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. If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at discovernewbusinesspaths reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

  2. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through createbetteroutcomes I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  3. Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at globalenterprisebonds kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.

  4. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at zenvaxo the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  6. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at buildyourstrategicfuture 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.

  7. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at globalenterprisebonds continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.

  8. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at securemarketbuyingplace continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  9. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at fastbuyingoutlet maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  10. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at sustainablebusinesspartnerships also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  11. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at enterprisevaluealliances confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  12. Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at globalbusinessrelationshiphub extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.

  13. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at trustedcorporateconnections maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  14. Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at clicktoexploreideas 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.

  15. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at globalbusinessrelationshiphub produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  16. Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at businessrelationshipnetwork got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.

  17. Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at bondedcompass 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.

  18. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at discovernewbusinesspaths did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  19. Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at explorelongtermopportunities maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  20. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at securecommercialalliances extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  21. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at clicktofindstrategicoptions maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  22. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at modernshoppingecosystem 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.

  23. Народ всем привет Продаваны врут про материалы То ЛДСП тонкая как картон Короче, единственные кто не наваривается — кухня на заказ спб из массива Сделали за две недели В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — купить кухню на заказ в спб [url=https://kuhni-spb-qmz.ru]https://kuhni-spb-qmz.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки Сам мучался теперь делюсь

  24. Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at globalshoppinginfrastructure extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  25. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at clicktoadvanceknowledge kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  26. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at professionaltrustalliances kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  27. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at trusteddealstore reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  28. Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at businessgrowthpartnerships continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.

  29. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at globalretailcommercehub prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  30. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at valuebasedshoppingonline continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  31. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at smartbuyingcorner 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.

  32. However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at buildsmartergrowthpaths added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.

  33. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at clicktofindclarity 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.

  34. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at onlineconsumerbuying added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  35. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked clickforgrowthinsights I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  36. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at everydaypurchaseplatform continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  37. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at professionalbusinessbonding continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  38. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at airycargo kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  39. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at globaldigitalshoppingmarket continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  40. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at clicktoexplorefutures added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  41. Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at learnfromexpertinsights continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.

  42. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to clicktolearnstrategically confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  43. Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at bluecrestbond showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
