Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has reaffirmed his commitment to revitalising public education in the state, particularly for underprivileged children.
During a courtesy visit to Dr Aisha Garba, the Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), he said, “Basic education is critical. Without a strong foundation, any structure built on it will eventually collapse. I firmly believe that unless we fix public education, we are only deceiving ourselves. While some can afford private schools, the majority of Nigerian children depend on public education.” He added that his administration is working hard to promote students’ enrolment and retention in public schools.
