While commending the UNICEF and other partners for their technical inputs and unwavering support, the Commissioner said plans are finalized to overcome the barriers to learning caused by insecurity.

She said while decrying the detrimental impact of insecurity on the state’s education system, that plans are also underway to establish early warning systems in public schools around vulnerable areas.

According to her “the state government has decided to relocate many of the affected schools in high risk areas to safer areas.

“As a government, we will ensure we tackle the root causes of insecurity through social welfare programs for conflict affected households.

“Plans are underway to upgrade security infrastructure in schools and to establish early warning systems in vulnerable areas.”
