The Borno State Government has made significant strides in addressing the issue of out-of-school children, with the number decreasing from over two million to 800,000. Governor Zulum highlighted this progress during the inauguration of 27 Local Government Education Secretaries and the distribution of 57 schools monitoring vehicles in Maiduguri.
Since assuming office in 2019, Governor Zulum has placed a strong emphasis on education as a key priority for his administration. Initially, efforts were focused on rebuilding the state’s devastated school infrastructure to provide access to the large number of out-of-school children in Borno. Thanks to these efforts, the number of out-of-school children has now decreased to less than 800,000, a significant achievement for the state.
The vehicles inaugurated for the Local Government Education Authorities will play a crucial role in enhancing mobility and effective monitoring of educational activities. Governor Zulum emphasized that these vehicles should be used strictly for official purposes by authorized drivers to ensure smooth operations.
Governor Zulum also directed the commissioner for education to provide quarterly reports on the performance of each education secretary. He made it clear that any secretary who fails to meet expectations will be replaced, underscoring the importance of accountability and performance in the education sector.
The government’s commitment to improving access to quality education for all children in Borno is further demonstrated by these initiatives. By investing in infrastructure, monitoring mechanisms, and personnel, the state is taking concrete steps towards ensuring that every child has the opportunity to receive a proper education.
In addition to addressing the issue of out-of-school children, the government’s efforts are also focused on improving the overall quality of education in the state. By holding education officials accountable for their performance and ensuring that resources are used efficiently, Governor Zulum is working towards creating a more robust and effective educational system in Borno.
Overall, the state government’s commitment to education is commendable, and the progress made in reducing the number of out-of-school children is a testament to the effectiveness of its initiatives. By continuing to prioritize education and invest in the necessary infrastructure and resources, Borno is on the path to providing a better future for its children and improving the overall education system in the state.
