Activities of Bauchi BEDSA

 

The programme, overseen by the Federal Ministry of Education, focuses on addressing literacy issues, out-of-school children, and strengthening education systems. As part of the BESDA program, the center establishment exercise is implemented to support the post-literacy program, which aims to enhance literacy rates and provide marketable skills to out-of-school children and other learners in Bauchi state. 
 
 
Overall, BESDA seeks to tackle the barriers to education in Nigeria through a comprehensive approach that addresses both enrollment and quality of education, particularly targeting marginalized and vulnerable populations.
