The Secretary of FCT Education Secretariat, Malam Sani El-Katuzu has reeled out no fewer than eight strategic plans to boost learning in schools across the Territory in 2022.
El-Katuzu noted in the year ahead security architecture will be strengthened with introduction of technologies, particularly for schools in vulnerable locations.
Making this assertion during the Secretarat’s end of year Media Luncheon, he revealed that teachers’ welfare will be given priority, with the upgrade of physical facilities in all schools.
He disclosed that in 2022, academic activities and programmes will commence at FCT University of Science and Technology (FUSTA), and conversion of FCT College of Education, Zuba to FCT University of Education, Zuba.
He added that other programmes would be close monitoring of private schools’ activities in the territory with a view to ensure compliance with existing regulations and standards.
He said:” We owe it a duty, whoever we are, either as parents, guardians and custodians of children to put in more efforts and be vigilant and know what is happening in our schools, it will help us curb the excesses of students and other residents”.
Also, on the achievements recorded, El-Katuzu said the secretariat established six Junior Secondary Schools, six Primary Schools, eight early Child centres, eleven Senior Secondary Schools across the six Area Councils of the FCT, bringing the total of Senior Secondary Schools to ninety three.
According to him, “It is indeed heart-warming to note that these new Senior Secondary Schools located in rural communities so that no child in FCT is left behind in terms of access to quality education services”.
