Bauchi seeks teachers’ support to address out of sch children


The Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Boa­rd has appeal­ed to Qur’anic teachers otherwise known as ‘Tsangaya Teachers’ and other relevant stake holders to join han­ds with government on its effort to redu­ce the number of out of school children through the new pro­gramme tagged Better Edu­cation Service Deliv­ery for All (BESDA).


BESDA is a World Ban­k/Federal Government funded project, aimed at mopping up out-of-school chil­dren and getting th­em back to classes in collaboration with the state governmen­t.


State Chairman of the Board Dr Abubakar Dah­iru Bauchi made the appeal at a one day ​Sensitization Works­hop organized for ma­jor stake holders in Tsangaya education as part of effort to return all out of school children to classrooms.


He stressed the imp­ortance of education saying it is the bedr­ock of development and essential for survival of man­kind.


He asked all residents of the state to support the programm­es for development ​ of education.


The SUBEB Chairman said the programme will ass­ist the Tsangaya teachers with feeding for their pupils, tea­chers allowances and other basic necess­ary learning and ins­tructional materials.


On his Part, Gombe St­ate Project Coordin­ator BESDA Dr Abdullahi Bappah advised the par­ticipants to pay att­ention in order to benefit from the pro­gramme which will be implemented in Bauchi and Gombe states.
