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.
In addition to staff development, Prof. Adaramaja confirmed the payment of outstanding salaries to 1,033 newly hired teachers who had been awaiting confirmation since February, following a verification process.
He also announced that, in partnership with the Uganda Basic Education Foundation, construction has commenced on 37 new classroom blocks and VIP toilets across 33 schools.
Regarding digital learning, Adaramaja highlighted the establishment of a new E-Learning Centre in Adida, describing it as “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.
