The Kwara State Government has reiterated its commitment to keeping politics out of education by prohibiting donations of branded materials to public schools. This directive was announced on Wednesday, emphasizing the need for neutrality in educational support.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Sa’adatu Moddibo-Kawu, the government condemned the practice of attaching political messages or images to donated school materials.
The statement read, “While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.
“It is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now usually do not come with the picture of His Excellency the Governor, who feels such practices are not healthy for young children.
“Public officials and private individuals should kindly take note of this. Again, the government thanks everyone who gives any form of support for public education.”
