The Anambra State Government has issued an order barring schools from mandating pupils and student to write assignments inside textbooks.
According to the government, such a practice is wasteful and unsustainable.
The State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, disclosed this on Thursday, August 28, while addressing participants on the third day of a capacity-building workshop organized by the Ministry of Education for private school proprietors and teachers at St. John of God Secondary School, Awka.
Prof. Chuma-Udeh explained that the decision was aimed at making textbooks reusable, particularly for younger siblings of pupils who would need them when they progress to the next class.
She warned that the government would not tolerate non-compliance with the directive and urged parents, teachers, and school administrators to ensure strict adherence.
She further encouraged stakeholders to report cases of defaulters to the Ministry of Education.
According to the commissioner, the initiative is part of the state government’s strategy to ease financial pressure on families while promoting quality and sustainable education.
