Consultant of PLANE Sunny Kulutuye explained at the end of a two-day consultative meeting that the policy development was a response to a request by the Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority. He added that the move was to enable the authority to adequately regulate the operations of private schools.
Sunny also explained that the meeting was to introduce the concept of the policy and mobilise critical stakeholders to take ownership and be part of the development process.
On his part, Technical Lead on Governance of Non-state Systems, PLANE, James Fadokun, said the consultative meeting was to facilitate a public private dialogue to reflect on existing policy guidelines for private schools in the state. Also, PLANE State Team Lead, Diana Agabi pointed out that the measure was very crucial considering that private schools have been left out of most donors’ support programmes in the country.
The Chairman, Kaduna State Chapter of National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools Ja’afaru Riyoji described the step as a “welcome development”, and expressed readiness to support the process.
