-enrolling 36,000 children since 2021. flag An executive order bans school-age children from being on the streets during school hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) unless excused, aiming to boost accountability. flag The state has also expanded education infrastructure, constructing more schools in seven years than in the prior two decades, including a 35-school complex. flag Vocational training for over 360 parents supports household stability and school retention. flag Officials praise the model for prioritizing measurable learning outcomes over input spending.
