Free education is explicitly stated in the constitution, but with the proviso that it would only be provided \u201cwhen the government can afford,\u201d which is why it also involves voluntary payments from all parties involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our common responsibility to ensure student safety in schools. We will therefore promote formal negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere we are unable to give, we encourage PTA and the appropriate institutions so that we may come to an agreement on a term that is agreeable to all of us. As part of the initiatives that can contribute to peace, we will also support numerous collaborations. Whether we concur or not, we must acknowledge the significance of PTAs in maintaining services in<span style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"> lots of our schools at both local and federal levels.\u201d PUNCH reports. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, while we do that with limited resources at the ministry level, we try to see how we can block leakages and see how more funds can be available to schools to ensure that quality education is accessible, affordable, and acceptable to every Nigerian without compromising the standard of education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: PUNCH<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: AhmedSoliu111 (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
