In this compelling video, students, parents, and community leaders share their struggles following the Kaduna State Government’s discontinuation of SSCE fee payments. This policy change has created significant financial barriers, particularly for girls, leading to a sharp decline in school completion rates.
According to the Kaduna State Bureau of Statistics Annual Schools Census Report 2022/2023, 66,466 students were enrolled in SS3 public schools, yet only 45% managed to complete their studies. Families unable to afford examination fees have been forced to prioritize between education and survival, leaving countless dreams unfulfilled.
If the SSCE fee support policy is reinstated, it could ensure a 100% impact, benefiting every enrolled student and restoring hope to thousands of families. This vital step, coupled with enhanced security and community engagement, is essential for promoting gender equity and sustainable development in Kaduna State.
