Good initiative.
Needs to be expanded to cover political office holders and medical facilities while the remaining 35 states and 774 LGAs emulate it.

BUHARI DAURA

sunnyb0b0:


Considering the name of the person who issued the directive (in bold above ), anybody still in doubt about their mental capacity?

Mr Lawal Buhari Daura is a dullard...just like the magician of Daura!!!

Shouldn't parents have the right to send their children to whatever schools they like? As long as they give 100% at their jobs as teachers, shouldn't that be the primary concern of the state government? Let's be honest with ourselves, what is not good, is not good. This is not good.

Also, what's with this new trend of reporting somebody somewhere 'orders'...etc. I thought we were practising a democracy, why then is the media reporting as if its a superior military officer barking out orders to his inferiors? Have we been so used to military rule that its now our default line of thought?

DoTheNeedful:
Black man and black brain Mandating public school teachers to withdraw their kids from private schools is an infringement on their rights and i dont think that is in consonance with any labour laws.
People have the right to send their kids to wherever;thats why i dont join people to clamour for our leaders to stop sending their kids wherever. Our leaders should just be morally guided enough to make our schools globally competitive and we citizens should demand just that.

It is not different from Local government in the develop world tell city workers to live in the same city
It is now condition of employment for the teachers

Although this is an infringement on the rights of the Teachers, I think it is a brilliant idea. Public schools are subsidized and affordable to the poor masses who can not afford to send their children to private schools. The teachers however use their time pursuing their private endeavors thereby 'not' providing quality education to these kids. It doesn't make sense that you are a teacher yet can't/wont teach ur kids or have them study where u teach. This should not only end with teachers though. All public officials; teachers (and others ESPECIALLY POLITICIANS) should be made to send their children to public schools and public Hospitals

There is no infringement on the rights of the Teachers, but a new condition of employment for the teachers

when we talk of quality education, is it all about the building and facilities?
what of the quality of the teachers?

if the government decide to sack teachers that are below par, what then?

Most of our teachers are standard.

This move can only be made by DULLARDs in daura.if they can afford private skls y not?
Dictators

Those in the educational sector understand what the Governor is trying to do.
This may sound funny , but this is a good move..
Govt sch teachers are lazy and they have this "I-dont-care " attitude towards the learners ,

I met a public school teacher making funny comments that primary 4 pupils cannot read in the school she was teaching , and I asked her what they were doing about it, her response was, "what is their business" I was amazed,

They claim the govt does not provide all the instructional materials needed for effective teaching and learning and I argued that she would have been able to improvise if she was an effective teacher who was passionate about her job.

If they thimk they are doing their job effectively and deserve what they are been paid for, then they should enrol their kids in the school they teach .

This is a good initiative and it should rob off on other States too

Dictators?--- NO
But condition of continuous employment
If you want to teach your kids must attend public school

The governor and other political office holders should lead by example. They should stop deceiving gullible Nigerians..........But most of these public school teachers nor dey try at all o, dem nor care abt the children cos dia own dey private schools.......They spend most parts of the day gossiping and engaging in one form of business or the other right in the school premises

raayah:


So my child should sit in a class of 500 without standard labs and facilities because teachers get paid?

Teachers are supposed to get paid, students need good education.

I support sacking of bad teachers and strict rules for attendance but why do public officials children have to suffer for this? How does this solve the problem. A lazy teacher is a lazy teacher. Full stop.

Stop accepting mediocrity.

it seems like you didn't read the original post.

This is primary school we are talking about. If you are current with happenings.
You will know that the past administration have given primary schools a face lift,plus standard equipment.
I recently visited my the primary school I attentend and I couldn't recogniz it.

I am not ruling out that some public schools need attention.
But what stops those once with all facilities needed,from doing their job.

They still have same attitude toward our educational system.

I think you are being sentimental on this issue.

You should be agitating for all public official to embrace this scheme,not discourage it.

raayah:

"Standard" you say?
then our schools should be of "standard" then!

Let me ask, The governor himself, which school are his children attending?

in the same way....
politicians should withdraw their kids from foreign universities to Nigeria universities.....


politicians should stop travelling abroad for medical attention and treatments and do it in Nigeria too

check your mathematics, if you subtract 1 state and have 35, how come you still have 774 LGAs left?

Nobody feel talkam.... When i do public school is just like, am brainless.

Right step at the right time

This is a very wrong step he is taking. Has he properly equipped the state schools.Hope he is also ready to send his children to the state university and schools and also use the state hospital to show good example.

nameee:


So why is the government employing sub-standard teachers then?

what do you expect when mediocrity had been institutionalized in the name of employing "my person" or filling quota?

raayah:
Not Good

I do not support this at all. Every parent should have the right to send their kids to a good school.

Its not only teachers that make the school. Libraries, Laboratory, student-teacher ratio, access to counsellors e.t.c are all very important for students to grow and learn.

If the government steps up their game,parents will enrol their kids.

well articulated point.

All the politicians in that state should first withdraw their children living andstudying abroad before the teachers can be looked into

But the news says no penalties...

Lol!!! Sometimes I wonder hw tns happn in 9ja o. Y wud a public scul teacher fix his child in a private. Ds is to shw dat t private scul is beta off.

Well said.
Where I send my children/ward to should be my choice and mine alone.
These governors and misplaced priorities.

Check out some peeps praising this move, I smh vigorously

This mentality by kastina state is primitive and an abuse of fundamental human rights. So a child cannot tell his/her parents that they want to attend a private institution nor could a parent Decide they want their children to attend private institution. Why are governors children schooling abroad?

I am mostly ashamed of the herd mentality approach of our leaders. It may sound good but it is totally irreponsible of any government to make such policy.

We have a long way to go as a nation.

Dear Aminu Katsina, how many children do u have in public scbool
