Every child in Nigeria has a right to free 9 years of education. And after the 9 years period, many drop out of school because their parents don't have the resources to sponsor the remaining years of school. This assignment is been carried out to make a case for free 12 years of education, especially for girls. It will contribute to our ongoing advocacy on the need for education to be free in Nigeria for at least 12 years.

There has been a clamour for free quality 12 years of education. ANd some countries have gone ahead to make it free. In fact, countries like Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lebanon, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Uruguay provide free education at all levels, including college and university for its citizens. This task is about researching to know which countries have the first 12 years of education free, how are they funding it and how has the free education impacted the country, negative or positive? Can the research findings be used to convince other countries to make their education free?

The volunteers should be experienced in designing and implementing a research project. Other core skills include: - desk review - data analysis, and - report writing.
