Address decay in public schools first before closing privates – CLO tells Akwa Ibom govt
The organisation said this following the massive close down of alleged illegal and substandard private schools across the three senatorial districts in the state by the state Ministry of Education.
He regretted that rather than taking advantage of the report to reform the sector government decided to politise issues in the report. “It is, however, the wish of the Civil Liberties Organisation to point out a number of issues that government must first address before proceeding to sanitise the school environment.
“The proliferation of private schools in the State is as a result of the comatose nature of standards in public schools. These schools sprang up to fill the existing gap in education at that level. So government must, as a matter of urgency, rise to its responsibilities by ensuring that the standards they wish the private schools to have, must first, be maintained by government in public schools.
