Secondary School Students In Bauchi State Protest Against Separation Of Male And Female (Photos)

Students of secondary schools on Monday took to the street of Bauchi in protest over a new policy by the government to separate boys from girls in schools.

State 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.

Addressing newsmen after a State Executive Council (SEC) meeting in Bauchi, Tilde noted that it would only be executed whenever and wherever it was possible, explaining that the idea was to address moral decadence, which he said has become prevalent among students of secondary schools.

The information commissioner also called on private schools to take a cue from the initiative by separating the males who would be attending their academic activities in one institution and the females in another separate institution.
