Quality education for all is essential, and its importance cannot be overstated. Education is the power that sets individuals on the path to greatness and drives the progress and development of communities, Oyo State, Nigeria, and the world at large. Knowledge is indeed power, and every African who has achieved greatness recognizes this. Therefore, the significance of quality education for our children cannot be overemphasized.

Every 24th of January, the world marks the International Day of Education. For us in the GRESP Coalition, Oyo State, this day is a moment to reflect on the progress made in achieving equal access to quality education in our communities and to identify areas requiring further improvement. The challenges in our education system include poor-quality education, the high number of out-of-school children, and persistent gender disparities.

The efforts of government institutions, international organizations, community groups, CSOs, and NGOs like the GRESP Coalition in addressing the deficiencies in our education system are commendable. However, much remains to be done. All stakeholders must collaborate more effectively to improve access to quality education for both boys and girls. Together, we must reduce the number of children out of school and create an inclusive system that guarantees equal learning opportunities for all.

According to UNICEF, one in every five out-of-school children globally is Nigerian. This statistic underscores the urgent need for action. While economic hardships and the high cost of living are realities, they should not hinder our children’s right to education. We must ensure that every student, regardless of gender, has access to a supportive and empowering learning environment.

The call for gender-inclusive education goes beyond addressing disparities in enrollment. It is about fostering an educational system where all students can realize their full potential. Our children are the leaders of tomorrow, and we must build a system that unlocks their potential. The quality of education provided to both girls and boys will determine the future of our country.

The theme for the 2025 International Day of Education, “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation,” highlights the need for education to help individuals navigate and influence technological advancements. As the world rapidly evolves, Nigeria must secure its place in this progress. However, this can only happen when our education system is strong and inclusive.

Every child must have the opportunity to attend and complete school without discrimination. Curricula must challenge gender stereotypes and celebrate the contributions of women and men across all fields. Teachers, administrators, and policymakers must be equipped with the tools and knowledge—including AI skills—needed to foster classrooms free from gender-based violence and discrimination.

Families, communities, and local leaders must unite to challenge harmful gender norms and support every child’s educational journey. As UNESCO rightly states, “Education is a human right, a public good, and a public responsibility.” The transformation that education can bring is only achievable through collective effort.
