The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, says Nigeria will soon effect policy to prosecute parents who refused to enrol their children of school age in schools across the country.
“Unless the issue of parents who refused their children going to school is made a crime, and we start jailing parents, the menace of out of school children will not be resolved.“So the ministry is to effect this policy so that any parent whose child of school age refuses to take them to school will be jailed,’’ he said.
Mr Adamu added that in 2015, matching and non-conditional grants disbursements to 15 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory amounted to N68.4 billion.According to him, in 2017 the federal government provided a total of N95 billion to 24 states and the FCT, and another N109 billion to 20 states and the FCT.
Mr Adamu emphasised that corruption and lack of political will from state governments were among other reasons responsible for the collapse of basic education across the states.
Is it only on paper as usual? That would be great
No this won’t solve anything, renovate Government Schools, employ competent teachers, increase their salary and provide them with the adequate facilities. Watch how parents enroll their kids in schools.
His own kinsmen will be the main culprits.
With high cost of education? What measures will you put in place as a relief,so that all and sundry can afford quality education.
Which of the minister is spewing this gibberish? Certainly not that of Education because he has lost grip. Education in his reign is at a low ebb and he has not brought any innovation to move us forward. He should continue with his article but certainly not prosecuting parents
Weed
Where is the government schl in this country, or you mean that, That schl that has no chears, desk, and no qualified teachers to teach.The schls that children's attend from pri 1-6 with out knowing how make a sentence, the schools that are free of knowledge,
They should also persecute the politicians who take their kids to schools abroad.
It means that Nigeria is set to send atleast 50% of northern parents to jail.
You putting your wagon in front of your horse...the horse will soon collapse.
How can regular Nigerian citizens be smarter than minister of education they elected to present them. Plz consult before tweeting joor.
How about introducing birth control?
You have overtaken all the courts available space from unresolved disputes emanating from your primary and party selection process... So which court are u going to prosecute 50 million parents from?
Let the school or schooling be so standardize to global requirements before you can start persecutions.
Almajirinci!
FG should declare Free-Education from Creche to Tertiary; then shall you persecute reasonably why kids are not enroll. Not in hard economy and no job in Nigeria. Please OfficialAPCNg Led Admin have sense bikonu
Which Nigeria?
Lol this clueless bunch, make we laugh all the time
What if they can barely afford daily meals, let alone pay school fees or buy the necessary things? I think we also need a law that limits the number of children based on prospective parents' income. Many may not want to hear this, but if you can't cater for them, don't have them
When boko is haram, how is this possible?
Good idea. Please also try to refurbish the schools to enable comfortable learning environment.
We will need to sue government that fails to improve standard of education too!
And who prosecute the government that fail to establish schools which can accommodate our children. Here in Kano, we have more than 350 students in a class. What have you been doing to address this?.
Which school, the free education u promised in a basket or the expensive once, shame on you, have u tried to tour round govt schools to see the shit holes u call school.
How? Are MBuhari parents alive? How can you prosecute them?
April fool or day joke?
..and is it the glass rooms children sit on the bare floor or the schools teachers don’t know how to teach Hanza!!
Useless Gov. which school?the ones with no Chairs and roofs and no Floors? How about Gov, Failure to provide Electricity and good salary
Nigeria should also prosecute school authorities who send pupils and students home for non-payment of school fees and teachers will prosecute the Nigeria that refuses to pay their salary in due course.
Dreaming!!
Hope you giving free education b4 you make such claims
Long overdue
With this news I am able to realize we have a position called Minoster of Education. 🤔😀😀😀
This is dumb, improve the educational sector first before you embark on this
U mean schools in Nigeria or abroad Mr Minster should I ask you what is the quality of the education in ur time and now. Definitely u know ur government as offer free education but indeed free of knowledge We need reform of the sector so that the quality will be world stand 1st
What have you done to those who have done so?
Story for the gods
Stop saying this because some group of people have occupied the government
In some cases, it is not that the parents don't want their children to be in school but they can't afford it.
This is one of the most unintelligent statements l have heard in recent time. Who will prosecute non-performing govt officials like...They should always think before speaking biko.
Which school
Minister should provide enough schools first
Northerner who refuse make u come pack all ur almajiri nation wide ooh
Make education free for all at least elementary school
Tales by moon light
What about FG start to prosecute those Governors that are owing teachers salaries and those that are paying half and or 1/3 of teachers salary.
Nigeria’s to prosecute government way no Dey pay them salaries.Ndi ara.
In the south a seven years old girl prefered strokes than being driven home for fees.
It's about time.
When will you start your free education from primary level up to tertiary institution?
Are you ready to prosecute your selves for failure to enact people’s friendly policies?
Let him start from his home town, we all northern part of Nigeria is lost when it comes toeducation.
Nigeria should create an environment that make children basic education affordable to all parents.
Start from the Northern part of Nigeria. Thank you!
This minister na ode o Abeg let him check his states status on the chart of out of school children
This table una the shake go affect not only the parents oh but kids, disowning no hard again oh
When Education is free. That will be awesome. But for now. Let's fight poverty.
Possibly, if education is free at all levels. In my view, no parent will hold their wards from going to school. Modernisation have civilised the country. The sovereign still have a lot to offer her subject.
Looooooool What will we prosecute a govt that can’t provide electricity/roads/security for 🤷🏾♂️ Like Govt like Citizen Park well jor
Which school the ones with no floor and roof?
So how will they get all these almajiris parents who have sent their boys away far from home at tender age.
Very stupid people. In other countries primary and secondary education costs next to nothing, here you want parents that have not finished feeding their children to send them to school. How? Anu ofiaw
And education minister who refuse to improve the status of education institutions from kindergarten to the university level to be electrocuted......
Una give them work?
Enrol your child TODAY
Pay minimum wage first rubbish
Story!!!!!!!
Is like our Hon. Minister is on codeine diet Mtchew yeye people.
I guess they mean Northern parents...Schools built by GEJ in the North to educate the Almajiris are still empty. The likes of Nasir El-Rufai tells the almajiri children that the Western education is evil yet he went to Harvard. Criminals!!!
Yeye people na their head dem go use pay school. When una no dey pay salary. Yeye government.
Let there be free education in all government schools in each communities in every states. Then the prosecute may now be considered because many wants to go school but no capital/finance.
About time.
What govt should do is to take away the child from the parent and enroll him/her in school
God will also punish a government that failed its promises
You've got to define what you mean by 'school'. That's because school in the South might not be the same as in the North where I really think the prosecuting of parents should start from.
What of where are no school?
just waking up.
Before prosecuting our parents, make the learning atmosphere conducive and cater for teachers, lastly make their take home pay something reasonable that can quinch their thirst 😎
90% of it will be from the north except if cow school s included though I know lot of Fulani that sponsored there kids to school but hmmmm
...one of the ways to tackle illiteracy in the country
Let them start in the North first.....
They should start from the north
