Following the re-opening of public primary
schools in Maiduguri last week, the Borno State
Government on Sunday appealed to parents to
send their children back to schools
Dr Mohammed Dongel, Chairman of the State
Committee on the Resuscitation of Primary School
Education, made the appeal during interview
with newsmen in Maiduguri.

Dongel said the State Government had made
adequate provision for the security of teachers
and pupils in schools.

He said although a large number of parents had
sent their children to schools, others were still
apprehensive.

“I want to assure parents that government has
made adequate security provisions in all schools
for the protection of teachers and pupils.
“Parents should endeavour to send their children
to school,” Dongel said.

He said that the state government had plans to
commence the distribution of uniform free of
charge to all pupils in public schools next week.
“Gov. Kashim Shettima is expected to flag off
distribution of uniforms free to all pupils in
public schools next week.

“He will also flag off provision of free daily meals
in all public primary schools next week,” Dongel
said.

Dongel said state government had also procured
instructional machines for easy teaching and
learning in schools in the state.

“We are trying to introduce e-learning in primary
schools to transform our education system into
world class’’, he said.

Dongel added that government had also
introduced new security measures in schools to
ensure safe environment for teaching and
learning.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
public schools, closed on March 14 due to deadly
attacks by suspected Boko Haram insurgents,
were re-opened on Nov. 17.
