The Kwara State Government has warned people who intend to donate educational materials to public schools in the state to desist from branding the items.
The government announced the ban in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Sa’adatu Moddibo-Kawu.
The statement disclosed that the branded materials usually come with subtle or obvious political messages and indoctrination.
“This practice, which includes emblazoning the picture of the donor on such books or school materials, should stop.
“While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.
“It is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now usually do not come with the picture of His Excellency the Governor, who feels such practices are not healthy for young children.
“Public officials and private individuals should kindly take note of this. Again, the government thanks everyone who gives any form of support for public education,” the statement said.
