Kwara Launches Commissioner-to-Classroom (C2C), Expands Education Digitization and Girls’ Empowerment
The Kwara State Government has launched a landmark programme—Commissioner-to-Classroom (C2C)—to strengthen safe learning environments and direct engagement with students across the state. This initiative coincides with the government’s approval of online registration for the Common Entrance Examination, reflecting a digital shift in the state’s education sector.
Speaking during the first quarter Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing, Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe, outlined key reforms including the expansion of KwaraLearn, which has doubled student enrollment and transformed public education from analog to digital. Over 1,800 teachers have received training in digital literacy across all LGAs.
The state has also launched the National Education Quality Assurance Policy (NEQAP), ensured robust teacher supervision, and embarked on large-scale construction and renovation of 35 schools. Through the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE), 898 secondary schools will benefit from WASH facilities, School Improvement Grants, and safe-space programs.
AGILE has also trained 210 facilitators, developed life skills manuals, and mapped Gender-Based Violence (GBV) service providers to ensure protection and empowerment of adolescent girls. The government has further enhanced financial inclusion through conditional cash transfers and trained Second Chance Facilitators to reintegrate out-of-school girls.
Dr. Olohungbebe added that the Kwara Agency for Mass Education has launched literacy-by-radio and vocational skill programmes, demonstrating the AbdulRazaq administration’s inclusive approach to lifelong learning and citizen empowerment.
