Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Alausa, will present a three year scorecard on Federal Government education reforms at the 2026 Education Summit in Abuja on Wednesday, offering stakeholders a detailed look at policy changes affecting Universities, students and the wider education sector since May 2023.

The summit, organised by the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria and themed Three Years of the Tinubu Administration: Assessing Reforms, Progress, and Challenges in Nigeria's Education Sector, will hold at the Barcelona Hotel, Wuse II, Abuja, bringing together policymakers, academics, development partners, and student bodies to review outcomes across basic, secondary, and tertiary education.

Chairman of the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria, Chux Ukwuatu, disclosed in a statement issued on Monday that the summit would provide an opportunity for a critical appraisal of education policies while fostering dialogue on the sector's future direction.

“The summit will bring together policymakers, education experts, academics, development partners and media professionals to assess the impact of the Tinubu administration's education reforms and explore strategies for addressing the sector's remaining challenges,” Ukwuatu stated.

Alausa is expected to declare the summit open, with participants drawn from government institutions, education agencies, academia, school administrators, researchers, civil society organisations, and student representatives, according to Ukwuatu, who explained that the gathering aims to promote evidence based policy discussions among stakeholders committed to improving educational outcomes.

For Universities and students, the scorecard is likely to spotlight the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, introduced to widen access to tertiary education, alongside reforms in quality assurance, technical and vocational training, and curriculum reviews designed to align learning with 21st century skills and labour market demands.

The Ministry has also introduced nationwide learning assessments to track pupils' academic performance, expanded digital education initiatives, and strengthened research and innovation partnerships through agencies such as the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, developments expected to feature prominently in Wednesday's presentation.

Beyond policy review, the summit will recognise individuals and institutions that have made notable contributions to advancing education and human capital development in Nigeria.

Organisers say the event is expected to offer one of the first comprehensive stakeholder assessments of these reforms, highlighting achievements, gaps in implementation, and priorities that could shape the next phase of policy affecting Universities, Tertiary Institutions and students nationwide.
