The Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board (ASUBEB) has issued a stern warning to teachers and school heads who are sabotaging Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s free and compulsory education policy.
The board has threatened to sack any teacher or school head found guilty of extorting money from parents and guardians.
Dr. Vera Nkiru Nwadinobi, Executive Chairman of ASUBEB, disclosed this at a press briefing in her office on Wednesday.
She said some school heads have been introducing unauthorized fees, contrary to the state government’s policy.
Nwadinobi revealed that an investigation team discovered alarming cases of extortion in some public schools, including Awada Primary School 1-6, Obosi.
According to her, the investigation team found that headteachers in the affected schools were charging fees for extra lessons, ink fillers for markers, blue pens, and red pens.
