The Executive Chairman of the Rivers State Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Ven. Fyneface Akah, has ordered the immediate suspension of the Head teacher of Community Secondary School, Rumuokwurusi in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State for turning back pupils that failed to pay registration fees in the school.
Ven. Akah who gave the order at the three-day Leadership Training programme for Aspiring Head Teachers and Supervising Directors held in Port Harcourt, directed the suspended head teacher to hand over to the vice-principal of the school.
He warned all principals and head teachers of the basic education segment of the education sector against charging fees in schools because education in Rivers State was free.
He also warned that the SUBEB authorities have not given any approval for schools to make uniforms for schoolchildren, and said that anyone caught making uniform for pupils would be penalized according to law.
The SUBEB Chairman described principals and head teachers as extensions of the board, whose focus must be on educational organization, adding that their responsibility included community leadership.
He called on school heads to make sacrifices and devote efforts to see that children that were not doing well in school were encouraged, saying creative education must go beyond conventional education to adopting creative approaches to teaching and learning.
