Anambra Government Urges Parents to Enroll Children in Approved Schools Only

As the new academic session for 2024/2025 approaches, the Anambra State Government has issued a strong warning to parents, advising them to enroll their children only in government-approved schools across the state. The directive was announced by the state’s Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who cautioned that parents who send their children to unapproved or “illegal” schools will be held accountable and may face legal consequences.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Chuma-Udeh emphasized the importance of early school enrollment and urged parents to ensure their children attend recognized institutions. She expressed concern over the operations of unregistered schools, highlighting the dangers posed to children in such environments. According to her, these schools often lack qualified teachers, leading to situations where unsupervised children engage in harmful activities that can result in serious injuries.

“Parents are advised to make early arrangements and enroll their children only in government-recognized schools in Anambra State,” Chuma-Udeh said. “Any parent that registers a child in a non-government recognized school shall be ready to bear the consequences of such action.”

She further stressed that students attending unrecognized schools will be excluded from participating in state examinations, and their parents will be considered accomplices in any legal actions taken against the proprietors of these institutions.

Chuma-Udeh also reiterated Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s stance on child rights, stating that every child in Anambra State is entitled to quality education. She warned that any violation of a child’s right to education would be met with serious repercussions from the state government.
