[EDITORIAL] Katsina And The Back To School Project

While the 13.2 million out-of-school children continue to be a source of concern to, not just the government and parents, there are fears that with the raging insecurity and the attendant attacks on schools, more children may be forced to abandon school.

Through the project, the state hopes to return 200,000 out-of-school children, including the almajirai, to school this year. With the needed commitment as clearly demonstrated by government, the state can achieve this feat and even surpass it, as it is doable. More than anything else, this underscores the need for adequate funding of the education sector. Good enough, the Masari administration has, for the past three years, consistently allocate 22 per-cent of the state’s budget to the education sector as part of measures to make funds available for this critical sector.

Commendably, the Masari administration has embarked on the renovation and construction of new classrooms with officials putting the number of new classrooms constructed and renovated across the state at 752 and 1, 598 respectively.
