Plateau govt. revokes license of all private primary, secondary schools

The Plateau State Government has revoked the licenses of all nursery, primary, and secondary schools in the state.

Elizabeth Wampum, the state’s commissioner for education made this known on Thursday at a press conference.

Wampum informed that the decision was taken after it was discovered that 5,000 private schools were operating without a license.

The commissioner noted that about 90 per cent of the schools do not adhere to government policies and mandates.

“This is to inform the general public that the operating license of all private Nursery/Pre-primary, Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools in the State will have to revalidate their certification,” Wampum said.
