With a figure of 10.5 million, Nigeria has the highest number of out-of-school children in the world, according to UNICEF.

This may be underestimated as more children and parents are embracing informal education due to unemployment.

Some out- of- school children are into petty trading activities to support their family, while others drop out due to broken homes.
