In other news, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has outlawed all payment practices in the state’s primary and secondary schools, emphasizing the enforcement of mandatory education for children within the school-age bracket. This action highlights the government’s dedication to fostering equal opportunities in education and addressing economic inequalities.
The governor has established an imprest account system to support school principals and headteachers in managing their institutions. With fixed monthly allocations for operational purposes, this initiative ensures that schools can function more effectively, reducing delays in addressing immediate needs.
Otti made this announcement in his New Year speech on Wednesday, stating, “We have stopped all forms of payments in primary and secondary schools. Not even PTA levies should be charged to any parent or guardian in any public school in the state.
