THE Osun State Ministry of Education has come hard on the abuse of graduation ceremonies for kindergartens nursery pupils in the state.

In a Press Release signed by the Permanent Secretary of Education M.A.Jimoh available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, the ministry banned “all graduation ceremonies for Nursery and kindergarten pupils, effective immediately.”

The ministry has equally directed that henceforth “textbooks are designed to be used for a period of three years, allowing children (pupils and students) to use the textbook of their sibling for three consecutive years.”

In addition, the ministry has also stopped the use of workbook inside textbook “to ensure that the textbook is not only for a session.”

“It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Education that the practice of organizing elaborate graduation ceremonies for Nursery and Kindergarten pupils has become increasingly common.

While we appreciate efforts to celebrate educational mile stones, the current trend has raised serious concerns regarding the financial burden on parents, loss of valuable instructional time and the commercialization of early childhood education.

The Ministry of Education in Osun State is committed to providing quality and functional education to all students in the State. To achieve this goal, the Ministry has established guidelines for Graduation ceremonies and text book usage in public and private primary and secondary schools.

Consequently, graduation ceremonies and parties are only permitted for:

1. Primary 6 graduating pupils

2. Senior secondary schools SSS3 students

In view of the above, the Ministry of Education hereby bans all graduation ceremonies for Nursery and kindergarten pupils, effective immediately.

This policy aims to ensure that students, parents, guardians, and stakeholders and schools focus on the academic achievements of students at the end of their primary and secondary education cycles. Also to reduce significant financial expenditure which places undue pressure on families.

Textbook Usage:

To promote stability and consistency in education, proprietors of faith based and private schools are required to adhere to the approved list of textbooks. These textbooks are designed to be used for a period of three years, allowing children (pupils and students) to use the textbook of their sibling for three consecutive years.

In addition, using of workbook inside the textbook should stop henceforth to ensure that the textbook is not only for a session.

All schools are expected to comply strictly with this directive. Monitoring teams will conduct random checks, and any school found violating this policy will face appropriate disciplinary measures, including fines or suspension of registration.

We count on your full cooperation to uphold the integrity and purpose of education.”
