Zamfara’s Education in Crisis: Pupils Learn on Bare Floors Amid Insecurity and Poor Funding

 


The education sector in Zamfara State, Nigeria, is facing a severe crisis — one marked by insecurity, poor infrastructure, and low funding. Reports reveal that pupils in several schools across the state are being forced to learn on bare floors, under leaking roofs, and without adequate classroom furniture.

According to a December 2023 investigation by the RCDIJ, over 1,300 students at Government Day Secondary School, Bakura, were found studying on bare floors due to dilapidated classrooms and missing desks, windows, and doors. This paints a grim picture of a system struggling to function.

⚠️Zamfara remains one of the Nigerian states most affected by banditry and terrorism. Ongoing attacks have led to school closures, forced displacements, and growing fear among teachers and parents. A UNICEF report (2025) confirmed that insecurity has disrupted learning in several communities, forcing thousands of children out of school.

💰 Civil society organizations have raised alarms over Zamfara’s poor education budget. Despite the state government declaring a “state of emergency” on education, activists say budget allocations remain insufficient to address the scale of the problem.

In a December 2023 report, the Daily Post highlighted complaints that funds meant for classrooms and furniture either remain undisbursed or mismanaged — leaving pupils in harsh, unsafe learning environments.

🕊️ Education experts and community leaders are calling on the federal agencies, and international donors to prioritize rebuilding classrooms, increasing funding, and improving teacher welfare. Without urgent intervention, they warn, an entire generation of children could be left behind.
