The education sector in Anambra State is set for an overhaul, as the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo is taking a significant step towards establishing smart and child-friendly academic environments. Governor Soludo said he is committed to provide quality education is evident in his recent visit to Premier Primary School in Obosi, where he emphasized the need for pupils and students to be equipped with the confidence required to compete globally. The initiative reflects a holistic approach to education, focusing not only on academic content but also on creating an environment that fosters innovation and critical thinking.
The Governor has further demonstrated his dedication to education by addressing a crucial backlog. The offsetting of the three years backlog of the state counterpart fund for the Universal Basic Education Intervention Fund Project is a testament to the administration’s resolve to prioritize educational infrastructure and development. This financial commitment is to accelerate the implementation of key projects aimed at enhancing the quality of education across primary and junior secondary schools in the state.
As the bidding opens for UBEC projects in Awka, the Executive Chairman of the Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board, Professor Vera Nwadinobi, has reassured the public of due process and transparency in the exercise.
Professor Nwadinobi explains that the present administration focuses on accountability and efficient utilization of resources. The collaboration between the government and educational stakeholders in Anambra State signifies a collective effort to create an educational system that not only meets international standards but also empowers the next generation with the tools they need to excel in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
