The Centre for the Study of Economies of Africa (CSEA) in collaboration with Research on Improving Systems in Education (RISE) and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, organized a two-day intensive workshop titled “New tools for understanding learning crisis in Nigeria”.

The workshop convened key stakeholders in education from the private and public sectors to introduce the concept of learning pathways amongst students and other modern approaches to understanding the range of learning difficulties in Nigeria. Participants were also taught how to apply and use these tools to shape policies in education.

The workshop was held on the 31^st January and 1^st February 2022 and is intended to serve as a first step towards embedding learning pathways into education policy analysis in Nigeria.
