On Wednesday, the Federal Capital Territory Administration terminated two private schools in the nation’s capital for failing to meet minimum standards.
The impacted schools, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, include Jane’s Angela School in the Abuja Municipal Area Council and Erudite Bright Kids at Kagini.
The schools were shut down as part of a campaign to close all failing schools in the Federal Capital Territory.
The team was led by Dr. Danlami Hayyo, Mandate Secretary of the FCTA’s Education Secretariat, who indicated that the goal of the action was to guarantee the caliber of instruction in FCT schools.
The mandate secretary also disapproved of some school owners’ behavior in refusing to allow inspectors and assessors access to their school’s grounds.
The sealed schools did not meet the requirements for the construction of normal schools, according to Dr. Favour Nse-Edem, Director of the Department of Quality Assurance.
Nse-Edem stated that the closure was essential to upholding standards in schools despite the fact that there were no records of their operation and they had been in operation for years.
She assured us that the department will keep watching over both public and private schools to make sure they maintain the required standards.
