Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Udoh |
As part of ongoing efforts to re position the educational sector, the
Government of Akwa Ibom State has identified and earmarked over 1,200 illegal
schools across all tiers of the educational sector in the state, for immediate
closure.
A Press Statement released by the State Commissioner for Information,
Mr. Charles Udoh on September 2nd, affirmed that the exercise is to curtail the
proliferation of schools that do not meet the minimum requirements for set up
and operations in the state.
He said that a list of approved nursery, primary, secondary, and
tertiary schools in Akwa Ibom State are available on www.akwaibomstate.gov.ng and notice boards of the
Ministries of Information and Education as well as those of the State Universal
Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and Local Government Headquarters.
By this notice, parents and guardians of students in schools not listed
among approved schools in the state as well as the general public are advised
to take note and immediately relocate their wards to an approved school.
In a related development, the Akwa Ibom State Government will be hosting
its First Education Summit and Exhibition on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th of
September 2019. The theme of the event is Human Capacity Building for
Sustainable Transformation of Persons and Society.
The cardinal objective of this two-day event is to provide a platform
for stakeholders in the Educational sector and relevant private sector players
to brainstorm and fashion ways of moving our educational system closer to
that elusive ideal of giving every Akwa Ibom child an equal opportunity to
succeed while networking, share ideas and collaborating on how to address
localised issues and concerns.
