The Federal Government has commenced a comprehensive nationwide on-the-spot monitoring of both public and private schools with a view to strengthening the quality of the system and eliminating institutions established as ‘miracle centres’.

The quality assurance monitoring initiative was directed by the Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa, in line with the determination of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration towards ensuring that schools operating in Nigeria have minimum facilities and conducive environments for effective teaching and learning.

Deputy Director from the Quality Assurance Department, Federal Ministry of Education, Rukayat Ibrahim, led a team from the Ministry on the on-the-spot assessment to the Redeemers Teap International School, Garki, Abuja, on Tuesday.

Speaking after inspecting the school, Rukayat told newsmen that the visit was aimed at putting schools on the right track.

She said the exercise is taking place simultaneously nationwide from primary to secondary school levels, in both public and private schools.

“We are doing what we call on-the-spot assessment, which is a day assessment, two, three hours, and we are finished. We need to cover as many schools as possible. The report will be so short to read, not the other type of lengthy booklets or reforms that we’ve been doing.
