United Nations Children Fund in collaboration with the Kaduna State Universal Basic
Education Board has enrolled over 1,000 out-of-school children from the hard-to-reach
Farar Kasa community in Soba LGA.
Following the partnership that ensued between the state government and UNICEF, a
new primary school and an adult education program for those above school age were
established in the area.
Dr. Gerida Birukila UNICEF Chief of Field Office, Kaduna, while distributing uniforms
and writing materials in preparation for the new academic session, said distance had
hindered children’s access to education, and there is the need to establish a new school
in the community, and called on the members of the community to take ownership of
the school project and ensure their children attend, while, she promised that Farar Kasa
would receive a portable borehole and a medical facility, alongside adult education for
locals above school age.
Chairman of SUBEB, Alhaji Tijjani Abdullahi, commended UNICEF for its consistent
support to Kaduna State in education and healthcare.
