Abstract: The need to provide education for all Nigerian children has been recognised by all; people, community members, civil society orgainsation, governments and development partners. The phenomenon of out-of-school children and youths in Nigeria remains one of the serious problems confronting educational sector of the country. It appears that there are conflicting figures about the actual number of these children. And people and scholars blamed the problem to inability to have access to the actual number of out-school-children. This is the reason the author advocates for community mapping as a way out. This paper therefore explored the problems associated with the provision of education to out-of-school children and suggested possible potentials of community mapping in addressing the problems. Lastly, the roles of adult and non-formal education administrators were highlighted.
