You may call it teacher\u2019s inhumanity to students and you won\u2019t be wrong.<\/p>\n

The sight was both pathetic and annoying.<\/p>\n

For long, students of Hafsat Ahmadu Bello Memorial Secondary School,
\nSokoto, have had to endure learning in the most uncomfortable way.<\/p>\n

Only a few classes in the school have enough seats to accommodate them. For
\nlong, they have to put up with taking lectures while seated on bare floor.
\nMost use prayer mats to protect their whote tops from the floor\u2019s dust,
\nwhile other come to classes with extra wrappers to spray on floor as they
\nsit.<\/p>\n

While they have to put up with the most uncomfortable situation to take
\nlectures daily, a few blocks away, 200 sets of classroom furniture were
\nlocked away, unattended to, and left to rot away.<\/p>\n

But their suffering came to an end last week when the committee set up by
\nGovernor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to implement the state of emergency declared
\nin education visited the school.<\/p>\n

The visit was facilitated by the need to individually assess problems of
\nvarious schools and make recommendations to government on how best to
\naddress them.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon visiting the Hafsat Ahmadu Bello Memorial Secondary School, Sokoto,
\nstudents were seen taking lectures while sitting on the floor. To our
\namazement, a few blocks away, 200 new classroom furniture were locked away
\nunattended to. We immediately ordered that the furniture be arranged in the
\nclasses in need, and the school management was admonished to always
\nprioritise the need of the students at all times,\u201d said Dr. Shadi Sabeh,
\nwho led members of the School Needs Assessment sub-committee during the
\nvisit.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo while the government has provided facilities, the school management
\nwill decide not to utilize them. The school managers must key into the new
\nvision for better schools or all our efforts will be in vain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The joy of the kids could not be contained as they took the lead in
\narranging the chairs in their classes by themselves.<\/p>\n
