Anambra Government To Implement Accessible, Equitable Educational Policies – Mrs Soludo

Wife of Anambra state governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, says her husband’s administration is working committedly to implementing sound policies that would make education more accessible and reduce the number of out of school children, in the state.

The First Lady of Anambra state, Mrs Soludo, stated this in Awka, the state capital, to mark the 2023 International Day of Education.

According to the wife of Anambra state governor, the global event which is commemorated January, 24 every year, is an important reminder to government at all tiers of the indispensability of education to the peace and development of any society.

She noted that while investment in education must be seen as a prerequisite for societal growth, organized policies must be sustained to make education more inclusive, equitable and accessible to all gender, especially the girl child.

Fundamental right

Mrs Soludo who maintained that education is the fundamental right of all humans, explained that those who still prioritize education based on gender, are the biggest threats to a growing future.

The Anambra First Lady also stated that the global count which puts the number of out of school children and adolescents across the globe at about two hundred and forty-four million, means that a lot still needs to be done by all stakeholders to check the worrisome tide.

She further explained that the current administration in Anambra State, has developed solid educational policies — including the recent recruitment of five thousand teachers to fill up the gaps in classrooms aimed at making education more accessible and to ensure that every child resident in the state, is in the classroom.
