As part of efforts to improve public sector education in the state, Anambra State government will soon commence the process of recruiting an additional 3000 teachers into the state public schools.

The Governor explained that the move was to end era of “PTA” Teachers and grant access to quality education to Anambra children.
According to Governor Soludo, his administration is intentional about projecting public sector education as a model and pacesetters for other categories of school, assuring that his administration will provide accessible and quality education as the foundation for the much desired sustainable future.
Professor Soludo lamented that though tuition-free education exists in the state, students are usually made to pay dozens of other fees and levied, assuring that his government has also ended that dispensation too.
He maintained that he is determined to demonstrate the full meaning of free education, specifically targeted at children of the poor and vulnerable in the society, because every Anambra child deserves to be taught by the best teachers.
For the Principal of the school, Mrs Chidinma Egboh, Governor’s love for education is indisputable and eulogized his strides in the sector since he assumed office.
