Nigeria’s second-chance schools: women balancing study and survival

In Nigeria, women like 28-year-old Habiba Abubakar are returning to school years after dropping out at the Women Centre for Continuing Education (WCCE) in Sokoto. They must balance study with childcare and household duties. Girls dropping out is common in northern Nigeria due to early marriage and poverty. Jennifer Agbaji, executive director of BVPRI, notes that second-chance education should not be limited to classroom attendance.
