The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has taken action against substandard private schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Erudite Bright Kids in Kagini and Jane’s Angela School in Abuja Municipal Area Council were closed down during an operation to address the issue.
Dr. Danlami Hayyo, the Mandate Secretary of the Education Secretariat at FCTA, led the team that carried out the closures. The objective was to uphold the quality of teaching and learning in FCT schools. This move aligns with the Department of Quality Assurance’s mandate, which involves accrediting schools, monitoring, and inspection to ensure the provision of quality educational services.
According to Dr. Hayyo, proper registration, payment of dues, and compliance with necessary requirements are essential for schools to operate in the FCT. The FCTA is determined to clean up the education system and enforce minimum standards, as outlined in the operational guidelines for schools.
Dr. Hayyo added, “We will also intensify our efforts to ensure FCT schools compete favorably in the global education space.”
