Clarity is the foundation of progress
Why your children's school lacks teachers
Common misconception
Many people think the Federal Government runs all schools and should be blamed when their local primary school has no teachers.
How it actually works
Education is on the Concurrent Legislative List—both Federal and State Governments have roles. Federal Government manages federal universities and unity schools. State Governments manage state universities, secondary schools, and teacher recruitment. Local Governments manage primary schools and adult education. Your LGA employs primary school teachers, not the President.
Why it affects everyday life
If your child's primary school lacks teachers, writing to the President or your Governor may not yield results. The correct channel is your LGA Education Department or State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). Knowing the right level of government helps you complain effectively.
Key Takeaway
Primary schools are managed by Local Government. Federal Government does not hire your child's primary school teacher.
