Worried by the number of out-of-school children in Katsina State, the United Nations Children’s Fund in collaboration with the State Universal Basic Education Board has flagged off ‘Back to School and Behavioural Change Campaign’ to avert the menace.
Speaking at the flag-off of the programme in Katsina Tuesday, the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Badamasi Lawal, said the outbreak of COVID-19 and banditry had triggered the number of out-of-school children in the state, particularly in Kafur and Kankara Local Government Areas. Lawal, represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Musa Abdul Dankama, noted, however, that the back-to-school campaign would reduce the number of out-of-school children across the 34 local government areas of the state.
