iRead To Live’s research agenda addresses the student-facing dimensions of Nigeria’s higher education crisis. Our work is concentrated in four focal areas, each chosen because it represents a significant policy gap where independent, evidence-based research can drive measurable improvement in student outcomes.
All research produced by iRead To Live is independently conducted, peer-reviewed or expert-reviewed before publication, and published as open-access material freely available to policymakers, journalists, students, and the public.
Our flagship publications include policy briefs addressed directly to JAMB, NUC, NELFUND, and TETFund; annual research reports; working papers; and the Nigeria Higher Education Policy Tracker.
Fewer than 700,000 admitted each year from nearly two million qualified applicants.
