UNICEF Nigeria says the National Assessment of Learning Achievement in Basic Education for 2022 was carried out by the Universal Basic Education Commission with UNICEF in October 2022. It measured Primary 3, Primary 5 and Junior Secondary 2 learners in mathematics, English studies, basic science and technology, and social studies, and it also looked at the conditions in which learning happens. The sample was 75,067 Primary 3 learners in 2,529 primary schools, 71,041 Primary 5 learners in 2,373 primary schools, and 23,564 Junior Secondary 2 learners in 788 junior secondary schools, drawn from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Parents of those learners, plus teachers, head teachers and principals, also took part. Results on the page are grouped into four proficiency levels, from below partially meeting the minimum, through partially meeting it and meeting it, to exceeding it. The report, dated December 2025, says an improvement strategy should aim to move learners up at least one of those levels.

The Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Programme site says the programme began in 2005 under President Olusegun Obasanjo to improve the health and education of public primary pupils, using local farm produce for a midday meal on every school day, starting in 12 states drawn from the six geopolitical zones. It was suspended in 2007 after two years because of weak planning, poor strategy and a lack of resources, then brought back in 2016 under President Buhari to raise enrolment, cut the number of children out of school, and address nutrition problems. In 2024 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu restructured it under the Renewed Hope agenda, with a stated aim of feeding more than 10 million pupils, and the programme was renamed the Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Programme. The mission on the page is a daily nutritious meal for public primary pupils from locally grown food, to improve health and attendance and to support local farmers. The stated objective is that every public primary school child receive a nutritious meal each day from local farmers. An outcome goal on the same page is, by 2025, a 20 percent rise in enrolment and attendance, a 15 percent improvement in academic performance in participating schools, and a 10 percent rise in local farmers' annual income.

BusinessDay reported on 24 October 2025 that the Federal Capital Territory Administration is tightening child immunisation rules in every public and private school in Abuja. Mandate secretary Dolapo Fasawe said at the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre that schools must check a pupil's vaccination status before admission, re-admission or transfer, and that schools which do not comply can be sanctioned under public health and education laws. She tied the duty to the Child Rights Act of 2003, and she said sections 13 and 14 place that duty on parents, guardians and institutions. The report says the order followed schools blocking teams during a measles-rubella campaign that began on 8 October and was extended by one week. That round covered measles-rubella for children from nine months to 14 years, polio for children up to 59 months, HPV for nine-year-old girls, and general immunisation for children up to 23 months, plus vaccines for neglected tropical diseases and malaria. Schools were also told to keep a child health register, work with nearby primary health centres for on-site vaccination, raise the subject at assemblies and parent meetings, and send monthly compliance reports to the health secretariat through the education secretariat.
