She said that in meeting this obligation, the government has declared free education for every child from primary to secondary school in the state.

The permanent secretary explained that the move was part of measures to ensure that every resident of the state is educated, to enable them have a quality life.

She said: “Therefore, parents have no excuse not to send their children to school, as the government has taken off all financial burden from parents.

“You should be aware that the Child Welfare and Protection Law, 2018, section 18 (6), stipulates that any parent or guardian who fails to send his or her child to school commits an offence.

“It added that a parent is liable on a first conviction to be reprimanded and ordered to undertake community service and on second conviction risk fine or imprisonment or both.

“As such, sending your children to school is no longer a choice, but compulsory and failure to do so is a criminal offense with a possible jail term.”

She warned that on no account should any parent deny his or her child the right to education, which she noted would unlock the child’s full potential for a better future.

The permanent secretary added that even adults were given a second chance to acquire education in the spirit of “not living anyone behind.”
