<p>The Federal Government, in partnership with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), have commissioned a Bilingual Education Boarding School in Kiru Local Government Area of Kano State, as part of efforts to expand access to inclusive and quality basic education across Nigeria.</p>
<p>Speaking at the commissioning, the Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, described the project as a major investment in human capital development, social inclusion and regional stability. She said the school reflects the strong collaboration between the Federal Government, the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and the IsDB in addressing the educational needs of vulnerable and out-of-school children.</p>
<p>According to her, the bilingual education model integrates English and Arabic literacy with modern pedagogy, technical and vocational education, ICT-driven learning and safe boarding facilities. “Bilingual education strengthens communication, preserves cultural identity and enhances global competitiveness, while ensuring that religious knowledge is not pursued at the expense of modern education,” she said.</p>

<p>Professor Ahmad added that the initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s education transformation agenda, which prioritises access, equity, skills development and strategic planning, while also supporting efforts to reduce the number of out-of-school children nationwide.</p>
<p>Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, said the commissioning of the school marked the opening of new opportunities for learning and national development. He said the state government had declared a state of emergency in the education sector and embarked on wide-ranging reforms to improve access, infrastructure and learning outcomes.</p>

<p>The governor noted that his administration had recruited more teachers, supplied thousands of textbooks, and invested heavily in infrastructure, including the construction of over 1,700 new classrooms and rehabilitation of existing ones across the state. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to making education a top priority and ensuring that children from poor and vulnerable backgrounds have access to quality education.</p>
<p>In her address, the Executive Secretary of UBEC said the Kiru school is one of 30 bilingual model schools being constructed across nine states, including Kano, Adamawa, Borno, Kaduna and Niger. She disclosed that Kano hosts four of the schools, with others located in Doguwa, Ganduje and Ungoggo.</p>
<p>She explained that each model school has the capacity to accommodate over 1,000 students and is equipped with academic and administrative blocks, hostels, staff quarters, vocational centres, a mosque, water facilities and perimeter fencing.</p>
<p>The UBEC boss commended the Kano State Government for its support, particularly in land provision, security and coordination, and also praised the IsDB for its sustained commitment to education development in Nigeria.</p>
