involvement of young school children in the recent ‘Ita Faji’ building collapse has understandably elicited widespread public comments in many quarters. Naturally, blames have equally been fairly apportioned in some cases. The avoidable tragedy is regrettable and our hearts genuinely go out to all victims of the sad episode. We commiserate with the family of the deceased and wish those recuperating speedy recovery.
Given this scenario, government sees private sector operators as partners in progress. Hence, it reviewed previous tactics deployed to regulate the proliferation of private schools in the state by previous administrations. It, therefore, resolved to interface more closely with education service providers in the state.
It is to the credit of the current administration that the Private Schools and Special Programme Department was separated from the Quality Assurance Directorate. This was to ensure transparency, introduce checks and balances; reduce corruption, extortion, indiscipline, recklessness and impunity. It has always been the policy of the current administration to ensure that this process is not in any way compromised. As a result of the level of interaction between government and proprietors, most of them were encouraged not only to register their schools, but to also ensure that they embrace best practices at all times. Consequently, the current administration has registered more private schools since its inception.
