A chieftain of New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has declared that changing of text books on a yearly basis is causing more hardship for parents and guardians.
Oguntoyinbo, who spoke on Tuesday, advised the Minister of Education, Mr Tunji Alausa and other stakeholders in the education sector to halt such practice.
The NNPP chieftain made these declarations via a statement made available to DAILY POST.
He said, “The attitude of both private and government schools in changing text books every term has forced the parents to continuously buy new books every term for different classes.
“During our time, siblings were using textbooks of their elders. I am urging the government to stop changing textbooks every term or year, parents are groaning in pain.
“I call on the Minister of Education and the State Governors to stop this habit as parents are going through hell.
“I also call on the governments both at the state and the federal level to subside prices of text books to help the parents”.
