Alhaji Altine Shehu said this is imperative inview of the fact that quality basic education remains key to the success of education sector as a whole.
He called on teachers in the twenty three LGEAs to redouble efforts in their responsibility of imparting sound knowledge to their pupils and students for the attainment of the set goals.
The Executive Chairman as well tasked authorities of schools under the Board to liaise with PTAs and SBMCs of their respective schools to mitigating issues of late coming and absconding by both teachers and pupils.
Kajiji opined that this is necessary as Sokoto SUBEB under his stewardship will not condone laxity and absconding to duty from any teacher.
He however praised the headteachers of Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa Model Primary School Malam Isah Garba and Principal of JSS Kaukabu Isah Alhaji for being on their seats during the unscheduled visit.
Alhaji Altine Shehu also challenged them to reporting any teacher found wanting in the discharge of his duty for necessary action.
Responding to a request of a photocopying machine at Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa Model Primary School,the SUBEB Chairman promised to personally procure it to the school.
