As of October 2020, the main reason why school-aged respondents in Nigeria could not attend school was school closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The most affected age groups were those 10 to 14 years as well as pupils in primary education. Other factors preventing school-aged individuals from attending schools included lack of money and the waiting time for admissions. Governments of many countries worldwide closed schools and encouraged remote learning in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.
