Access to education; KDSG to build over 100 schools

Professor Muhammad Sani Bello

Kaduna State Government has disclosed plans to build one hundred and two new schools in communities where there are no schools.

The State Commissioner of Education, Professor Muhammad Sani Bello, who disclosed this, said the aim of the project is to ensure that no child treks more than one kilometre in order to get access to a school in the State.

Professor Bello said the governor has enacted policies and programmes that are expanding access to education and providing a conducive learning atmosphere, resulting in positive outcomes in the education sector.

Commissioner Bello, who stated this at the quarterly ministerial press briefing held at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House 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.

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%.
