In 2018, the average number of children per class in Nigeria was 51. However, the differences among the states were remarkable. For instance, in elementary schools in Katsina, there were on average 101 pupils per class, the highest figure nationwide. Katsina is located in the North-West, a zone which records the highest deficit of classrooms in Nigeria. Specifically, in 2018 there were 114.3 thousand classrooms in the North-Western states, whereas the required number was 252.6 thousand.
