A former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Dr. Emeka Anyaoku, has called on the Federal Government to scale up its budgetary allocation to the education sector.


Dr. Anyaoku gave the advice at a forum held in Lagos.
He said that the move would make the country to be on the same pedestal with other nations.


He regretted that the current budgetary allocation to the education sector was below the standard set by UNESCO.


He also advised that informal education should be encouraged and embraced since they are tools for nation building.
