Education in Nigeria is overseen by the Federal Ministry of Education.[2] The local authorities take responsibility for implementing state-controlled policy regarding public education and state schools.[3] The education system is divided into Kindergarten, Primary education, Secondary education, and Tertiary education.[4] Nigeria's federal government has been dominated by instability since declaring independence from Britain, and as a result, a unified set of education policies is yet to be successfully implemented.[5] Regional differences in quality, curriculum, and funding characterize the education system in Nigeria.[6][7] Currently, Nigeria possesses the largest population of out-of-school learning youths in the world.[7] The educational systems in Nigeria are divided into two the public[8] where the student only pays for Parents Teachers Association (PTA) while the private [9] where students pay school fees and some other fees like sports, exam fees, computer fees etc. and they are costly[10]

Education in Nigerian schools takes place in English. On November 30, 2022, the education minister Adamu Adamu announced a government plan to abolish instruction in English on primary schools in favour of Nigeria's local languages.[11]
