Remote learning activities in Nigeria 2020, by age
Further survey results show that the main reason why school-aged respondents in Nigeria could not attend school was school closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Governments of many countries worldwide closed schools and encouraged remote learning in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.
As of October 2020, about 55 percent of school-aged respondents in Nigeria were engaged in education or learning activities at some point since mid-March, when schools in Nigeria closed.
