Kabuga/Aisami in Gwale LGA of Kano State, Wurare Special Primary School is gradually becoming a prime destination for parents wishing to enrol
Located in a suburb along Sani Abacha road, Kabuga/Aisami in Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State, Wurare Special Primary School is gradually becoming a prime destination for parents wishing to enrol their children.
The Wurare school is one of the few selected by the state government to be part of a federal government effort of getting more children in school. There are other schools in Gwale local government, but the Wurare school appears to be a top choice for parents sending their wards to school. He also lamented about the inadequate number of chairs and tables due to the high number of students.Wurare Special Primary School is a government primary school which was established in 1959 with two classrooms, 30 pupils and five teaching staff including the headteacher.
Checks also show that out of the 33 toilets stated earlier by the school head, only three were functioning as at the time of the visit. “Some parents don’t allow their children to go to school, we are still creating awareness on the importance of education, now some are willing to even allow them to study up to university level.”The spokesperson of SBMC at the Wurare school, Tijani Sheshe, said the SBMC has helped increase the school’s student population.Mr Sheshe also lauded the federal government’s school feeding programme which has helped in bringing pupils to the school.
In 2009, the Kano government implemented the SBMC policy in the school. Ja’en now has 4190 pupils: 2057 males, 2133 females.Ja’en runs two sessions but has a deficit in infrastructure and the challenge of tutors to meet rising demand. “SBMC gives support in the provision of instructional materials. Already we have more pupils coming to school now, we run morning and afternoon school for classes 4& 5 while other classes attend school in the morning,” the headteacher said.
