The Fafunwa Educational Foundation was established to promote academic excellence and raise the standard of education in Nigeria.
At the heart of the foundation, is the promotion of Nigerian indigenous languages. The late Prof. Babs Fafunwa, a former Minister of Education, had a passion for educational development and contributed a lot to the advancement of education in Nigeria.
“Prof. Fafunwa was the architect of the 6-3-3-4 educational system. He believed that it is ideal that at the primary school level, mother tongue should be used to teach pupils, to make learning easy.
“We don’t want the legacy he bequeathed to us to die. We want his dream of academic excellence in Nigeria to be realised. That was why the foundation was established"- Prof Kayode Alao.
