The House of Representatives has urged Governors of the 36 states including the Federal Capital Territory to implement the provisions of the Universal Basic Education Commission Act, 2004 and the Child’s Right Act, 2003.
The motion, which was moved by Bamidele Salam, stated that Section 15 of the Child’s Right Act provided that every child had the right to free, compulsory and universal basic education.
Salam noted that the figure appeared to be on the increase as the ministry had stated that there had been an increase of more than three million in the figure from 2020.
The House urged UBEC to liaise with state governments, which had adopted the Child’s Right and the UBEC Acts for the enforcement of the laws.
