 Anambra Govt Clamps Down on School Graduation Parties


By Obiageli Nwankwo

 

Anambra State Government has banned graduation parties in nursery and primary schools, describing them as unnecessary and a burden on parents.

 

Under the new directive, only pupils in Primary Six and students in Senior Secondary School Three (SSS3) are permitted to hold graduation ceremonies.

 

The Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, announced the ban at the ongoing four-days capacity-building workshop organized by the Ministry for Private School Proprietors and Teachers at St. John of God Secondary School, Awka.

 

She said the decision followed complaints from parents who are weighed down by the financial demands of such celebrations. According to her, graduation parties had turned into avenues for exploitation, which the government could no longer overlook.

 

Prof. Chuma-Udeh warned that strict compliance is expected from schools, stressing that defaulters would be sanctioned.

 

She added that education is a divine calling and should not be commercialized, noting that practices undermining the state’s mission to make education accessible and equitable for all children in Anambra would not be tolerated.
