Adult Education Program
We believe in education not just as a tool for knowledge, but as a means to bridge the time gap caused by incarceration, reduce poverty, and drive transformation and rehabilitation.



Education for transformation
We launched our Examination Preparatory Classes in 2020 to provide incarcerated individuals with the resources to earn higher qualifications, setting them on a path toward reintegration.
We are actively engaged in correctional facilities across various regions, where we recognize the significant educational gaps faced by justice-impacted individuals. Understanding the infrastructural challenges within these environments, we have equipped classrooms to ensure uninterrupted learning and foster an atmosphere of growth.
So far, 725 individuals have benefitted from our Adult Education Program (AEP), gaining access to literacy, self-improvement, and new opportunities for personal development.

Thanks for bringing an immense opportunity to bridge the gap in seamless learning. I have benefitted from this program since being incarcerated, gaining more knowledge from tutors and, as a result, getting very good (WAEC and GCE) results, which I have used to process my admission application to the National Open University. My family, upon hearing of my academic achievement, were so proud and were a bit encouraged that something good could still be achieved in this dire situation I found myself
Educational program brought by CELSIR made me more focused on learning and improving my academic pursuit. It boosts my ego in learning and studying despite being within the four walls of the Custodial Centre. The virtual class through CELSIR has helped me to have better results on my O LEVEL as I sat for the last year 2022 GCE. All the lectures I got through the tutors and instructors were superb and that compelled my excellent result in all papers to mention
The Educational Program conducted by CELSIR have been a lifeline for me during my time here. I never thought I could access such quality education while being confined. The courses were well structured, and the materials provided were relevant. I am happy with the instructors for their dedication and encouragement, which motivated me to strive to pass my exams. I wholeheartedly give my honest appreciation to CELSIR and Barrister Joke. Barrister Joke is indeed an epitome of academic-cum-educational iroko on whose shoulder I see the light. Kudos, CELSIR, remain blessed
