Edo State government says approved textbooks used by older siblings can continue to be used by others as long as they are still listed as approved textbooks.
This is just as the government has placed a ban on graduation ceremonies in nursery and primary schools, saying only those who have completed basic education, that is junior secondary school education, and the Senior Secondary School Education are allowed to hold modest celebration of their achievements.
This is contained in a statement by the Commissioner for Education, Dr Paddy Iyamu in Benin City.
Dr Iyamu, in the statement, said the decisions were in line with the Governor Monday Okpebholo-led administration to reposition education and also make life better and easier for the citizens of the state.
He stated that the directives would take effect from the 2025/2026 academic session.
It would be recalled that Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State gave similar directive banning annual textbook change, Nursery and Primary School graduation in the State.
