Edo State government, through the Subsidized Basic Education Board (SUBEB), has begun distributing back-to-school packs to students across the state. The initiative aims to support families by providing essential learning materials and uniforms, ensuring that children can attend school without financial barriers. The distribution, which started in early September, is part of a broader effort to improve educational access and quality in the region.
The packs include notebooks, pens, rulers, and school uniforms, tailored to meet the needs of primary and secondary students. Officials emphasized that the program is designed to reduce the burden on parents and promote equal opportunities for all learners. The initiative has received positive feedback from educators and community leaders, who praised the government’s commitment to education.
The distribution process is being carried out in stages to ensure efficient coverage. Local authorities are working closely with schools to identify students in need and provide the necessary support. This effort reflects the state’s ongoing focus on improving public services and addressing socioeconomic challenges through targeted interventions.
