…Defaulters Arrested
Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Education led by the Honourable Commissioner, Professor Ubong Essien Umoh, has commenced the arrest and prosecution of operators of unapproved private schools who violated the Ministry’s directives of closure.
During the Ministry’s regular monitoring exercise, the education commissioner observed that while several operators of unauthorized private school had obeyed the Ministry’s directive and shut down operations, few operators had unsealed their school premises and continued with academic activities.
The Ministry of Education wishes to reiterate its stance on the closure of unauthorized and rogue schools operating in Akwa Ibom State. Accordingly, parents and guardians in both urban and rural communities are strongly advised not to enroll their children or wards in any private school that is not duly registered or licensed by the Ministry of Education, as the state-wide enforcement exercise to identify and seal off all unauthorized schools will continue throughout the school year.
This exercise is aimed at standardizing educational delivery across the state, ensuring compliance with approved standards, and ridding our educational system of substandard institutions that compromise the future of children in Akwa Ibom State.
