“The fact that many primary and secondary schools in the
state lacked furniture, appropriate infrastructure, and other resources, as
well as a poor boarding school feeding plan, among other things, indicates that
the policy was indisputably defective,” he said.
The commissioner made the observation during an unscheduled
inspection of selected public secondary schools in the state. At GGASS Tumfafi,
Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, it was noted that the classes were
congested with students seated on bare floors, as nine out of the 16 classes
had no furniture at all, while the rest had only a few chairs and desks.
The school, with 1,808 students, has 21 teachers. A block of
classrooms initiated in the school by the Tumfafi community was left abandoned,
a project which the commissioner promised to complete as it would help in
decongesting some classes.
At Government Technical College Dambatta, Doguwa noted that
the past administration failed to renovate the college’s four destroyed
hostels, forcing the 530 students to reside in stuffy conditions in two
hostels, which are also begging for renovation.
The college’s rear fence also collapsed a long time ago,
making it liable to all forms of insecurity.
Doguwa had requested that IDEAS, a World Bank-funded project
working to improve infrastructure in science and technical schools in the
state, whose project officer was present during the visit, focus on renovating
the shattered hostel. He also directed that other projects scheduled for the
college be aligned with the plans of the state government to improve teaching
and learning.
The commissioner also visited GGAC, Goron Dutse, a girls’
secondary school in Kano Municipality, among other schools.
