Soludo Set To Save Mission/Public Schools

 

Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has vowed to save public Schools in the state announcing free education to public schools in the state from nursery to JSS 3.

With the move parents have started withdrawing their wards from private schools in the state.

Disclosing this on Sunday during a  Maas at St Patrick's Catholic Church Awka   the Governor advocated that the children of the poor should have the same opportunities as the children of the rich.

He said "The children of the poor cannot attend the schools built by the church, but we are determined in Anambra for it to be a liveable and compassionate society and we are going to break the dynasty of poverty in the state.

"Next week, we have a special package and some kind of grants to encourage mission schools but we are deliberately focused on the government's primary responsibility of giving children of the poor in public schools the best quality education.

"We are trying to help the children of the poor who are left behind. We are on our road to a liveable and prosperous homeland, having the children of the poor attending the same school with children of the rich, taught by the same teachers and have the chance to make progress in life and contribute to the development of society. This is the kind of society we envision," he said.
