» Katsina Orders Public School Teachers To Withdraw Their Children From Private Schools «

The Katsina State Universal Basic Education Board
(SUBEB), has directed primary school teachers
and all head teachers in the state to withdraw
their children from private schools for enrolment
in public schools.
Chairman of the SUBEB, Lawal Buhari Daura gave
the directive on Wednesday, when he led
management of the Board on an inspection tour
of Local Education Authority (LEA) in Kankia.
Daura said the directive was in line with an earlier
order issue by the Governor, Aminu Bello Masari
that public officers under his administration must
patronise public schools.
He insisted that the directive was part of efforts to
revive the education sector, but was silent on
whether or not penalties awaited defaulters.
Our correspondent reports that findings indicate
that most of the primary school teachers in public
schools do not patronise public schools as they
enrol their children and wards in private schools,
an action which suggests that they have no
confidence in the public schools.
