Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, has extended the state’s free education policy to cover senior secondary school students.
In September 2023, Soludo declared that education up to the junior secondary level would be both free and compulsory in all public schools.
In a statement on his Facebook page on Friday, Soludo emphasized that the initiative aims to ensure that every child in Anambra has access to free, quality education from nursery through to secondary school.
He further announced that the state government will refund families who have already paid school fees, affirming that education is a right, not a privilege.

“Today, we took a giant leap forward in education for our beloved State! I’m proud to announce the expansion of our free education policy to include senior secondary students in all public schools, building on our existing free education from Nursery to JSS 3.
“We also recognize that the foundation of quality education lies in our teachers. That’s why we are prioritizing teacher quality to ensure our students receive the best possible education. Education is the key to unlocking our children’s futures, and it’s a collective responsibility we all share. Despite resource constraints, we are dedicated to making education not just qualitative, but accessible to all.”
