Ugochukwu Chukwujiaka sat down with Modupe (Mo) Adefeso-Olateju, the Managing Director of The Education Partnership Centre (TEP Centre) and a policy expert specializing in public-private partnerships in education.

They discussed the open letter which Dr Mo sent to her son’s school as a response to the school’s announcement of starting online classes for the new terms. In the letter, Dr Mo proffers four recommendations to consider as the school transition to online learning due to the lockdown in Nigeria.

Dr Mo leads the implementation of LEARNigeria; Nigeria’s citizen-led household assessment and advocacy programme which is assessing the foundational literacy and numeracy competencies of 5 - 15-year-olds in Nigeria and supporting the implementation of remedial programmes for communities. She was a member of the technical team assembled by the Honourable Minister of Education (Nigeria) and wrote a section of the Federal Ministry of Education’s Strategic Plan for Education (2011-2015).

As a Centenary Scholar (Africa), she received a PhD in Education and International Development from the Institute of Education (IOE), the University of London where her research probed the effectiveness of public and private schools in Nigeria and proposed a framework for public-private partnership (PPP) in the education sector.
