Secondary schools students in Bauchi State staged a protest on Monday against the government’s policy, which separates the boys and the girls in schools.
Students officially resumed school Monday across the State.
The Commissioner for Education, Mr. Aliyu Tilde, said the State government has concluded plans to separate male and female students in secondary schools in the State.
Tilde, while addressing newsmen after the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting in Bauchi, noted that the policy will only be implemented whenever and wherever it is feasible.
He explained that the idea is to address moral decadence, which he said has become prevalent among students of secondary schools.
According to him, private schools would take a cue from the initiative and separate the males who would be attending their academic activities in one institution and the females in another separate institution.
