Kwara State to Build 15 New Schools in Underserved and Nomadic Communities
The Kwara State Government has announced plans to construct 15 new schools-11 primary and four secondary-across the state, prioritising underserved and nomadic communities.
The initiative was disclosed by Prof. Shehu Adaramaja, Chairman of the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), during a progress update on Wednesday covering activities from January to April 2025.
Prof. Adaramaja stated that the project aligns with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's vision to bridge educational gaps and improve access to quality schooling, particularly in remote and underserved regions of the state.
"As part of our strategic education plan, 6,993 teachers and school administrators have received training under the New Calhoun Creek programme, aimed at improving instructional quality," he said.
In addition to staff development, he confirmed the payment of outstanding salaries to 1,033 newly employed teachers who had been awaiting confirmation since February, following a verification exercise.
The SUBEB chairman also revealed that, in collaboration with the Uganda Basic Education Foundation, construction has begun on 37 new classroom blocks and VIP toilets across 33 schools.
Highlighting advancements in digital learning, Adaramaja announced the establishment of a new E-Learning Centre in Adida, calling it "a major leap in digital education" for the state.
"We are also promoting inclusive physical education through nomadic and mobile athletic competitions. These projects reflect our commitment to ensuring no child is left behind," he added.
