FG Launches School Safety and Climate Action Handbooks with UNICEF Support

The Federal Ministry of Education, in collaboration with UNICEF Nigeria, has unveiled three new handbooks aimed at enhancing school safety and promoting climate awareness across the nation’s learning institutions.

The handbooks cover key areas including climate change education, early warning systems, and violence prevention and management in schools. This initiative is part of broader efforts to align Nigeria’s education sector with global standards on safe learning environments and sustainable development.

Speaking at the launch event, education stakeholders emphasized the importance of equipping educators, students, and school administrators with practical tools to address emerging threats such as climate-induced disasters and school-based violence.

The handbooks are expected to serve as vital resources in Nigeria’s commitment to the #SafeSchools Declaration, and contribute to building a more resilient, informed, and secure learning environment for millions of children nationwide.
