The Delta State Government has sealed six unapproved schools in Oshimili-North Local Government Area of the state.
The action was the outcome of the visit by a monitoring team on Monday to ascertain the level of compliance with the state government’s directive on registration of primary schools in Delta State.
The Commissioner for Primary Education, Dr. Kingsley Ashibogwu, who led the team, listed the affected schools to include Splendour Care Nursery and Primary School, Immortal Dominion Academy and Glorious Height Nursery and Primary School.
Others are Magnified Mercy Nursery and Primary; CossyJully Academy and Ducams Schools, all in Okpanam, Oshimili-North LGA.
According to the Commissioner, the schools were closed down for operating without the government’s approval and running unauthorised educational programmes.
“The ministry has sent warnings on several occasions to all unregistered primary schools across the state to do the needful.
“This decision is not meant to witch-hunt anybody, but for the academic well-being of our dear children.
“All the affected schools have been sealed until they get approval from the State government through the Ministry of Primary Education,” he said.
