Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo says her husband’s administration is working committedly to implement sound policies that would make education more accessible and reduce the number of out-of-school children in the state.
Mrs Soludo stated this in a statement released in Awka to mark the 2023 International Day of Education.
According the Governor’s wife, the global event, which is commemorated on twenty-fourth January every year, is an important reminder to government at all levels of the indispensability of education to 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.
Mrs Soludo who maintained that education is the fundamental right of all humans, explained that those who still prioritize education based on gender are 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 education 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 class.
