The Anambra State Government has banned all social events, weddings, shows and entertainment on public primary and secondary school premises across the State.
State Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, said in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Dr Ifeoma Agbaizu, in Awka on Saturday that the move was to protect school premises and infrastructure from being messed up.
According to the statement: “This is a warning to all principals and head teachers to desist from using school premises as commercial venture.
“Henceforth, any principal or primary school head teacher who indulge in such act will be severely dealt with.”
The Commissioner directed the chairmen of the Post Primary Schools Services Commission (PPSSC) and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to disseminate the information to all principals and head teachers in the state.
She also directed school heads to keep to the policy.
