Gov Sani To Build 102 New Schools In Communities Without Schools – Commissioner Kaduna State Commissioner of Education, Prof. Muhammad Sani Bello, has revealed that Governor Uba Sani’s administration plans to build 102 new schools in communities where there are no schools.
He revealed the aim of the project was to ensure that no child treks more than one kilometre in order to get access to a school in Kaduna State.
Prof. Bello reported the governor has enacted policies and programmes that are expanding access to education and providing a conducive learning atmosphere, resulting in self-existent outcomes in the education sector.
Commissioner Bello, who reported this at the quarterly ministerial press briefing held at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House yesterday, revealed that Governor Sani’s policies were in line with his campaign promises.
Prof. Bello pointed out that the administration has constructed more schools and additional classrooms, as well as changed the constitution of both learners and teachers since he assumed office.
“At the basic education level under SUBEB, more than 600 classrooms have been constructed since the beginning of this administration and quite the number are entity renovated and the era of having students studying in the environment that is not conducive for learning has been averted,’’ he stated.
Prof. Bello disclosed 62 new secondary schools have been built under the AGILE project, promising that 50 new ones will be constructed before the second anniversary of the administration.
He further reported that the six science secondary schools that were funded by the Islamic Development Bank are now up and racing.
‘’That project started 16 years ago, but it was stalled and abandoned, it is this administration that completed the school and more than 2,000 students have been enrolled in those schools which are pure science schools,’’ he recalled.
This also trended:
The commissioner argued that the policies of the present administration have manifested in good learning outcomes as can be attested to by the results of national examinations conducted by WAEC, NECO and NABTEB.
Prof. Bello reported that the percentage of students who passed with five credits in those examinations before the coming of this administration was 54%, adding that the percentage is now 67%.
The Commissioner further recalled that Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to education was evident in his first Executive Order, which reduced tuition fees in all state-owned tertiary institutions by 40%.
