Policy Brief: Effectiveness of Accelerated Education Programmes in Nigeria

Alternative education models such as Accelerated Education Programmes (AEP) provide accelerated forms of education to out of school children, eventually providing a pathway for their return into formal education system where possible. Nigeria has experienced up to 5 AEPs in the Northeast. The effectiveness of these programmes is proven by the education access they have extended to OOSC, the equity they have promoted, and their mainstreaming ability.
