Why British boarding schools are so eager to open in Nigeria
84% Informative
Well-off Nigerians have sent their children to prestigious British boarding schools for years .
Now some of those institutions are setting up campuses in Africa 's most populous nation.
High-quality, internationally recognised education within the country will appeal to many parents.
The cost of sending children to the UK has soared as the UK recently imposed 20% VAT on private school fees.
A vast education gap already exists in Nigeria , with many parents opting for private education of varying quality.
Many struggle to pay the higher fees rather than sending their children to government schools.
Rugby School Nigeria is coming also to support, develop and learn from the schools currently in Nigeria .
The arrival of British schools may not drastically change Nigeria 's education system.
