The Kaduna State Government has declared free education for all female students in Public Secondary Schools in Kaduna state.
This is aimed at getting rid of the hindrances to girl-child education.
The free Basic Education Policy in the state for every child remains.
The state commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Ja’afaru Sani, stated this at a press conference in his office.
He said the objective of the policy is to increase the enrolment of young girls into school, giving their strategic role to nation-building.
The commissioner said that a directive has been sent to all the Education zonal offices and secondary schools in the state to immediately commence the implementation of the free education policy.
One of the major policies of the Governor Nasir El-Rufai administration shortly after it came to power is the series of reforms it made in the Kaduna state’s education sector.
This includes the declaration of free education for primary school pupils and recruitment of newly qualified teachers.
