Parents and teachers have kicked against Kaduna State Government’s decision to migrate to a 4-day working week in public schools across the state, Siggy reports.

Recall that Siggy reported that the state governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai directed all public schools to migrate to a four-day working week to enable workers to focus on agriculture.

According to the parents and teachers interviewed, the new policy will affect the performance of the pupils negatively.

The state government on Sunday in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Education, Halima Lawal, said the 2021/2022 academic calendar would be adjusted to ensure coverage of the curriculum for the academic session.

She said: “All public schools are to migrate to the 4-day working week while the 2021/2022 academic calendar would be adjusted to ensure coverage of the curriculum for the academic session,” she said.

Reacting to the comment, a parent in Rigasa whose children attends a public school, Aliyu Suleiman, said the policy would affect his children negatively.

“As parents, we are not happy with this policy because it will affect our children’s performance in school.

“Remember what happened in 2020 when public schools were shut down due to pandemic and now the children were struggling to recover, the government came up with this 4-day working week,” he said.

Another parent, Suwidi Zakari, said a day difference will surely affect the life of a child in public school.

“One day can affect a child attending a public school. We hope the government will have a rethink except if they don’t care about our children,” he said.

A teacher, who craved anonymity kicked against the 4-day working week policy, saying instead the government should pay the teachers their regular salary or overtime for the Friday work.

“If the government wants to help the teachers, it can be done through paying us overtime and our regular salary instead of a day reduction because a day will have a negative effect on the learners,” he said.

Other teachers spoken to also kicked against the 4-day working week policy.

Hell rufai at work again

Which Kaduna ...the state or the capital?

Make those parents go sit down and relax for one place jare. They are just looking for an excuse to exempt themselves from doing their jobs as parents. The school cannot do everything, hence parents need to step up.

Teachers are humans too with children. They deserve enough rest and care too. It is on record that only teacher continue working even after official working hour. They go home and still form notes and mark scripts. Abeg make Dem give teachers small break Abeg.

Parents step up and play your roles.

Hell fire don't care. His value for education is very poor.

It's a dumb move.

1. How safe are the farmlands?
2. How many farmers do you need to feed a nation where mechanised farming is practiced?
3. Then Farming is a big deal so is teaching, neither of the two can be done part-time. So, if tomorrow if El-rufai no teacher in class on Monday morning we should not hear complain o.

El-rufai’s excuse is laughable. He cannot with his chest say that he has made that day an holiday in line with Islamic fundamentalist society, the Agric excuse is even more ridiculous now that farming communities are butchered as I speak for their land. Kaduna has been blessed with the worst of specimens: an Islamic bigoted leader.

Name the countries in the world that operate with 4 day working week, please.

Anyways, the next government will overturn it.

At the least, before any policy is made, common sense dictates that the people for whom it is made must be consulted.

It's not a bad idea to take Fridays off and be more productive. Enroll your children for vocational trainings and other out of school learning activities.

Typical Nigerian parents. Schools cannot and should not raise your kids for you.

Islamists in power. Friday is a Holy Day. Even when UAE is ensuring that Friday becomes a work day, these Nigerians love Mohammed more than Arabs.

Jajaweed explosion

Education is sin in the north.

Boko haram strategy
