Enrol your children in schools or go to jail – Senate bill

Enrol your children in schools or go to jail – Senate bill

The Senate has passed for first reading a bill that recommends a fine of N50,000 to parents who default in providing their children with primary and secondary school education.

The Red Chamber also recommended free meals for every child in the country.

The bill proposed by Senator Orji Kalu titled, ‘Compulsory free Universal Basic Education Act 2004, Section 2’ states that every government in Nigeria shall provide free, compulsory and universal basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary school age.”

The act further states that “Every parent shall ensure that his child or ward attends and completes his primary school education and junior secondary school education by endeavouring to send the child to primary and junior secondary schools.”

“The Act further states that stakeholders in education in a local government area shall ensure that every parent or person who has the care and custody of a child performs the duty imposed on him under section 2(2) of this Act.”

The act further noted that a parent who contravenes the earlier prescription should be liable, on the first conviction, to be reprimanded.

“On a second conviction, a fine of N2,000 or imprisonment for a term of one month or both; and on subsequent conviction, to a fine of N5,000 or imprisonment for a term of two months or to both.”

The Senate, however, in its amendment, proposed N50,000 fines, instead of the N5,000 previously stated in the Act.

It stated, “A person who receives or obtains any fee contrary to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N10,000 or imprisonment for a term of three months or to both.

“Every parent shall ensure that his child receives full-time education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude by regular attendance at schools.”

However, the Senate proposes, N100,000 in replacement of the N10,000.

The Senate proposed, “Section 3(2) of the Principal Act is amended by deleting N10,000 and inserting N100,000.”

Responding to this development, the Programme Coordinator for Basic Education at Reform Education, Nigeria, Ayodamola Oluwatoyin, in an interview with reporters, noted that while the move by the lawmakers seems commendable, there should be an investigation into the additional charges by the public schools across the country.

  1. Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at shopplusstore extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.

  2. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at cloverdahlia continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  3. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at kettlecrestcraftcollective kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  4. Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at jadkix produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

  5. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at vitalsnippet reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.

  6. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at shopeasestore continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  7. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at syrupspire reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  8. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at holcap adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  9. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at quickharbormerchantgallery kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

  10. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at berryharborcommercegallery pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  12. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at silverumber pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  13. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at summitshire confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  14. Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at syrupserif continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.

  15. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at unicorntempo showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  16. Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at urgesnare extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.

  17. Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at rubyorchardcraftcollective continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.

  18. Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at primevaluecorner kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.

  19. Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at plumcoveartisanexchange extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.

  20. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at banyaneagle suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

  22. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at siskastencil rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  23. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at carobburlap continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  24. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at ekomug reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  25. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at bayougourd extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  26. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at alpinecobble kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  27. Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at shopwavemarket extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.

  28. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at flintanchor reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  29. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at tarotshire confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  30. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at sambasavor provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.

  31. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at lanternorchardartisanexchange kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  32. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to jazbox maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  33. One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at horcall kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.

  34. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at brightharbormerchantgallery hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  35. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at aviarybuckle continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  36. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at quickridgecommercegallery maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  37. Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at shoresyrup only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  38. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to chestnutharbormerchantgallery kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  39. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at ilavex only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  40. I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after stylesteam I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.

  41. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at brackenglaze confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  42. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at sagevogue only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  43. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at smartonlinemarket only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  44. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at seacoveartisanexchange kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  45. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at stylishcartzone kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

  46. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at sheentiny maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
