About the project
In line with our Ease mission pathway, the EducateMe project is an initiative to register disadvantaged students from low-income and underserved communities in Lagos, Nigeria for their UTME examinations by providing the JAMB/UTME forms.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a Nigerian institution that conducts National entrance exams similar to A-levels. It is a determinant for prospective students to be admitted into tertiary institutions. This exam (UTME) is conducted once a year.
Lack of education increases the likelihood of living in poverty. It is also true that youths with tertiary qualifications have a higher chance of securing a better-paying job and making better-informed decisions that affect their social, economic, and political wellbeing.
Project Objectives.
- To reduce the financial burden on parents and students who desire to obtain tertiary institution education.
- To enable students to pursue their dreams of studying in tertiary institutions.
- To Empower aspiring students to achieve their highest potential.
