The Enugu State Government has directed the immediate closure of all private schools at basic and post-basic levels operating in the state without the written approval of the state's ministry of education. The State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uche Eze, who gave the directive on Tuesday, said the order was necessary following the proliferation of substandard private schools in the state. He said such schools did not seek registration or obtain approval from the ministry as required by the law.

The State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uche Eze, who gave the directive on Tuesday, said the order was necessary following the proliferation of substandard private schools in the state. Eze stated that it has become a source of concern to both the government and stakeholders in the education sector, adding that “without such registration and approval, the government cannot guarantee or assure the state of infrastructure or the quality of teaching and learning offered in such schools.”

He warned that “the state government shall, two weeks from the date of this announcement, embark on forcible closure of any defaulting school, prosecute and punish any person or group of persons still flouting the directive.”

I america and developed world people do homeschooling and and take external exams get admitted to university Why is the governor destroying education when his mates are running for president based on their contribution to education

We must not wait for 8 years to remove a governor. The 8-year thing was an American idea. We should use our heads and stop copying Americans. Do what works for you. Tufiakwa for this part of the world.

If 2023 goes smoothly, the next question should be, 'What do you do about governors you don't want no more?'

With this decision by mr governor no objection, but very easy for them to come to Lagos state and complain about the government.

Ha! How many state schools do they have for starters?

Education is slowly vanishing in Nigeria.
