Kwara State Government has warned people who intend to donate educational materials to public schools in the state.
A statement released on Wednesday said that the state government has again frowned at a culture of people branding materials to be donated to public school children with subtle or obvious political messages and indoctrination.
The government, in a statement by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Sa’adatu Moddibo-Kawu said, “This practice, which includes emblazoning the picture of the donor on such books or school materials, should stop.
“While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.
“It is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now usually do not come with the picture of His Excellency the Governor, who feels such practices are not healthy for young children.
“Public officials and private individuals should kindly take note of this. Again, the government thanks everyone who gives any form of support for public education.”
