The Yobe State Commissioner for Basic Education and Secondary Education, Muhammad Sani Idriss, said approximately 20,000 girls each year are unable to progress beyond junior secondary schools due to parental concerns regarding potential abuse.
Commissioner Idriss disclosed this during a conversation about the Yobe State Government’s plan to establish eight additional girls’ day senior secondary schools, aiming to promote girl child education.
He confirmed that these schools have already commenced operations, even in the absence of completed physical structures.
“Every year, around 20,000 girls fail to advance beyond junior secondary schools due to their parents’ fears of abuse or reluctance to have them study far from home. Therefore, these schools will address this problem,” he stated.
