Stop the Extortion Anambra Assembly Tackles Private Schools 

 

The Anambra House of Assembly passed a motion to check extortion perpetrated by public missions and private schools in the state.

 

The lawmakers called on Gov. Chukwuma Soludo to direct the Commissioner for Education to engage the Public, Private and Mission Schools to address the exorbitant cost of textbooks and school uniforms.

 

They frowned at the situation where the schools market the items exclusively or through designated vendors and make them mandatory for parents.

 

The motion was signed by Mr Ikenna Ofodeme, member representing Ekwusigo constituency, and 18 others on Tuesday.

 

Ofodeme said the motion had become necessary in view of the fact that  education was a fundamental right of every child and no one should be denied access under a guise.

 

The  Majority Leader of the Assembly regretted that the  practice which was common in most Anambra primary and secondary schools was against the spirit of the education policy of governments which was free and compulsory.

 

“Use of textbooks as workbooks, uniform purchase from exclusively designated vendors and mandatory extramural classes, place undue financial burdens on parents and guardians, particularly for families with multiple children in the same school or class,” he said.

 

The Lawmaker said the trend was counterproductive and that the introduction of textbooks/workbooks in one single volume was gradually killing the good culture of use of school libraries and families creating libraries in their homes.

 

“Aware that this practice prevents families from utilising textbooks across siblings, compelling them to purchase new copies for each child, regardless of financial ability, thereby deepening educational inequality.

 

“Observing that education policies in Anambra State should foster inclusivity, affordability and sustainability in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG4 -Quality Education);

 

“We are further worried that these practices increase educational expenses unnecessarily, making basic education less accessible for financially disadvantaged families

 

“These practices negates the state’s efforts to alleviate financial pressures on parents in line with our commitment to affordable and accessible education for all,” he said.

 

The motion was supported by other lawmakers who agreed  that it would address unwholesome practices in schools which had placed  huge financial burden on parents and guardians in the face of current economic reality.

 

Dr Somto Udeze, Speaker of the House referred the matter to the relevant Committees on education to find out the position of the law or make amendments where necessary to create a legal framework addressing the issues.

 

The House adjourned to Nov. 14.
