FG Plans New Student Tracking
The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to introduce a Learner Identification Number for pupils starting from primary school, aimed at tracking their academic progress throughout their education journey.
The move is part of efforts to improve record keeping in the education system.
The plan targets school children across the country, ensuring each learner is assigned a unique number that follows them from early education to higher levels.
Officials believe this will help monitor performance and reduce data gaps.
Authorities say the initiative will support better planning, allowing schools and policymakers to access accurate student information when making decisions.
It is also expected to strengthen accountability within the system.
The government noted that the rollout will begin at the basic education level, with the long-term goal of creating a unified database that captures the academic history of every student.
