The former South-East spokesman to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chairman of the Forum of Former Members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Denge Josef Onoh, has applauded the Federal Government’s decision to phase out the separation of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) from Senior Secondary Schools (SSS).
In a statement made available to journalists, Onoh described the policy, announced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, as a courageous and visionary move that corrects a reform which, he said, has contributed significantly to the high rate of student dropouts across the country.
According to him, the artificial division between JSS and SSS has, for years, created unnecessary administrative bottlenecks, disrupted learning continuity, and placed undue pressure on students and their parents.
He said reintegrating the two levels under a unified secondary education framework demonstrates the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing systemic challenges in the education sector.
