As part of the Teacher Development for Transition (TDT) activities, the dRPC organized a capacity-building workshop on language transition for 100 teachers from 10 primary schools in Kano State at the American Space.

Following the approval of the new structure by the National Council on Education (NCE), the Senior Secondary School Curricula was revised and its implementation commenced in September 2011 nationwide.

In commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child (Day of the Girl) with the theme
‘EmPOWER Girls: Before, during and after crises’, the dRPC organized a one-day meeting with the
following objectives:

"Nigeria faces many challenges - but none of them can be solved without education. Today, more than ten million Nigerian Children are out of school; most of them are girls. This is a tragedy for girls, an enormous waste of human potential and a threat to the future of Nigeria." - Malala Yousafzai, July 19, 2017

The development Research and Projects Centre (dRPC) set out to investigate a much
touted assumption in the child, early, and forced marriage community: that acquiring
vocational skills offers girls a pathway to empowerment, agency, and poverty
alleviation. The dRPC also set out to test the assumption that empowerment and
agency contribute to building girls’ resilience and resistance to child, early, and
forced marriage.
