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. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at corporatetrustnetwork reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  2. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at smartshoppingdepot sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  3. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at findbetterstrategies extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  4. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at reliablebuyinghub added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  5. A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at digitalretailsolutions maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.

  6. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at generalztipsal confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  7. Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at clicktoexpandknowledge suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.

  8. Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at startthinkingforward pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

  9. Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to reliablepurchasehub continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

  10. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at securestrategicbonds reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  11. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at bondprimex kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  12. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at moveforwardtoday extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  13. Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at discovermodernstrategies reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.

  14. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at explorefreshopportunities reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  15. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at corporateunitysolutions gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  16. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at securecommercialbonding added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  17. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after easydigitalretail I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  18. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at topgadgettechnewz1 reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  19. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at reliablecorporatealliances extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  20. Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at clicktoexploremarketideas extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.

  21. Люди, подскажите по личному опыту. А бюрократия эта государственная просто выносит мозг.

  22. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at findsmarterbusinessmoves extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  23. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at pineechoemporium added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

  25. Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at clicktofindbusinessclarity extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.

  26. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at discovernewmarketangles reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  27. Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at genralnewzupdates was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  28. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at smartpurchasecenteronline similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  29. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at startthinkingforward produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  30. A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at enterprisepartnershipsolutions continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  31. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at valuefocusedshoppinghub extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  32. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at explorelongtermgrowth 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.

  33. The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at learnandadvancehere kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.

  34. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at bondedstronghold confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  35. Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at discoverbettersolutions carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

  36. Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.

  37. Люди подскажите Задолбался я уже собирать бумаги А кто-то вообще не знает с чего начать Короче, реально толковые ребята — израильское гражданство в москве с консультацией Через 2 месяца получили паспорт В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — гражданство израиля москва [url=https://grazhdanstvo-izrailya.ru]гражданство израиля москва[/url] Доверьтесь профессионалам Перешлите тому кто думает о репатриации

  38. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at trustedcommercialnetwork reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
