Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq plans to regulate Arabic Schools activities over Kwara school flogging.

Ekohotblog reports that the Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has announced plans to set up a board to regulate the activities of Islamic schools in the state.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, Governor Abdulrazaq announced the plans on Monday while receiving the report of the 11-member panel set up to look into the circumstances surrounding the maltreatment of some students of Madrasah Misbaudeen Al-Islamiy Arabic school, Ganmo in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

According to the governor, “The government will study and implement the report for the benefits of society, including the setting up of the Arabic Education Board.

“We chose to invite experts in the field to look into the issue. We are glad that within a short period, you have come with your report. The government will diligently look into your report.”

Speaking earlier, the chairman of the committee and former Grand Kadi of the state, Justice Idris Haroon, stated that the recommendations included an appeal to the government to immediately set up an Arabic Education Board to regulate the activities of Arabic and Islamic schools.

He said: “One of the most important recommendations which the committee wants Your Excellency to pay attention to is the reconstitution of the Arabic Education Board as the immediate solution to most of the problems confronting Arabic schools in the state,” he said.

The committee, however, frowned at the manner in which the punishment was carried out at the Arabic school and said steps must be taken to ensure that corrective measures were moderate and better implemented.
