Benue Govt shuts school over poor standards

The Benue State Government on Monday sealed Benedictine Order of Peace and Unity Academy Foundation, Nyiman, Makurdi, over failure to meet approved standards.

The Director General, Bureau for Education Quality Assurance, BEQA, Terna Francis, who led the team, said the school was operating in an uncompleted hotel building.

Francis stated that the school had no curriculum, lesson plan, scheme of work, qualified teachers, and was operating three different schools within the uncompleted building.

He said that Benedictine Order Academy was not registered and the government did not approve its existence. He equally warned that the government would not allow any substandard school to exist in the state.

The director said BEQA has identified 2,416 illegal schools in the state and has already issued all the necessary notices to the proprietors to either meet the required standard or shut down.

“The risk involved in keeping children in such buildings cannot be overemphasised.

“As government, as a regulatory body, we cannot allow anything harmful or evil to happen to these children of ours.

“That is why I’m here with the management of BEQA in collaboration with the GM Urban Development Board to seal the school,” he said.

He advised parents to withdraw their children from the school that has neither uniforms nor records and take them to government-approved institutions of learning within the state.
