Benue seals two schools for forcing students to buy textbooks
The Benue State Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB) has sealed two schools, Orenda and Opal, in Makurdi over alleged victimisation of students and violations of the state government’s textbook policy.
Jeffrey Adzam, an information officer with the board, disclosed this in a statement, saying the action followed complaints from parents and the schools’ alleged failure to comply with government directives on textbook purchases and reuse.
According to the statement, the government’s textbook policy allows parents to reuse textbooks among their children and purchase approved books from external bookstores rather than being compelled to buy them directly from schools.
