Kwara Set To Construct 15 New Schools

The Kwara State Government has announced plans to build 15 new schools—comprising 11 primary and four secondary institutions—across the state, with a focus on underserved and nomadic communities.

The Chairman of the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board, Prof. Shehu Adaramaja, disclosed this during a progress briefing on Wednesday, covering activities between January and April.

Prof. Adaramaja said the initiative is part of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s ongoing efforts to close learning gaps and improve access to quality education, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

“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.
