Only political will can end out-of-school children problem

The issue of the growing number of out-of-school children is a major embarrassment. It’s really been a disaster and has caused more harm than good in the lives of school children.

Apparently, there is no reason why so many children should be out-of-school, particularly in the North East and North West, which has now spread all over the country, even growing number of unemployment, bankruptcy in the level of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, many parents are unable to cater for their children.

To the government, i think should be a major concern. And if you look at how much members of the house put from their constituency votes into school refurbishment, construction, and training of teachers, you will also see a major change in making sure these children attend school and take proper lectures.
