Friday, September 5, 2025 - Edo State Government has appealed to residents to take advantage of its free education policy to enrol their children and wards in public schools next week.
It reiterated its stand on punishment for out of school
students and their parents, saying its ‘Back to School Campaign’ was part of
efforts to reduce out of school children population.
Executive Chairman, Edo State Senior Secondary School
Education Board (SSEB), Dr. Maureen Ekhorangbon, who spoke at a road show
sensitisation exercise in Benin City, reminded residents that education
remained free in the state.
She urged residents to take advantage of the free education
offered by the state government to ensure their children and wards were
properly educated.
Ekhorangbon said the road show was to sensitise parents and
students on the need for adequate preparation ahead of school resumption slated
for Monday.
The SSEB boss said many parents had expressed their
willingness to withdraw their children from private schools and enrol them in
public schools.
She said: “Early resumption in a new academic session gives
room for improved grades, development of strong work ethic, and set goals for
learning and achievements in specific subjects.
“Teachers are ready to engage students in activities that
will foster positive school environment and grant access to quality education,
thereby strengthening education system.
