Northern Education Initiative Plus (NEIPlus) Nigeria Midline 2018

The Northern Education Initiative Plus (NEIPlus) is a project that aimed to improve early grade literacy in Hausa and English in two of Nigeria’s northern states, Bauchi and Sokoto. Hausa is the mother tongue of most pupils in these states and the language of instruction of most schools. The data presented is from NEIPlus’s midline, conducted in 2018. Primary 2 (P2) and Primary 3 (P3) pupils were sampled. P2 and P3 are the equivalent of Grades 2 and 3, respectively.

Pupils were administered an Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA); P2 pupils were assessed on Hausa literacy, while P3 pupils were assessed on their Hausa and English literacy. After taking the EGRA, pupils took a context survey to gather information about the situation of their homes and schools. The results from the context survey are within the EGRA dataset. Head teachers and teachers at these schools were interviewed about their schools and pedagogical beliefs. At each school, one reading lesson was observed.
