Accountability and Policy Tracker Hails FG’s Proposed Educational Policy

Accountability and Policy Tracker (APT) has commended Tinubu’s government on the 12-year basic education policy and urged him to also prioritize teachers welfare and improve the learning environment for pupils.

APT which is a Non-government agency, comprising more than 10,000 members made the commendation while speaking to a section of the media at its Abuja office.

The group urged the general public to disregard those saying the proposed educational policy is the same as the current or previous ones hence it will not make any significant impact. With the Constitution requiring a minimum of O’level to run for elective positions, this new policy will sure make it easier for more Nigerians to become politically exposed. Even those in the rural areas will no more have the issue of academic qualifications impede them.

This will therefore serve as a leveler for more citizens and afford them the opportunity to hold government offices.

The group says the new proposed educational policy will register in the minds of the younger generation that at least 12years of their lives are dedicated to education.

Accountability and Policy Tracker is a Non Governmental organization that ensures effectiveness of government initiatives.

The group says it is convinced that the federal government’s new basic educational program saying will reduce the number of uneducated citizens and drop outs and very likely address the worrying trend of out of school children, a factor that has been a source of intense concern to the government and education stakeholders as well.

Meanwhile, the head of communication, Mr Ibrahim Zubair also said, the NGO is watching and monitoring with keen interest all the laudable policies and programs of this administration and data-banking them.
