The Kano State Government has ordered that all private schools in the state suspend tuition increases.
In accordance with Governor Abba Yusuf’s policy on quality education in the state, the schools are also expected to renew their operational licences.
This follows a meeting with private school stakeholders held by Baba Umar, the Special Adviser to the Kano State Government on Private Schools.
Umar noted that the suspension of increment of school fees for private schools is to ensure that there are no exploitations.
Kano schools are currently on holidays as school owners are looking forward to wards resumption for the first time in a new session after the price hike on commodities due to subsidy removal. However, some school owners and parents have mixed feelings on the government’s decision.
