Inthe vast landscape of Nigeria's educational challenges, a startling statistic looms large: in 2020, 68% of our youth received secondary education. While this is a significant achievement, it's also a stark reminder of the millions who face an uncertain future. Approximately 15% completed only primary education, and another 17% embarked on higher studies after secondary education.
Now, here's the eye-opener: a staggering 4.8 million young minds never proceed to tertiary education. In a nation where university degrees don't guarantee jobs but certainly open doors to better opportunities, this represents not just a missed chance, but a potential crisis.
The repercussions are profound and far-reaching: increased security challenges, a looming shortage of skilled professionals, a tarnished international image, skyrocketing illiteracy rates, and a growing burden on society with high socioeconomic dependency.
This is where Street to Tech steps in, with a mission that transcends numbers and statistics. We are dedicated to harnessing the untapped potential of these 4.8 million bright minds who, due to financial constraints, cannot pursue a university education. Our program equips them with valuable tech skills, empowering them to dive into entry-level and freelance tech jobs.
Why does this matter?
Street to Tech serves as a stepping stone to financial autonomy, breaking the chains of dependency and fostering self-sufficiency.
When opportunity knocks, the door to crime closes. Empowering these young talents means contributing to a safer community.
Our initiative isn't just about individual transformation; it's about elevating society as a whole. By nurturing these budding tech talents, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future.
