Kwara bans preaching, religious activities in public schools

Kwara government has warned religious organisations against preaching or engaging in religious activities in public schools in the state.

It was rumoured on Monday that a local government education secretary forced head master of a public school in Ilorin, the state capital, to conduct separate assemblies for Christian and Muslim pupils contrary to what obtained. In a statement, Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development Fatimoh Bisola Ahmed said: “It has come to the notice of the Kwara State Government that some religious organisations have been going to public schools in the state to preach during the morning Assembly.“The ministry wants to say it categorically that no religious organisation is permitted to go to public schools for preaching or engage in any religious activities during morning Assembly.

The ministry therefore directed that prayers should be said silently on the morning Assembly across public schools in the state. “The government appeals to all school heads and other stakeholders to adhere strictly to this directive, which is to maintain peace and decorum in our schools. All principals, head teachers and education secretaries should take please note,” the statement added.
