Located on a large expanse of land, Rafin Giwa Model Primary School in Kwakware community, Kebbi State, is gradually becoming a prime destination for anxious parents wishing to enrol their children.
PREMIUM TIMES recently visited the community, which is about 30 minutes drive from the state capital. It is situated in Suru LGA.In one of the classrooms, 12-year-old Hassana Aliyu, who is in Primary 6, expressed her delight at being in school, courtesy of the government.”I left school two years ago when I was in primary four because there was no one to pay my fees. I started selling food for my mother since then,” she said.
“We would have been hawking if we are not in school by now. We also have books, pencils, uniform, socks and sandals too,” Musa Gulma, the labour maayter quoted some of the children as saying.“Some parents still collect the money, and their wards are not in school, it is worrisome,” he said.Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES, the head teacher of Rafin Giwa school, Kabiru Shehu, said the block of classrooms for Primary one and two collapsed in 2017.
The headmaster of the school, Labaran Falke, said he was helpless especially in the face of challenges of lack of teachers and infrastructure the school is confronted with. The components, according to UNICEF, include the cash transfer programme in addition to other grant opportunities. “This money has helped me to invest in my business, and I can cater to my children. Only one of my child is a beneficiary. So I use the money to buy uniforms, socks, and I give them food. I am very happy now,” she said.Similarly, Hauwa Jibrin, said two of her kids are beneficiaries. She said she invests the money on livestock rearing, takes care of her children and gives some to her husband.
Seems there are no classrooms.
