MINISTER URGES RECONSIDERATION OF SCHOOL CLOSURES FOR RAMADAN. (PHOTO).

The Minister of State for Education, Suwaiba Ahmad, has appealed to the governments of Bauchi, Katsina, Kebbi, and Kano states to rethink their decision to shut down state-owned schools for Ramadan. Ahmad expressed concerns that prolonged school closures would result in lost time and negatively impact students' education.


The Federal Ministry of Education has initiated engagement with the four state governments to reconsider their decision, although Ahmad acknowledged that the Federal Government lacks direct control over state-owned schools.


The closure of schools in these predominantly Muslim states has sparked outrage, with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) arguing that the five-week closure is counterproductive, discriminatory, and a violation of non-Muslim students' rights. CAN also warned that the closure would exacerbate the existing educational crisis in the region, which already struggles with high levels of poverty and illiteracy.


According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Nigeria had approximately 18.3 million out-of-school children as of 2024. This latest development threatens to further increase that number, highlighting the need for a swift resolution to ensure minimal disruption to the education of Nigerian students.
