Following Taking Over Of Schools By Missions
By Okey Maduforo Awka.
Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state has announced the building of 30 New Primary Schools in Communities in the area in a bid towards deepening the impact of education programs in the affected areas .
Recall that the Missions had taken over schools that used to be under the state government but was later handed over to the churches.
Earlier before now , the Chief Of Staff to Soludo Chief Earnest Ezeajughi had told New Telegraph that about 76 Communities are without public schools a development that has generated protests from the affected towns in the state.
Ezeajughi also confirmed that the clamour by the Missions for their schools to be returned to them led to the handing over of those schools to them hence leaving the Communities without public schools.
The Communities had protested that since the take over of those schools by the Missions, the cost of education paid by parents and care givers had skyrocketed as the Missions charge exhubitant prices leading to their frustrations.
Confirming the proposed building of new Public Schools the Commissioner for Information Dr Law Mefor explained that it has become necessary to deepening education in the area.
“The council agreed to build an additional thirty new primary schools across communities after receiving the report of communities lacking public primary and secondary schools”
“This will deepen the impact of the education programmes of the Solution Government and ensure that every community in the state benefits from the Soludo administration’s free education policy. “he said.
