Executive Chairman State Universal Basic Education Board Alhaji Altine Shehu Kajiji expressed the worry today when he paid an unscheduled visit to Model Primary School Kalambaina and JSS section of the school.
According to him it’s unbelievable to note that people of Kalambaina that happens to be an outskirts of Sokoto are left behind in terms of education.
Kajiji said it is disheartening and disgrace to note that people of the area choose to engage their children in rice milling processing at the detriment of their education.
He said the board will not allow such i don’t care attitude toward the education of children from any community as the state government is doing it’s best to ensure education for all.
As at the time of his visit by 08:40 in the morning the turn out of both teachers and pupils is zero while at JSS section only 4 out of 20 teachers were met.
Speaking the village head of Kalambaina told the SUBEB Chairman that they would soon embark on aggressive enlightenment campaign on the need for parent in the area to be sending their wards in school to acquire western and islamic education for the development of the area.
