If I were the Minister of Education in Nigeria, I would pursue these 7 themes

1. comprehensive review of the curriculum across all levels—primary, secondary and tertiary—and the digitization

of learning.

**Some subjects, courses and concepts are obsolete.

2. Bring back the community system of education.

**Community schools for children between ages 5 and 11 for primary education

**This can be achieved by working with local governments.

3. Pursue compulsory and free basic education (primary and secondary) for all children

**Children of public office holders must attend government-owned schools till secondary level

4. Pursue public-private partnerships for model/unity colleges and international collaborations for non-model colleges

**India has a good template on this

5. Give tertiary institutions (polytechnics and universities) autonomy and revamp vocational and technical institutions.

Leadership in universities must never be a political appointment but rather one of character, competence and capacity.

6. A complete overhaul of the education agencies and examination boards
