The Katsina State Government has withdrawn the operating licenses of all private and community schools in the state, with effect from August 13, 2025.
The announcement came through a circular issued by the
Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education and signed by Commissioner Hajiya
Zainab Musa-Musawa.
The ministry’s Public Relations Officer, Malam Sani Danjuma,
released the document in Katsina on Saturday.
According to the circular, the move is part of the
government’s effort to strengthen quality assurance and standardization within
the education sector.
“The withdrawal of licenses is aimed at ensuring that
schools operate in line with approved standards and provide quality education
to students,” Danjuma said.
The circular also outlined a review of fees for license
application, registration, and annual renewal.
“Owners of affected schools are required to obtain fresh
licenses by submitting proof of payment to the ministry on or before September
30, 2025.”
The statement also added that school operators have been
warned not to increase tuition or other charges without government approval.
The ministry further promised to issue additional guidelines
soon, including categorization of schools and the revised fee structure.
