HUB EDUCATION FACILITY · A6.2-NG-SG-01

Come for Football. Leave with a Profession.

The SAGA 6.2 Hub Education Facility — A Three-Tier Curriculum Built on a Live Carbon Mitigation Hub

Not every opportunity here requires a CV. The SAGA 6.2 Hub Education Facility runs a three-tier apprenticeship programme designed for young Nigerians who are mission-aligned but earlier in their journey. You learn by doing — on a live, operating facility. You leave with a trade certification, an AI credential, and a career that lasts longer than any pitch.

Explore the Curriculum

“When the boots hang up, the hands still work. When the pitch closes, the code still runs. When the game ends, the profession endures.”

— Amy — Education Curriculum Consultant, CJ Best Investments Pte. Ltd.

The Magnet

Sports sciences pulls youth in. Football trials, coaching badges, sports medicine — the excitement of the pitch becomes the gateway to a career.

The Bridge

Foundational literacy and numeracy built to UBEC standards. No prior qualifications required. We meet you where you are and build from there.

The Outcome

A certified trade, an AI credential, and a university pathway. Three careers for the price of one enrollment. Globally mobile, locally rooted.

CURRICULUM ARCHITECTURE

Three Tiers. One Future.

Our three-tier curriculum bridges the gap between basic education and high-value economic opportunity. Each tier builds on the last — from foundational literacy through vocational trades to AI future skills. Every module is mapped to Nigerian regulatory bodies and international certification standards.

Tier 1 — Foundation

Accelerated Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (AFLN)

Mapped to the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and Nigeria's HOPE-EDU program. Uses the NERDC Accelerated Basic Education Program (ABEP) to compress 9 years of basic education into an intensive 24-week program across 3 levels.

Level 1 (Stages 1-3)

Equivalent to Primary 1-3. Foundational reading, writing, and arithmetic. Taught in local languages (Efik, Ejagham, Igbo).

Level 2 (Stages 4-6)

Equivalent to Primary 4-6. Transitions to English instruction. Introduces basic science, social studies, and life skills.

Level 3 (Stages 7-9)

Equivalent to JSS 1-3. Prepares students for BECE and entry into vocational or senior secondary paths.
