The Plateau Government has revoked the licence of all Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools operating in the state.
The State Commissioner of Education, (secondary), Elizabeth Wampum, disclosed this at a press conference on Thursday.
According to the commissioner, the decision was taken after the realisation that over 5000 private schools were operating without license.
She said 90% of private schools in Plateau do not adhere to government policies and mandates, adding that 85% of the 495 private schools earlier granted licenses had compromised.
She said, βThis is to inform the general public that the operating license of all private Nursery/Pre-primary, Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools in the State will have to revalidate their certification.β
