Security: Perimeter Fencing and Security Personnel
Primary School without perimeter fence
Because Learning Should Never Be Dangerous
Every child deserves to learn in a safe and secure environment. But in many parts of Southeastern Nigeria, especially in rural communities, safety is no longer guaranteed.
With rising insecurity across the country, schools have become soft targets. In some areas, they’re permanently closed on Mondays due to fear and violence. In others, they’ve been abandoned—now shelters for drug users and criminals.
Teachers report stolen materials, vandalized classrooms, and children too afraid to come to school. Parents are pulling their kids out. And the future of education in these communities is hanging by a thread.

Our Response: Safe Schools, Safe Futures
At C-EDU, we believe no child should have to choose between safety and education.That’s why we’re taking action.
- In partnership with generous donors, we’re: Building perimeter fences to keep intruders out
- Deploying two trained security personnel to each school, as recommended by UBEC
These aren’t just structures and staff—they’re shields of hope. They restore confidence, protect lives, and bring children back to the classroom where they belong.
